Android Question JSch : null object reference

[DRU]

Hi all,

I try this SFTP library with a very little piece of code.


I initialize like this in activity_create

If FirstTime Then
        sftp1.Initialize("sftp1", "USER", "PASSWORD", "HOST", 22)
        sftp1.SetKnownHostsStore(File.DirInternal, "hosts.txt")
        End If

i send a command like this

sftp1.GetCurrentPath

Callback

Sub sftp1_CommandCompleted(Command As String, Success As Boolean, Reply As String)
    Log(Success)
    If Success Then
        ToastMessageShow(Command,False)
        ToastMessageShow(Reply,False)
        Else
        Log(LastException.Message)
            End If
End Sub

But i get this error:
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String com.jcraft.jsch.ChannelSftp.pwd()' on a null object reference

My credentials are ok, i have tested them with a sftp client.

Have i idea ?
Thank's for your help

Can you post the full error message from the logs?

Which line causes this error?

Are you handling the PromptYesNo event?

I've removed the password from the code.

Please try to reproduce it in a new project, without the database and send it to [email protected]

 

[Erel]

I've tested your project.

If you check the unfiltered logs you will see this link:
Unresolved exception class when finding catch block: org.ietf.jgss.GSSException

Something in your server configuration is not supported by Android OS. The internal library, which is not an Android library, tries to create an exception and fails as the exception type is not available in Android.

If I change your server parameters to a server of mine then it works properly.

I thought that we could get the actual error by running it in B4J. However it works properly (with your server) from B4J. I guess that it has something to do with the cipher protocol.

Thank you very much Erel, for the time you spent for me.
You provide me a very important information. I will try to get some technical detail about this. Hope i'll be able to share a solution with B4x community.
