Hello, I’m a beginer in Processing using APDE on Phone and Processing on Windows. If anyone can help me.
I create this sketch on Windows, this is a stupid sample but it’s run fine.
//---------------------------------------
PImage cloneImg;
void setup() {
PImage img = loadImage(“img.png”); // anything image
cloneImg = img.copy();
}
void draw() {
background(0);
image(cloneImg, 0, 0);
}
//---------------------------------------
When I try to run it under my Phone with APDE 0.5.0 I have a strange compile error 🙂
Initializing build sequence…
Deleted old build folder
Injected log broadcaster

For some reason, Android mode doesn’t have the `PImage.copy()` function with no parameters. I think you can use [`PImage.get()`](https://processing.org/reference/PImage_get_.html) with no parameters instead.
