Android Question My app crashes

[Baris Karadeniz]

My app crashes after working some time. I couldn't find why it crashes. Is there anyone who can help me? I can send my app.

Hi Baris. We are not able to test your app for hours ('till the app crashes). It's abolutely necessary that you learn how to debug your apps. Of course we help with errors you can't fix on your own

For sure there is a log when it crashes. So please check it first (uncheck filtered logs) and see. Run it in debug or get the logs in Release by setting

#BridgeLogger: True

(Update the B4A Bridge to the newest version)

 

[Baris Karadeniz]

There is no crash in debug mode. There is a crash in release mode. Where should I write #BridgeLogger: True ?

It sounds like a memory issue.
What is it for an app?

If u put this line to the manifest it may solve your problem

SetApplicationAttribute(android:largeHeap,"true")

BUT this is not the right way to solve the problem you should find the reason why your app consume a lot of memory and try to fix it.

Where you want but is good practise put this in first line module Main of course:

#Region  Project Attributes
    #ApplicationLabel: B4A Example
    #VersionCode: 1
    #VersionName:
    'SupportedOrientations possible values: unspecified, landscape or portrait.
    #SupportedOrientations: unspecified
    #CanInstallToExternalStorage: False
#End Region

#Region  Activity Attributes
    #FullScreen: False
    #IncludeTitle: True
#End Region


#BridgeLogger: True

Sub Process_Globals
    'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
    'These variables can be accessed from all modules.

End Sub

My app is for gps. It sends information to the server. It uses camera and webwiew. My app is given attached.

If you don't see the logs in release mode with #BridgeLogger then you need to switch to USB debug mode (ADB).

Here is the log. I think crash occurs at; ** Service (starter) Create **



** Service (starter) Start **
** Service (starter) Start **

 

[tigrot]

Are u starting starter somewhere? Seems a loop.

 

[Baris Karadeniz]

Yes I start starter. You can see the codes below;

Sub BtnSystemOnOff_CheckedChange(Checked As Boolean)
    If TextFieldimei.Text.Length = 15 Then
        If Starter.GPS1.GPSEnabled = True Then
            If BtnSystemOnOff.Checked = True Then   
                BtnSystemOnOff.Color = Colors.Green
                systemon = True
                StartService(Starter)
                Event = ""
            Else
                BtnSystemOnOff.Color = Colors.Red
                systemon = False
                StopService(Starter)           
            End If
        Else
            Msgbox(lblgpstextdisable, warningtitle1)
        End If
    Else
        Msgbox(warning1, warningtitle1)
    End If
End Sub

 

[Erel]

You should never start or stop the Starter service.

 

[Baris Karadeniz]

Where should I write the code below?

StartServiceAt("", DateTime.Now + 6 * DateTime.TicksPerSecond, True)

 

[Erel]

Use a different service for this. The starter server should never be explicitly started.

BTW, I've removed most of the logs text. It makes this thread unreadable. It is better to post such logs as a text file.

 

[Baris Karadeniz]

Which service can I use instead of StartServiceAt?

 

[Erel]

Any service you like: Project - Add New Module - Service Module.

 

[DonManfred]

Any other than the starter service.

I made this error just a few months ago, so I have learnt this rule by myself: never "disturb" a running Starter service!

How did you solve this problem?

 

[DonManfred]

How did you solve this problem?

Dont start or Stop the starter-Service. Most probably you should use another service if you need to restart/start/stop it

 

[Baris Karadeniz]

I added new service module named as "Starter2". I wrote the code below (StartServiceAt ....) into Starter2;

#Region  Service Attributes
    #StartAtBoot: False
   
#End Region

Sub Process_Globals
    'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
    'These variables can be accessed from all modules.

End Sub

Sub Service_Create

End Sub

Sub Service_Start (StartingIntent As Intent)
    StartServiceAt(Starter, DateTime.Now + 6 * DateTime.TicksPerSecond, True)
End Sub

Sub Service_Destroy

End Sub

To start the "Starter2" I wrote the code below into the Main;

ub BtnSystemOnOff_CheckedChange(Checked As Boolean)
    If TextFieldimei.Text.Length = 15 Then
        If Starter.GPS1.GPSEnabled = True Then
            If BtnSystemOnOff.Checked = True Then   
                BtnSystemOnOff.Color = Colors.Green
                systemon = True
                StartService(Starter2)
                Event = ""
            Else
                BtnSystemOnOff.Color = Colors.Red
                systemon = False
                StopService(Starter2)           
            End If
        Else
            Msgbox(lblgpstextdisable, warningtitle1)
        End If
    Else
        Msgbox(warning1, warningtitle1)
    End If
End Sub

But it doesn't work.
