Android Question B4XInputTemplate crashes if setting Passwordmode True

[CaStar]

Mysterious problem with Passwordmode (B4A 11.50).
If setting Passwordmode to True for B4XInputtemplate like this:

DialogInput.Initialize
Dim et As EditText = DialogInput.TextField1
et.PasswordMode = True
et.TextColor = xui.Color_Yellow
et.Gravity = Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL

the application crashes showing this message:

Using this lines of code (Passwordmode commented out):

DialogInput.Initialize
Dim et As EditText = DialogInput.TextField1
' et.PasswordMode = True
et.TextColor = xui.Color_Yellow
et.Gravity = Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL

it works.

How can I use Passwordmode True without crashing my APP?

The fact that you see this dialog means that you removed the starter service. This is a mistake.

1. Please use [code]code here...[/code] tags when posting code.
2. Please post the error message from the logs.

Yes, there was a missing service start because of this is an old Application. But the password problem remains existing.

I wrote a test application with two buttons. Button 1 = "Enter text", Button 2 = "Enter password". Using Button 1 first, everything works fine. Using Button 2 first the app crashes.

This is the crash log:

I built a test B4xpage app and everything works as expected without the problem you described.

Private Sub B4XPage_Created (Root1 As B4XView)
    Root = Root1
    Root.LoadLayout("MainPage")
    Dialog.Initialize(Root)
    inputTemlate.Initialize
    Dim et As EditText = inputTemlate.TextField1
    et.PasswordMode = True
    
    et.TextColor = xui.Color_Yellow
    et.Gravity = Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL
    
    Wait For(Dialog.ShowTemplate(inputTemlate, "Yes", "No", ""))complete(intResult As Int)
    If intResult<>xui.DialogResponse_Positive Then
        Return
    End If
    
    Log(inputTemlate.Text)
End Sub
