“Sketch launched on the device”, but black screen on the phone

Hi! I have a code working at all. It runs everything and finds sketch’s data. The only error is a deprecated method, but it is underlined yellow, so I think it should not affect.

It says Sketch launched on the device , but on my phone it appears a fast flash and then a black screen when the app is opened.

Pd: I use Processing 3.5.3 on Windows 10 Pro and my phone runs Android 5.1 Lollipop.
Sorry, I am beginner. I am not sure if there is an issue on Android mode version, Processing versions, Android API level or permissions.

Thank you very much :blush:

The easiest way is to start by following these instructions. If it works, your environment is set.

Just an additional note. This definition is probably not legal:

float minSize = 150 * displayDensity;
float maxSize = 300 * displayDensity;

The reason is that you are accessing screen dimensions outside setup or draw. The size of the sketch is defined right when setup is run. This is true in Processing java but not sure if it holds 100% in Processing Android.

Thank you @kfrajer. I have already followed the instructions. I am re ordering my code to fit those variables into draw.
