Android Question compatible issues with Amazon or Kindle 2013 and up

[Markos]

Any known compatible issues with Amazon or Kindle 2013 and up?

My App fails on those devices in Amazon verification tests

They should send you a video of the failures so that you can see. Mine started failing due to Google Services - they don't like those being used!! e.g. Maps + Navigation - well actually mine was using an older version of the services. I updated this and also do a check for the existence of them - but you can't indicate that Users should install them. Then they passed validation.

I recall something about ringtones?

#ExcludeClasses: .games, .drive, .map, .fitness, .wearable, .measurement, .cast, .auth, .nearby
#ExcludeClasses: .tagmanager, .wallet, .plus, .vision, .gcm, anywheresoftware.b4a.phone.RingtoneManager

So I add most of the above to Amazon Appstore apps.

Thanx a mil I will try excluding those classes or libraries in case some are added by default.

I have no services used for my App but good to keep in mind. They didnt include a video to illustrate the issue, they only said App closes after launch no error msg or anything. Oddly enough the fire and kindl rrom 2012 or less passes its the 2013 onwards has the issue.

Maybe the emulator for kindle will help proof check faster rather than wait a day or 2 to see the failure

I tried and still on Kindle Fire my App bootsup and after the page/activity is finished drawing the App crashes. The last command in the activity is executed properly so I don't know what is causing the crash.

Any Ideas?

Issue is a crash after startip on kindle tests for models 2013 and up.

The only difference to my Apps that pass is two libraries

Randomaccess and Dialogs libraries. They were fine with earlier versions of B4A and the libraries. My question is could these newer version be the cause for the failure and if so is there a work around to. Ypass this incompatibility?

Again the App closes right after the Activity is completed and the screen visual objects and drawn successfully.

Please help if anyone can lend some further guidance

You should post the error message from the logs.

Hi Erel

Thanks I am attaching the log from Amazon. The line with 'Hang Detect' is where the crash occurs according to Amazon. The complete log file is 1.3mb large so I did an extract just prior to the crash to the end of the log for your kind reference.

Hope this is useful to help determine the root cause
