Android Question Troubleshooting problem

[GuyBooth]

I'm having difficulty identifying a problem in my code. The error only shows up when I am using legacy debug, and probably 90% of the time. The other 10% the problem doesn't show. There is too much code to post the code itself, and some of it is asynchronous - so the messages I have logged that immediately precede the problem are not a good indicator of exactly where the problem is.

The log is as follows:

The app fails at the first "java.lang.RuntimeException. The common item in all the failures is that first line "ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: length=90; index=-1" which repeats three times in the log, and appears exactly like that every time I run the app. It looks like a string function indexing problem but I have been unable to identify it.

I don't know if it would help if I could look at the "... 9 more" lines or the "... 10 more lines."
Can anyone tell me how to look at those additional lines?
Does anyone have any insight into the debug messages based on their knowledge of java that might help identify what is the root cause?
How can I relate the line numbers (e.g. "java:965") to the actual line numbers in my code?

Any help would be appreciated ... this is driving me crazy!

Why don't you use the rapid debugger?

Are you running any code in a background thread? The debugger doesn't support it.

 

[GuyBooth]

When you say "Doesn't support it" does that mean the debugger may CAUSE it to crash?

I'm not specifically calling for code in the background. I AM running httputils2, AsyncStreamsText, Sockets and ServerSockets in foreground services.

 

[Erel]

httputils2, AsyncStreamsText, Sockets and ServerSockets

All of B4A standard libraries do not execute any B4A code in a background thread so they will not cause this problem.

They do execute native code in the background. But the event is raised on the main thread.

If you are using the Threading library then you will encounter this error.

 

[GuyBooth]

I'm not using the threading library.
As far as I can tell the problem is showing up while I am parsing the results from the AsyncStreamsText class attached to a ServerSocket.
But why only with the legacy debugger? Why only 90% of the time?
None of the items being "fed" to the parsing routine are 90 characters long, so why the reference to "length=90; index=-1"?

Also back to one of my original questions - how do I see the "... 9 more" lines or the "... 10 more lines." in the log?

You cannot see them and it will not help.

OK.

I do use the rapid debugger most of the time, but I still have the question of why the legacy debugger is showing an error and the rapid debugger is not?
Do I have a problem with my code, or is the legacy debugger itself causing a crash?

 

[Erel]

The error itself happens in the legacy debugger code. If it works with the rapid debugger and in release mode then you can ignore it.

 

[GuyBooth]

Thank you Erel, that answers my questions.
