Android App Crash on Some Devices

[MikeMon 12]

Hi

 

I have an issue with an app crashing on some Android devices. The devices on which the app crashes are some Android 9 devices; although on other Android 9 devices the app works fine. The crash happens ONLY when the app is connected to the internet. When I disable the Wi-Fi, it doesn't crash. To test it, I run the app with the Wi-Fi disabled, it starts up fine. While the app is running I enable the Wi-Fi and the app crashes after a couple of seconds without me doing anything.

 

I've attached the Android log file if anyone could help me point out where the problem is.

Does your app perform any network calls at all? If your package is cy.com.wagamama.ordercy, the log line at 12-05 18:34:30.888 seems to indicate it is doing at least something network related, and appears to be the source of the crash.

HI Dave

 

Thank you for your answer.

 

Yes. The package is cy.com.wagamama.ordercy. The app does use network to communicate with a datasnap server, but even if I disable all network traffic, it is still crashing during startup.

 

I've attached a second log file without any datasnap calls.

This line is interesting:

Because android.arch.lifecycle.LifecycleOwner has long been deprecated:

 

  https://developer.android.com/reference/android/arch/lifecycle/LifecycleOwner

 

Is there perhaps some 3rd party library you're using that's expecting this class to be present? It may be present on the devices (for compatibility) that your app works on. Not sure if this is the root cause of your problem, but it might be worth looking at.

Hi Dave

 

The exception seems to be different everytime. I can't seem to figure out what the problem is. It works on some Android Pie devices and not on others. I've attached another log file that shows different entries leading to the crash.

And then there was light!!

 

Dave, this fixed the issue. Thank you very much for all the help!!

 

I added the below line to the <application> tag of the project's AndroidManifest.xml.

 

<uses-library android:name="org.apache.http.legacy" android:required="false" />
