Android Question [SOLVED] My Parse B4A app stopped

[adrianstanescu85]

Hello

I have been long working on a B4A app and recently I've reinstalled everything i.e. Windows 10 and all. So I reinstalled B4A, Java JDK, JRE and the Android SDK, reloaded my projected and... everytime I recompile the app, when I try to lauch it, it crashes saying that it stopped.

What seems to be the probem? I've tried setting the Android SDK platorm to 17, reinstalled everything under Windows 8... no change. I've also loaded an older version of the B4A that I have completely saved...same problem.

connect your device with usb and look at the logs (maybe the unfiltered).

 

[adrianstanescu85]

I've tried that but I can't make sense of anything out of the unfiltered logs.

What's interesting though is that I can't even make the Debug (rapid) or Debug (legacy) compiling do anything, after it installs it breaks off just the same way as it does when compiling in Release (obfuscated) mode. It doesn't even output a thing on the filtered logs (under any compiling method), it just installs and crashes.

There must be an error message in the logs when the app crashes.

 

[adrianstanescu85]

I've connected my Note 3 by cable, and this is the only thing I get when compiling:

The next thing is a small notification message on the Note 3 screen saying the app stopped.

Are you connected with B4A-Bridge? If yes then the logs will only appear in debug mode. Also make sure to click on the Connect button in the logs pane.

 

[adrianstanescu85]

I connected through cable and pre-clicked the Connect button

 

[adrianstanescu85]

Is it normal for the debug application to crash as well when compiling in debug mode?

 

[adrianstanescu85]

I just ran this by B4A bridge too, clicked the Connect button, set the debug mode to Debug (legacy), and here is the log:

Installing file.
** Activity (main) Pause, UserClosed = false **
PackageAdded: package:smurd.sicad
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = false **
** Activity (main) Resume **
** Activity (main) Resume **

This is everything, the app crashed. It does just the same on any other phone...

The unfiltered logs are more difficult to read, but there may be useful info in them.

Here are the unfiltered logs:

Then the app crashes. That's all

Make sure that USB debug mode is enabled on your device, disconnect B4A-Bridge and run your app using the USB connection.

 

[adrianstanescu85]

The USB debug mode is enabled and also the verification for USB installed apps is disabled. I've disconnected the B4A bridge and ran everything through cable, the crash remains. The point is I haven't changed the code at all, not even the old versions work anymore. I was thinking something may be wrong with the Android SDK install or Java JRE/SDK, but what...?

 

[Erel]

It is not related to Java or the Android SDK.

Can you post the unfiltered logs?

 

[adrianstanescu85]

Sure, here they are! I cannot make sense of anything in there...

I can see this error:

Unable to create application anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.ParseObjectWrapper$ParseApplication: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x0

When reinstalling your computer, any chance you forgot to copy some files (resources) needed by the app?

 

[adrianstanescu85]

I have a folder with all my extra libraries, which I backed up entirely, and I have it just the way it was before.

 

[adrianstanescu85]

Problem solved! I saved everything on Dropbox before reinstalling, and the error appeared because the project uses the Parse library, which requires a READ ONLY .xml file under Objects/res/xml. The file read only attribute was not saved, so each time I compiled the project, any file in that folder would be erased.

I recreated the necessary res.xml file, set it to read only, and it works perfectly now!

Thank you!!
