Android Question Error in starter Service - Rapid Debugger

[JTmartins]

I just started a new project and add a few lines of code to do some tests.

In Rapid Debug mode I always get this error, but in legacy debug or release, the project runs OK in the tablet.

Why wonder what is causing this error in this little piece of code.

I havent touched starter service and never had this before.

Many Thanks.

What is the size of gesboot.mp4? Can you upload the project?

Sorry for the delay in the reply Erel.

Never mind. I found the reason. It was related with a litle piece of code underneath the mentioned one, and that handled the imersive mode.

For some reason, with code for imersive mode, the rapid debugger always fails.

Many thanks for your concern.
