Android Question java.lang.RunTimeExep - ImageView not initialized

[Arf]

Hi,
I've got a problem that has just started happening since I changed device to Samsung galaxy S3.
I have succesfully ran this project many times on this device, so not sure why it's started now.
Everything is fine on my Nexus 7.

So when I enter one of my activities and load the layout, I get this error:
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Object should first be initialized (ImageView).

What could possible be causing this?

 

[Arf]

To add - problem occurs in DEBUG, seems to run OK in RELEASE.

 

[Arf]

Still totally stuck on this. I've tried to change the image file first loaded in the designer to a few different images, this has no effect.
the original image is only 1.8MB so memory problem seems unlikely.

 

[Arf]

I see in one of the lines:
at anywheresoftware.b4a.keywords.LayoutBuilder.loadLayout(LayoutBuilder.java:166)
there seems to be a file called "LayoutBuilder.java" referenced.
A search of my HDD with a search shows that this file is completely absent from my PC, could that have anything to do with it?

No.

Note that the file size is not important. Only the image dimensions are important (width * height).

Can you upload your project?

 

[Arf]

Thanks Erel.
I can't make the project publically accessible, so I'll send a dropbox link via in a moment.

 

[Erel]

It works fine here. I tested it on Nexus 5X. You need to check the unfiltered logs (in USB debug mode) and see whether there is any relevant information.

My guess is that the device is running out of memory. Each of the large bitmaps will take about 8mb of memory. Try to resize the images and see whether it helps.

 

[Arf]

Thanks Erel, much appreciated.

I resized the graph images to 50% (now 634x745), but still encounter the same error on this galaxy S3 phone. This time I captured unfiltered logs and debugged via USB, I shall paste in the relevant section below. Error loading bitmap.. is it clear from the log that is still a memory problem?

[An Schi]

I can't help you with the error - but as long as you are waiting for someone elses reply, i suggest something more radical:
Resize the original image to something like 50x50 and see if it works then.

 

[Arf]

Good idea - I resized to 63x75, and still the same problem :-(

so probably not a memory issue then, but what else could it be? The bitmap can't be corrupted, it works on all other devices (and this device when not in DEBUG mode).

 

[Arf]

Would there be any advantage in changing the image type to reduce any image processing in the rendering?
Would have thought not, bitmap already requires the least amount of decrypting, I think.

 

[strat]

Did you logged Imageview's width and height after loaded bitmap. How it changes when you loaded bitmap?

 

[Arf]

The imageview is set to a portion of screen area by the designer script, and the bitmap is loaded up in FILL mode - so should stretch or shrink to fill the imageview.
I know it all works fine as I've tested the project on loads of devices, it even works on this problematical phone - just not when in DEBUG mode.
Works fine on all other devices in DEBUG..

 

[Erel]

Try this:
1. Uninstall the app from the problematic device.
2. Clean project (Ctrl + P).
3. Run it again.

 

[Arf]

I tried that frew times this morning, still the same error.
I've tried using B4A Bridge as well as B4A Bridge Plus as well as USB debugging.
I've attached the whole unfiltered log from the USB debug attempt. Not sure what else I can try.

 

[Erel]

If it only happens in debug mode on one specific device then I think that you can ignore it.
