Problem with preferenceactivity after updating to 2.30

[qle]

Hi,
I have been using preferenceactivity with out problem for quite a while.

But since upgrading to 2.30, new projects get error

android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class {anywheresoftware.b4a.samples.preferenceactivity/anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.preferenceactivity}; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?

If i download the tutorial at
http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4andr...orials/10608-preferenceactivity-tutorial.html

It will work, but if i toggle the Project - "Do Not Overwrite Manifest File"
It will then fail with the above error.

And i even if i add

AddApplicationText(<activity android:name="anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.preferenceactivity"/>)

It does not fix the problem.

Any advice is appreciated.

Lee.

Project - "Do Not Overwrite Manifest File"

Do not use this option. It is only kept for backwards compatibility.

Make sure that AndroidManifest.xml is not read only. If it doesn't work then please post the complete text in the compilation window.

If i download the sample tutorial then the option is 'ticked' by default, i can compile the sample from the tutorial and it works.

But if i create a new project and use the Manifest Editor as recommend to add the line

AddApplicationText(<activity android:name="anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.preferenceactivity"/>)

It does not seem to work.

So even if i create a new project, and copy paste the code from 'Main' in the tutorial and add the above line using the Manifest editor, it still does not work.

Can you upload your project (File - Export as zip)?

Project attached
(this is simply the tutorial code cut and pasted into a new project)

Thank you Erel.

You have added:

AddApplicationText(<Activity android:name="anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.preferenceactivity"/>)

It should be:

AddApplicationText(<activity android:name="anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.preferenceactivity"/>)

Thank you Erel,

It was a cut and paste from the tutorial page.
http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4andr...orials/10608-preferenceactivity-tutorial.html


The page has
...<activity android:...

Thank you for your time and help!

edit: For what ever reason, its working fine this morning with either line using the manifest editor to edit, strange, but happy its back working!

Lee.

The tutorial code is correct.
