Android Question Error: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

[slugger]

Hi,

in the logs panel I have seen the following error:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: length=12; index=-1

I have 2 problems with that:

1. it seems to appear randomly from time to time, I haven't been able to reproduce it
2. that is the only red line showing up in the Logs panel, usually I get a bunch of red lines with an indication of the line of code which generates the error, in this case I get only that single line.

I use the IDE in Debug (legacy) mode.

My app seems to run fine, I haven't had any crashes nor unexpected breakpoints in the IDE but I'd still like to get rid of that error message.

Any hints on how I can track down the line that generates that error?


Thank you in advance.

Is this the full error message?

 

[slugger]

Hi Erel,

exactly, that's all I see.

This is a sequential extract of what I read on the Logs tab:

** Activity (main) Pause, UserClosed = true **
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: length=12; index=-1
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
** Activity (main) Resume **

Nothing in the middle, just that line.

I don't get any info on the line where the error is generated, not even a hint on what component is causing the error message to show up.

Are you using Try / Catch somewhere and printing the error?
Have you checked the unfiltered logs?

It is possible that this error happens inside a library which catches it.

Are you using Try / Catch somewhere and printing the error?

No, all my Try - Catch blocks end like this:

        Catch
            Log("Error 2: "&LastException.Message)
            generalError=True   
        End Try

Have you checked the unfiltered logs?

I haven't thought about that, next time I'll see the error I'll uncheck the Filter box.

It is possible that this error happens inside a library which catches it.

I hope it's nothing serious, as I said it seems it hasn't created problems to my program so far.

I know that message, too. So far I ignored it because it shows up randomly. Will post it here next time.

I've been noticing it lately also, however, I largely ignore it. When I uncheck the Filter box on the Logs tab, it still only shows java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: length=12; index=-1 with nothing else.

Could it be something to do with Months? The length of the array is 12, seemingly in both cases, but the index has gone past that...

I haven't seen this error, but I haven't been doing that much B4A development in the past 2-3 months.

What version of B4A are people seeing this in? The latest one?

 

[KMatle]

I know that, too. It occurs very randomly when I use the rapid debugger. I have 2 real devices I switch between whe I test. The I just start compiling again. No big deal.

 

[KMatle]

Had the little "error" a few minutes ago. It's in rapid debug and when you add/change some lines to the code while the debugger is "running". Pressing the restart button then sometimes causes it.

Maybe new lines are not updated while restarting (example: before 20 and after 23. The 3 new lines are not seen yet but addressed = out of bounds)
