Ok about 2 months ago the one and only GoNorthWest helped me launch my very first Android app from BT. "By the way GNW is a BT genius", back to the issues. I got several issues for users right away when the app first launched telling me that parts of the app would not load. I started with a tabbed layout and had over 25 menu item so i switched to a button layout to keep the app from having to load all the screen menus and images at start up which seemed to fix the start up force close errors I was receiving. Since the launch I have received an error here and there, but this past few weeks it is over and over again. Here are a few errors I am receiving listed below. I want to figure out a solution to these issues. The most recent user tells me that half the app is working and half the screens don't. Then I have a buddy that has the Droid app and tells me that everything works great. I don't have much hair left but i might go bald when I pull the rest out! All my IOS app runs like a champ! No issues. Why? Why?

GoNorthWest buzztouch Evangelist Posts: 8197 Reg: Jun 24, 2011 Oro Valley, AZ 1,000,000	04/30/12 09:27 PM (12 years ago) Hey Tony, Android is such a pain in the butt! I'm half tempted to never develop another app for Android until they make it work better! The problem, I think, revolves around the many different versions of Android that people are running, along with the many different hardware platforms. It surprises me that it works at all sometimes! Wish I had an answer for you, my man! Gonna keep watching this post to hopefully learn the solution. Mark Comments Hey Tony, Android is such a pain in the butt!

I'm creating an app (IOS and android)with about a dozen menu items. Now I'm worried, maybe I should forget about android with v1.5. Comments Do you think the number of menu items caused the problem?

Paul Rogers Android Fan Posts: 2524 Reg: May 30, 2011 UK 35,740	05/01/12 04:42 AM (12 years ago) This looks like it could be a bug/oversight in the android code itself: http://dimitar.me/android-displaying-dialogs-from-background-threads/ http://daniel-codes.blogspot.co.uk/2009/12/activities-and-dialogs.html and many others... I've seen a few fixes suggested, maybe a fix could be added to BT core to prevent it if google aren't going to do anything.
