Android Question Application Stopped

[marcel]

Hi,

Even though I have implemented the Starter Service I got sometimes the error message dialog "<name application> Stopped" The normal error handler seems to work correctly but in the case the dialog appears it doesn't work. How can I find the error causing this? It is not reproducible and I get this also from users. Often when they play with another application and my app is running in the background.

Could this be a Service? I have a Location Monitor Service and a Update Servers that pushes the GPS location to a server.

Any suggestions?

Hard to say without seeing any logs. Aren't there any reports (Play Store)?

In one case we had a Problem caused by another app using the same Service Name by Chance. Try to change it to a unique one at a first step (better: get the logs).

No, there is no logging in the play store?!? I hoped the general error handler picked it up.

If you are able to reproduce it locally then you can check the logs. There must be an error message there.

 

[marcel]

What is the best way to check the logs?

 

[Erel]

Enable USB debug mode and connect to the device with a usb cable (without B4A-Bridge).

 

[marcel]

Ok, Done this but I do not see the error back on the B4A Logs window?

 

[Erel]

Are you able to see the logs at all? There must be an error message if the application crashes. Check the unfiltered logs as well.

 

[marcel]

Yes, but i didn't check the unfiltered one. Will do that, but it is hard to reproduce. It just happend sometimes...

This is the error I found in the logging:

Timeout executing service: ServiceRecord{3273b309 u0 com.yazula.android/.update}
Crashing app skipping ANR: ProcessRecord{d97cba9 24224:com.yazula.android/u0a217} Executing service com.yazula.android/.update

The only thing I understand that the Service Timeout?

 

[Erel]

Is 'update' a service in your app? Can you post its code?

 

[marcel]

Yeah and I also find the code that causes the problem and fixed it. I had a relation to another activity the already closed was. I should move some code to the starter service as this one is always active correct? If all activities and services will close then the starter will closed as last?

 

[Erel]

I should move some code to the starter service as this one is always active correct?

Yes.

If all activities and services will close then the starter will closed as last?

The process with the service will be killed at some point when your app is in the background.
