Crash on http Job

[marcel]

Hi,

Finally I have found some errors where my application is crashing on. I am using the HTTPJob. I am using in JobDone something like:

If job.Success = True Then
If job.JobName="jds" Then
Log(job.GetString)
end if
end if

This results sometimes in:

httpjob_getstring2 (java line: 175)

which is this function:

'Returns the response as a string.
Public Sub GetString2(Encoding As String) As String
Dim tr As TextReader
tr.Initialize2(File.OpenInput(HttpUtils2Service.TempFolder, taskId), Encoding)
Dim res As String
res = tr.ReadAll
tr.Close
Return res
End Sub

I think this function should check if the file still exist or not?!? Correct?

Why not simply checking if the file exists?

if file.Exists ("yourDir","yourFile") =true then

Why should you leave another function do this check, when I don't see the reason why it should do this check?

Well, because it is a kind of "library" and in the next update this function will be overwritten. So this should be basicly implemented in the 'HttpUtils2 version 2.00 from Erel. Right?

I see your point. I never used httpUtils2, now I check it. Seems to me, that it had no reason to do the check, since file should exist.
How do you initialize your 'job'? I mean, what are you sending and requesting?

I do just a simple json transfer. I post to an url and get a simple json file back.

This works for 90% of the time just ok. But sometimes not and then I get this crash.

 

[Erel]

If Success is true then the file should exist. Can you post the JobDone sub?

 

[marcel]

Apperntly it doesn't sometimes?!?

It crashes on the line:

Dim res As String = job.GetString

Sub JobDone (job As HttpJob)
    Dim js As JSONParser
   Dim Map1 As Map
   Dim Jds As List
   Log("JobName = " & job.JobName & ", Success = " & job.Success)
   If job.Success = True Then
     Dim res As String = job.GetString
      If job.JobName="jds" Then
      js.Initialize(res)
      Map1 = js.NextObject
      Jds = Map1.Get("ListItems")
      Update.mtimestamp = Map1.Get("timestamp")
      For Each item In Jds
        ' dump to database
      Next
     Else If job.JobName="segs" Then
       Dim Segs As List
      js.Initialize(res)
      Map1 = js.NextObject
      Segs = Map1.Get("Segments")
      Update.segtimestamp = Map1.Get("timestamp")   
      For Each item In Segs
        'dump to database
      Next
     End If
   Else
      Log("Error: " & job.ErrorMessage)
      'ToastMessageShow("Error: " & job.ErrorMessage, True)
   End If
   job.Release
End Sub

Just wondering, when you receive the error, do you really get data from your server, or you have a blank response?

 

[thedesolatesoul]

I have got a hunch you have got 'job' defined elsewhere.
Can you track back the taskid of this job, and see if it is the one you expect to be executing?

 

[Erel]

Are you able to reproduce it? If yes then please send me the project by mail and I'll check it.

no, I get data. If not I have and http error.

No, unfortunatly not. This is the hard thing. It happens just once on my device. But I have 8 beta testers in the field that had a few crashes which tracked back to this point.

I do fire-up multiple jobs. Could that not be a problem that the same taskid pop-up in some situations

Nope, I did have defined it elsewhere.

 

[Erel]

Each job gets a new task id. No two jobs can get the same one.

 

[marcel]

Ok. Well I spend alsmost a day on it to find it but it very hard becuase it is also not reproducable. The trick with the file.exist is at least working...

 

[wolvo66]

I just hit exactly the same problem as marcel... This happens every time for me when I activate airplane mode and post data.
I can fix it with the fie.exist change to the httpJob file as described above, but then that introduces another problem that my app stops running when screen is off :/ (I have service with startForeground, notification icon shown etc and it ran fine even with screen off.... until I add the file.exist fix, then it stalls the app execution until screen is active)

Any ideas? I need the app to run long term and withstand loss of network connection

 

[Erel]

Can you post the error message and the code in JobDone?
