Android Question Fatal Message in Log

[JohnD]

I get the message below when I compile my app and it installs itself. I get it right after I try to uninstall it through Settings. It does not uninstall through settings. I have to do it through a menu option.

Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV) at 0x00000000 (code=1), thread 20235 (ackageinstaller)

Seems like the internal installer app crashes. Check the unfiltered logs. There might be more information.

 

[JohnD]

I checked the unfiltered logs. I couldn't make sense of them. Any ideas what I should do next?

 

[NJDude]

Post the contents of the unfiltered logs here.

 

[JohnD]

Unfiltered Log attached.

I see a Out Of Memory error prior to the "Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV) at 0x00000000 (code=1), thread 12176 (ackageinstaller)" error, have you compiled your app in DEBUG mode? it will stop at the offending line, also, when doing a logs dump, clear the current log before you start running the app so only the most current and relevant info is shown.

 

[JohnD]

Compiled in debug mode. Cleared the log. I gave you the full log from compile before because I thought it might be a compile time problem. It did not stop at the offending line in Debug mode. Log2.txt below.

 

[NJDude]

Ok, the error is Out Of Memory. What kind of device do you have?

 

[JohnD]

Samsung Galaxy SIII

 

[NJDude]

What kind of app is that? are you using lots of graphics? or maybe very large pictures?

 

[JohnD]

Pre-Algebra app. I'm only using the standard views that come with b4a. Buttons, spinners, no outside graphics.

 

[NJDude]

Is that a top secret app? can you upload your project here? (on the IDE click in FILE -> Export As ZIP)

 

[JohnD]

It's too big. Zip file size is 3.3meg. Upload limit is 512k.

 

[NJDude]

You can upload it HERE and post the link.

 

[JohnD]

I tried to upload it there wiki several times. It doesn't work. I says 100% complete then sends me to a blank download page. When I try to go to that download page it stays blank. There is no email of the file id to me. Can I just email the zip to you as an attachment?

 

[NJDude]

Well, the link works for me, you should see THIS after you uploaded the file, try again, if still doesn't work then I'll send you an email address.

 

[NJDude]

Ok, email your project to [Email removed]

I updated the SQLCipher lib as you instructed. I still get the
Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV) at 0x00000000 (code=1), thread 5766 (ackageinstaller)
This is preceeded by the out-of-memory error. Just for kicks I took SQLCipher out of the equation and just used the SQL lib. Same error when I try to uninstall the App from Settings, Applications. I think it might be a problem with the installer program in b4a. I'm considering uninstalling and reinstalling b4a. What are your thoughts on this?

 

[NJDude]

Then is something on your device, I have no issues whatsoever after I fixed the code.

I ran your code on a Nexus 7 (KitKat), EVO 4G LTE (Jelly Bean) and LG Optimus V (Froyo), no problem on any of them.

 

[JohnD]

Get a replacement phone then? Thanks for all of your help NJDude. I really owe you one...or several.
