Widget disappearing when building apk
Hello, i am currently developing my first unreal engine meta quest project with unreal engine 5.5 for meta quest 3. In this project i am using a widget to display some text. When i debug this game with the meta horizon link, everything works perfectly. However when i built it as an apk, the widget disappears, and i only see the passthrough mode. what could be the problem? it looks in the editor like this
UE DEBUGGING Advice
Looking for some advice on how to Debug my standalone game. I have my game (UE 5.5.4) that until recently was compiling with no problems and the build was working on my headset. It recently stopped working completely and crashes as soon as the app starts on the headset. I tried migrating my project to a fresh install and same result. I have been trying to debug the problem but struggling to work out what tool I need to use. Have tried using the Meta Dev App/Device Logs but I cannot see what exactly in the warnings is triggering the crash when the app starts. As far as I can see nothing specific to my game is flagged in the warnings. If I run the app in UE using the Meta simulator it runs fine. If I run it via VR PREVIEW/PIE it runs fine. If I change the game level and instance to the standard VR template level and Game Instance - I can get the VR template level to load in headset so I know that building/compiling/Android settings are working in theory Can anyone give me any pointers on tips/tricks/tools to debugging problems in my UE blueprints from a standalone build in headset?36Views0likes0CommentsHow to increase MaxUObjects for Android?
Working with UE 5.3.2 I want to increase the MaxUObjectsInGame for an Android device. I already added a Project/Config/Android/DefaultAndroidEngine.ini where I set gc.MaxObjectsInGame and gc.MaxObjectsInProgram. I also looked into calling FUObjectArray::AllocateObjectPool() but I do not know if there is a correct time in my project to do that. The earliest time to do that that I can think of is GameInstance::Init which is too late, since UObjects were already created. It fails at check(ObjObjects.Num() == 0);. Thank you.Solved86Views0likes2Comments
Controller driven hands don't trigger custom grab poses in Interaction SDK
Hello, in the Interaction SDK sample if I use controller driven hands and try to grab the mug I can pick up the mug by pressing the controller side button, but it just "sticks" to my hand and the custom grab poses are never triggered. Pure hand tracking does trigger the custom poses. Are custom grab poses supported for controller driven hands? I'm currently using the "Hands Only" procedural controller hand behavior on my VR pawn blueprint. I would like to grab objects while holding a controller, but still use the custom poses so the virtual hand wraps around the objects more naturally. I'm using a Quest 3 headset and Unreal 5.5 with the Meta interaction SDK plugin v77.Solved160Views0likes4Comments[Quest 3] Accessing Camera via Android Camera2 API - Process Succeeds but Image is Black
Hello everyone, I'm developing a native Android application (integrated with Unreal Engine) for the Meta Quest 3. My goal is to programmatically capture a still image from the passthrough camera using the standard Android Camera2 API. First, I want to emphasize that the standard, system-level Passthrough feature works perfectly in the headset. To be clear, I already have Passthrough enabled and working correctly inside my Unreal app. I can see the live camera feed, which confirms the basic functionality is there. My issue is specifically with capturing a still image programmatically. While my code executes without errors and saves a file, the resulting image is always completely black. I'm aware that this was a known limitation on older OS versions. However, I was under the impression this was resolved starting with software v67, based on the official documentation here: https://developers.meta.com/horizon/documentation/native/android/pca-native-documentation Given that my headset is on a much newer version, I'm struggling to understand what I'm still missing. Here's a summary of my setup and what I've confirmed: Android Manifest & Permissions: MyAndroidManifest.xmlis configured according to the documentation and includes all necessary features and permissions. I can confirm through logs that the user grants the runtime permissions (CAMERA and HEADSET_CAMERA) successfully. Here are the relevant entries from my manifest: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" /> <uses-permission android:name="horizonos.permission.HEADSET_CAMERA"/> <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera2.any" android:required="true"/> <uses-feature android:name="com.oculus.feature.PASSTHROUGH" android:required="true"/> Camera Discovery: I am using the standardCamera2API to find the correct passthrough camera device. This part of the code works perfectly—I successfully identify the camera ID by checking CameraCharacteristics for the Meta-specific metadata key (com.meta.extra_metadata.camera_source). The Problem: The Black Image My code successfully opens the camera, creates a capture session, captures an image, and saves a JPEG file. The entire process completes without any exceptions, and my native function receives a "success" code. However, the saved JPEG file is always completely black. My system version is: v79.1032 so as my per understanding of https://developers.meta.com/horizon/documentation/native/android/pca-native-documentation It should work My Java class which is called to save the image, hello method is invoked to capture the image: package com.jaszczurcompany.camerahelper; import android.Manifest; import android.app.Activity; import android.content.ContentValues; import android.content.pm.PackageManager; import android.graphics.ImageFormat; import android.graphics.SurfaceTexture; import android.hardware.camera2.*; import android.hardware.camera2.params.StreamConfigurationMap; import android.media.Image; import android.media.ImageReader; import android.os.Build; import android.os.Environment; import android.os.Handler; import android.os.HandlerThread; import android.provider.MediaStore; import android.util.Log; import android.util.Size; import android.view.Surface; import androidx.annotation.NonNull; import androidx.core.app.ActivityCompat; import androidx.core.content.ContextCompat; import java.io.OutputStream; import java.nio.ByteBuffer; import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.Collections; import java.util.Comparator; import java.util.Date; import java.util.Locale; import java.util.concurrent.CountDownLatch; import java.util.concurrent.Semaphore; import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit; import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger; public class CameraHelper { private static final String TAG = "FooTag"; // Zmieniono TAG, aby pasował do Twoich logów public static final int SUCCESS = 0; // ...

I am working on an application that requires the use of the microphone. However, if someone were to accidentally or purposely decline permissions, it seems it is no longer possible to request them again if "Save Preference" is checked (which it is by default). As a developer how am I supposed to gracefully handle this? If I call Request Android Permissions again, the OS Hands appear for a split second and the screen flickers black but, it immediately returns focus to the app without prompting the user for permissions again. Any suggestions to help solve this problem or workaround it? Obviously I can just force them to quit the game but, the main issue is that it will never allow me to request the permissions again and forces the user to go into the app permissions via the OS settings. Maybe this is the only way but seems pretty crappy from a user and developer perspective.179Views0likes6CommentsQuest 3 and Unreal 5.2/5.3 - Setup
