Android Question Starter Service causing crash

Shivito1 · Sep 6, 2017

When I add Starter service my app crash with the following.

B4X:

I am adding this service to an existing program.

If you are running in debug mode, you may have a breakpoint in either the Starter service_create sub or in a sub that is called from the starter Service_Create sub.
Delete the breakpoint and use "Tools > Clean Project" then re-run the app.

You can also run in Release mode or use "Tools > IDE Options > Legacy Debugger" to see if that makes a difference.

It is fine to put breakpoints in service_create.

Such errors might be related to code in Process_Globals doing something that it shouldn't.

My app will crash in Debug and Release. I am just reading your reply and will update later after I have tried the suggestions.

Try commenting out the call to "DisableStrictMode" to see if that helps.

Another suggestion is to put in Log() statements every few lines to see if you can narrow down the part of the code that is causing the problem. Start with the first and last lines just to confirm the problem is in this sub.

lol I'll try but I remember putting that in because something else was not working haha

DonManfred · Sep 6, 2017

Call the DisableStrictMode in Activity_create
Do the list initialisations in activity_create too.

Erel · Sep 6, 2017

Don't initialize anything in Process_Globals. Can you post the error message in release mode?

Okay, making progress

I'll probably open a new thread and list the issue and resolution but here is the new Error:

You are using b4a 7+?
If so then you are using the newer library?

For B4A 7 download Library from Post#8 (here)
