Android Question Failed to verify: java.lang.String

[angel_]

When trying to update an app (the last update was 10 months ago) and I get this error:

java.lang.VerifyError: Verifier rejected class com.my_app: java.lang.String com.my_app._my_method() failed to verify: java.lang.String com.my_app._my_method(): [0x268] Rejecting invocation, long or double parameter at index 0 is not a pair: 15 + 0. (declaration of 'com.my_app' appears in base.apk!classes2.dex)

Sub My_method
Dim MyData As Double = spnSpinner1.SelectedItem
....
End Sub

With ModuleDataArray.Initialize, it doesn't work

That's just my implementation of your class. You've got your own initialization somewhere else.
Or ModuleDataArray is a Code Module not a class.

Yes, I just tried in release mode and it work

We're getting somewhere. Try it with a sleep(50) as first line in MyMethod.
That should give spnSpinner1 time to load.

Yes, I added it to the module and called it from the starter but it still doesn't work

I had already tried with Sleep(50) before the call but the error appears before, the app does not start.

The only solution I see to make it work in debug mode is:

    Try
        Private MyData As Double = spnSpinner1.SelectedItem
    Catch
        Log(LastException)
    End Try

Lots of posts about working in debug, but not in release. Not many posts about the other way around.

I noticed that you have something like

Sub Process_Globals
    Public ArraySpinner As List = Array As String("15", "30", "45", "50", "75", "100", "112", "150")
End Sub

I seem to remember something about NOT using methods in Process_Globals, and that it is related to problems in Debug mode.

I never put complicated assignments in Globals. So I don't know if that is OK.
Try putting the assignment elsewhere.

It happened again in another sub

"Apparently" it is a problem in the conversion from String to Double while compiling the app, it does not always happen with a Spinner also with an EditText. If I comment out the lines where this conversion is done, the app compiles.

Any idea?

Since neither @agraham nor I can replicate the problem, our only suggestion is to start with a skeleton project and add code from your app
until the problem occurs. (see #15 and #17). Then whatever you added causes the problem.
