B4J Question Missing Components when running on MAC?

[Alberto Iglesias]

Somebody knows if when running an app created by B4J on a MAC need install something else?

Because the same .jar running on Windows, You can see every components (button, listview, images, etc) and when running on a Mac this components not showing.

Look the screenshots with the same .jar running on both OS (windows and mac)

My sample is attach in this post.....

Look for the form method setformstyle change it and see if that was the issue.

 

[Erel]

The issue with SetFormStyle was related to Windows 10 and it was fixed internally so it is probably something else.

Run your app from the terminal with java -jar and check the logs.

I tried updated CCSUTIL, change the setformstyle, and when I try to get the logs, I got this:

Which version of Java is installed?

java -version

 

[ThRuST]

Update Java to the latest version. I use a PC and compiles the JAR file then I copy it over to dropbox and can install it from my Mac from there.
Works perfectly.

 

[Alberto Iglesias]

First I install the version 8

192:~ iglesias$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_171"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_171-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.171-b11, mixed mode)
192:~ iglesias$

after that, I tried with latest version (10)

192:~ iglesias$ java -version
java version "10.0.1" 2018-04-17
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 18.3 (build 10.0.1+10)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 18.3 (build 10.0.1+10, mixed mode)
192:~ iglesias$

and still the same!

Don't show any components....

 

[Alberto Iglesias]

any solutions for this problem????

I already tried to uninstall and install the versions od JDK 7,8,9 and 10....

 

[ThRuST]

Can you compile your project on a PC and move it over to your Mac? I believe this is a vital part of tracking the error you experience.
Is it the same on another Mac? have someone compile your code on another machine. Then post the outcome of your tests.
You have to do such experiments to locate the problem. Does it work with other JAR applications found in the forum? good luck.

 

[Alberto Iglesias]

Yes, I tried this before and other MAC works, with the same Java version.

The jar is correct and working, but I don't know how the problem with this another mac os.

Is updated, I tried a lot of versions and still not working

 

[Daestrum]

Could it be related to this problem

[ThRuST]

You mean it worked with another operating system? It might be related to Mac OS High Sierra? Never tried that I use OSX El Capitan. It works fine with B4J v601 and Java v9.0.4.
You might want to try that just to make sure it work (since it works fine for me).

 

[ThRuST]

If it is related to java.awt.Toolkit then perhaps Erel can give you the answer if B4J uses that. You might want to go with my config since I don't have this problem.
Note that I compile on a PC and run it on a Mac.. works with no errors.

 

[Alberto Iglesias]

I tried to put right now:

   Dim jo,tk As JavaObject
   jo.InitializeStatic("java.awt.Toolkit")
   tk = jo.runMethod("getDefaultToolkit",Null)

still not working...

I have two MAC HIGH SIERRA, one of them works, another one no. and have the same JDK, OS version

 

[ThRuST]

What hardware specs is it in the Mac that doesn't run B4J apps?

 

[ThRuST]

It might even be a driver problem. Some conflict check hardware status.

 

[Alberto Iglesias]

Its in a VMWARE based. But the question is: Why works with all programs, including XCODE, compiling for iOS directly.

I thing is something wrong with JAVA, not with machine

 

[ThRuST]

Might be easier to just reinstall with OSX El Capitan. Try that then post your outcome.

 

[ThRuST]

Or VMWARE conflict?

 

[Alberto Iglesias]

really? I will create another machine with new one
