Android Question KitKat 4.4.2

[Douglas Farias]

Hello today i go buy my new smartphone MOTO G kitkat 4.4.2
now my questions about it *-*
I researched on some forums and found that kitkat is a problem for developers. it blocks access and cause some problems for developers.

Someone who already has already used one or can tell me what the difference is this latest version of android?

has really problems for developers, and what would they be? have you had any problems with KitKat?

Most of my devices are running KitKat, no problems at all.

 

[Douglas Farias]

no problems to save itens on root?

 

[NJDude]

Like I said above, I don't have any issues developing or using KitKat.

There are no problems with KitKat. I'm also using Android 4.4.2 as my "default" device and it works perfectly.

Hi, for the most part I haven't had any development problems that can't be resolved. At the moment however I have discovered that Activities do not start properly when a notification is pressed - the code worked fine on devices using 2.2, 2.3.6, and 4.1 but not on KitKat.
I am using a Moto G, but it appears that this is a problem on Nexus phones too.
The workaround suggested on some of the Java forums is -

suggested workaround is to cancel existing pending intent, or use PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT

but I don't know how to do that in B4A.

I'm mostly using a device running Android 4.4.2 for development and it is working perfectly.

It is true that there are new restrictions in Android 4.4 (SMS and SD card related). However these restrictions will affect your customers as well.

I'm running Android 4.4.2 on HTC One M8, I've recently created apps that use GPS, SD card & SMS & I haven't had any issues.

I have a KitKat tablet (4.4.2) irview and I cannot see any logs, filtered or un-filtered.
Is there a setting I need to change?
Thanks,

Are you using B4A-Bridge or USB debug mode?

You should create a new thread for your question because it is unrelated with the current thread. The thing to change is not always the same depending on the device. On one of my phones, I had to access a secret menu. The best thing to do is to search with Google.

B4a Bridge. v2.10
