Android Question java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException when using StartServiceAt

[Michael2150]

I have a service that tries to sync events to a server. The service tries syncing it, but if an error occurs the service restarts a certain amount of time later. This only happens a set amount of times before the service gives up and then I use StartServiceAt to start a second service a much later time to try and restart the first service from the beginning trying to sync the events again.
For some unknown reason I get the error "java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 3, Size: 2" when trying to queue the second service to start.

Sub Process_Globals
    Public AlreadyQueuedToStart As Boolean = False 'This is used to check if the SyncFailedEvent is already queued to start
    Private RetryFailedTime As Int = 0.5 * DateTime.TicksPerMinute 'minutes  The time to wait before retrying to synced a failed event
End Sub

If Not(AlreadyQueuedToStart) Then
Log("Sync failed events queued to start")
StartServiceAtExact(SyncFailedEvents, DateTime.Now + RetryFailedTime ,True)
AlreadyQueuedToStart = True
End If

What might be the problem?

 

[OliverA]

Are you sure that line is causing the error?

 

[DonManfred]

What might be the problem?

Maybe not posting the relevant code.

I don´t see you are accessing a list or array which can raise such errors in the code you posted.

Start with posting the FULL ERROR

That is the whole sub with the line where the IDE says the Error occurs the full error is:

 

[Erel]

Please post the error as text, not screenshot.

 

[OliverA]

That is the whole sub with the line where the IDE says the Error occurs the full error is:

Is this in Debug or Release mode?

 

[Michael2150]

Is this in Debug or Release mode?

The error happens in both modes.. This is really confusing because I'm not really using lists except for the for each loop and the Map. When using a breakpoint at the if statement it runs through without any problems though.

 

[OliverA]

In release mode, when the exception occurs, the exception report (stack trace) will include the line in the syncevents.java file (the source that is produced by B4A in Objects\src\com\eureka\dispatchit folder) where the exception happens. Find the relevant line (for example in the screenshot above, it was line 407) and post it plus some lines above and below.
Note #1: don't post a screenshot, post the lines. Also, post the exception (to verify the line that is causing it).
Note #2: I may have a typo in my source location folder. Don't let that deter you in finding it.

 

[Michael2150]

Ah I see I ran it in release mode and got the error:

So I had a look at Java line 349 and found the for each loop

_attempts = "0";
//BA.debugLineNum = 51;BA.debugLine="If Not(RetryMap.ContainsKey(Key)) Then";
if (anywheresoftware.b4a.keywords.Common.Not(_retrymap.ContainsKey((Object)(_key)))) {
//BA.debugLineNum = 52;BA.debugLine="RetryMap.Put(Key,Attempts)";
_retrymap.Put((Object)(_key),(Object)(_attempts));
};
//BA.debugLineNum = 54;BA.debugLine="Attempts = RetryMap.Get(Key)";
_attempts = BA.ObjectToString(_retrymap.Get((Object)(_key)));
//BA.debugLineNum = 56;BA.debugLine="If  Attempts >= RetryLimit Then";
if ((double)(Double.parseDouble(_attempts))>=_retrylimit) {
//BA.debugLineNum = 57;BA.debugLine="LogColor($\"Event retry limit reached EventId:$";
anywheresoftware.b4a.keywords.Common.LogImpl("47536663",("Event retry limit reached EventId:"+anywheresoftware.b4a.keywords.Common.SmartStringFormatter("",(Object)(_event._id /*int*/ ))+""),anywheresoftware.b4a.keywords.Common.Colors.Red);

};
}else {

anywheresoftware.b4a.keywords.Common.LogImpl("47536674",("Try Sync: EventID: "+anywheresoftware.b4a.keywords.Common.SmartStringFormatter("",(Object)(_event._id /*int*/ ))+" attempt: "+anywheresoftware.b4a.keywords.Common.SmartStringFormatter("",_retrymap.Get((Object)(_key)))+""),anywheresoftware.b4a.keywords.Common.Colors.Magenta);

_api._createevent /*String*/ (_event);
//BA.debugLineNum = 70;BA.debugLine="AddOnMap(Event)";

};
}

The highlighted line is the line 349 the error message included. And i can now see it was the list I used.

For Each Event As WorkorderEvent In UnsyncedEvents

Are you modifying UnsyncedEvents in this For Each Loop? You can't do that. If you delete items of UnsyncedEvents during the For Each processing, you can cause an exception. You need to determine what you want to add/delete from UnsyncedEvents in the For Each loop and then do your additions/deletions outside of the For Each loop.

 

[Michael2150]

I think that might be the problem. It makes sense now that I think about it ? and I feel stupid. Ill try and fix it and let you know if it worked.

 

[Michael2150]

Yes that works perfectly now. Thank you for the help. I've actually never debugged using the Java code. But I'm glad I learned something new though.
