Android Question No debug error - beginning of crash, but Release Works

[mcqueccu]

I have this application I want to update. When I tried running the last stable version in RELEASE mode, it compiles and runs fine. But when I switch to DEBUG Mode, It just shows like it's about to run, then suddenly stops with no crash log. At times shows "------beginning of crash" but nothing follows.

*** Service (starter) Create ***
** Service (starter) Start **
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **

Why XUI version is 2.20 but online is 2.10?

Upload a small prokect showing the issue.

Hard to help without seeing any code and not able to reproduce anything

 

[Spavlyuk]

Does the debug toolbar appear after compilation ends? Sometimes I have an issue where it does not appear and I need to restart Windows to fix it.

Have you checked the unfiltered logs?

I get this from the unfiltered logs. Java.io.FileNotFoundException.

I can physically confirm the file exist in the files folder and in the DirAssets.
I clicked sync several times but still same error.

    pnlBeatingHeart.AddView(LottieViewHearts,0,0,pnlBeatingHeart.Width,pnlBeatingHeart.Height)

When I copied the files to the Dirinternal first, it works. I think there is a problem with the Lottie loading files from DirAssets

File.Copy(File.DirAssets,"loading_hearts.json",File.DirInternal,"loading_hearts.json")
Drawable.InitializeFromFile(File.DirInternal,"loading-hearts.json")

 

[DonManfred]

Drawable.InitializeFromFile(File.DirAssets,"loading-hearts.json")

copy them to dirinternal. THEN load them with lotty

 

[mcqueccu]

Yes its working from DirInternal. No crash

 

[Erel]

In debug mode the assets files are loaded from a "virtual" assets folders. This allows the IDE to make all kinds of optimizations.
It does require libraries to access the files using the B4A files methods.

You can disable this feature with:

#DebuggerForceStandardAssets: true

In the main module.

It looks like you were trying to load "loading-hearts.json" when in the assets it was "loading_hearts.json". You've probably corrected that by copying now.

 

[DonManfred]

It looks like you were trying to load "loading-hearts.json" when in the assets it was "loading_hearts.json".

look at the error. there is no - inside the filename. And even not in his Assets.

loading_hearts.json

The problem is that Lottie can not read Files from a B4A Assets which is a virtual path.
Solution is to copy the file to DirInternal first and let Lottie load them from there or to use

#DebuggerForceStandardAssets: true

 

[stevel05]

no - inside the filename. And even not in his Assets.

I was looking at the code that was posted:

Drawable.InitializeFromFile(File.DirAssets,"loading-hearts.json") _

But it's gone past that and now solved, so all is good.

 

[DonManfred]

But it's gone past that

ohh, i did not see that

 

[mcqueccu]

I was looking at the code that was posted:

Drawable.InitializeFromFile(File.DirAssets,"loading-hearts.json") _

But it's gone past that and now solved, so all is good.

The file names were correct at the time I was testing. As you know the IDE will even underline if the filename you specify does not exist in the files tab.
Sorry, I posted a different "Test Try and Error Response". I tried both the Underscore and Dash and No Dash/space just to be sure the error wasn't coming from that.
