Hello together,

since I updated to v12.80 from v12.20, I'm unable to run a project which uses parts of this Barcode-Reader Example


I receive following Error:

Error:

in this Line:

B4X:
    detector = builder.RunMethod("build", Null)

Maybe someone has an Idea what happened here....

I have one Machine back, on which I use 12.20 - there everything works as expected

Also the example-project works without trouble on the 12.80 - System - but not my own project from 12.20

hopefully I have been able to explain what drives me crazy actually.

best regards
Herbert
 
Solution
I just checked your Manifest Again. Its missing the Google Play Macro


B4X:
AddApplicationText(<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.vision.DEPENDENCIES"
    android:value="barcode,,face" />
)
CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAnalytics.GooglePlayBase) '<-----This is missing from'

this is the manifest-content

B4X:
AddManifestText(
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="5" android:targetSdkVersion="33"/>
<supports-screens android:largeScreens="true"
    android:normalScreens="true"
    android:smallScreens="true"
    android:anyDensity="true"/>)
SetApplicationAttribute(android:usesCleartextTraffic, "true")   
SetApplicationAttribute(android:icon, "@drawable/icon")
SetApplicationAttribute(android:label, "$LABEL$")
CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, Themes.DarkTheme)
'End of default text.
AddApplicationText(<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.vision.DEPENDENCIES"
    android:value="barcode,,face" />
)
AddManifestText(<uses-permission
    android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
    android:maxSdkVersion="18" />
)

AddApplicationText(
  <provider
  android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
  android:authorities="$PACKAGE$.provider"
  android:exported="false"
  android:grantUriPermissions="true">
  <meta-data
  android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
  android:resource="@xml/provider_paths"/>
  </provider>
)
CreateResource(xml, provider_paths,
   <files-path name="name" path="shared" />
)

Without investigating your code. Please have a look into the log in your post #3, line 40.
Does this hint of the logger put some light into your problem?

I have just run the Example from the library you sited in post #1 and it works Okay using B4A 12.80

Have you also added the Additional Jar reference in the Main Module?
B4X:
#AdditionalJar: com.google.android.gms:play-services-vision

If Possible, upload a small project

Yes, the example runs also here in 12.80

and yes, '#AdditionalJar: com.google.android.gmslay-services-vision' is also included in my Main Module

I'm also unsure, whether the problem is caused by the google-vision component - but I have nothing more than the error-message from the B4A-IDE, which is caused in this Line

B4X:
    detector = builder.RunMethod("build", Null)

I have a machine running version 12.2 where everything works as expected but as I'm in need to work outside my office, i had to install 12.80 on my notebook and here I'm unable to work because of this error...

If theree a way to download 12.2 somewhere so that i can continue my work?

GREAT <3 - thank you - this was the reason

I don't know why it worked in 12.20 but I'm really happy that it works now again
