Android Question Unfortunately "App Name" has Stopped

[iCAB]

Hello There

I am trying to display a notification message to the end user when a push notification message is received by the app
1. if the app is running in Foreground no issues
2. If the app is running in background no issues
Whoever if the user terminates the app using the task manager, upon receiving a notification message, I always get the following message displayed "Unfortunately "App Name" has Stopped" .

The code sets some global variables and executes the code below to display a notification for the user

   NotificationInfo.Initialize
   NotificationInfo.Icon = "icon"
   NotificationInfo.Light = True
   NotificationInfo.Sound = True
   NotificationInfo.Vibrate = True
   NotificationInfo.SetInfo("iAppName", strMessage, Main)
   NotificationInfo.Notify(1)

The icon and the message are displayed as expected.
Is there a way to suppress this message?

Thanks for your help

You should check the logs and post the error message.

Hi Erel

Here is what it captured

[Erel]

Check the signature of Service_Create. It should be:

Sub Service_Create

 

[iCAB]

I am not sure I fully understand what the signature mean in this case, but here is the code I am using

Sub Service_Create
   
End Sub

Sub Service_Start (StartingIntent As Intent)
    Select StartingIntent.Action
   
        Case "com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION"
            HandleRegistrationResult(StartingIntent)
           
        Case "com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE"
            MessageArrived(StartingIntent)
           
    End Select
End Sub

 

[Erel]

You should compile in release mode in this case as the process is killed and then restarted because of the push message.

 

[iCAB]

I definitely did try that (several times ) before I posted the issue I am facing.

 

[Erel]

You will not get this error in release mode. Maybe a different one.

 

[iCAB]

Hi Erel, Here is the error captured with release mode

[Erel]

The error happens in: filehandler._fh_setl_getsettingitem
You are accessing an uninitialized List.

You need to understand that the process was killed and restarted from the service. Activity_Create in the main code was not called.

Thanks Erel that solved my problem

I am new, sorry about this question but You wrote something about this message and believe me I tried a lot of things you wrote, but still I am living same problem, I can't start application with release compile.

When I compile in Debug (rapid) mode everything normal and application is working.

When I release the application, device says "Unfortunately "App Name" has Stopped". After Release compile the log window as this:

What is wrong, I can't understand. Can anyone helps me ?

Thanks in advance.

 

[Eksatech]

I solved the problem. It is interesting but If you declare a process variable and you didn't use it at the right of equal sign B4A see the variable isn't used ???

For Example:
if you declare : Dim UserID as Int at the Process Variables and use it in the code

UserID = 0, B4A says UserID isn't used, but if you equal it to another variable like: ProductID = UserID then for B4A no problem.

Why like that ?

 

[Erel]

It shouldn't matter where you assign the value. However this is not related to this thread so please start a new one.
