Greetings. I am using the AT53 video player in my app and when I'm trying to view the videos while debugging on an Android device I get an error message that says "Unfortunately My App has stopped." Below is the LogCat output for this event. Has anyone had a similar issue? Is there a way around this? Does this mean that the videos will not play when the app is installed from the marketplace? 08-27 10:40:53.281: W/ZZ(3031): WB_screen_menuImage:handleItemTap loads screen with itemId:

Have you tried it on a device? Did you download the sample video to rule out conversion problems? I don't think the videos in my App played on the emulator but worked fine on a device. The other problem I had with video was the mp4 I used for iOS did not work on my android phone. Selected an Android codex in Media Encoder and it worked fine. Good luck. Mike

I agree with @0z2000tv! Also what's the name of your images? Make sure they are lowercase and no special characters. LA

Thank you. I am testing it on an actual device with plenty of RAM and memory and the file names are all formatted in the particular way of Android, but I think it may be the .mp4 file type incompatibility. I'm going to give that a try and will do a follow up post (hopefully with the solution).

If any app does not work properly on your emulator then it surely not work on any device in most of the case given emulator supports all the features of real device. So if you upload the apk file of an app that you tested on emulator which did not work on emulator will surely be of no use. The problem of crashing of your app is not because of the at53 plugin but because of images that you have included in your project. Your app is crashing because your app is out of memory for the device to handle. It means you have added lot of bitmap images which makes it hard to the device memory to handle it and thats the reason it crashes. Check out the following lines of your error logs--- --- 08-27 10:40:58.086: E/dalvikvm(3031): Out of memory: Heap Size=106759KB, Allocated=93847KB, Limit=196608KB and --- 08-27 10:40:58.086: E/AndroidRuntime(3031): java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: (Heap Size=106759KB, Allocated=93847KB) The above error logs show that your app has either lot of images in it or the images in your app are of large size. The only solution is to either reduce the size of your images by compressing those images or to refer those images from url. Hope you get what i am saying here and this solves your problem.

Do you have some very hi res images in wb_menu_image and at_video player? You're getting out of memory errors from images. (although that might be a symptom rather than a cause). Try reducing the file size of the images. 8bit, 128 color, flattened png's are a safe-ish bet. You can use something like http://tinypng.org/ to crunch images.

What Sandeep said! I'm too slow..

What file types are ok for Android?

png and jpg are ok. png have the best file compression and are usually first choice.

Hello @raveyd and @sandeep. Just to clarify, the app is in fact running on a new device with plenty of memory and storage, so it's surprising to me that the size of the app is the culprit. I'm also a little confused by the fact that this app with all it's component images runs perfectly on Apple devices with less memory than the Android device I'm currently running, is this an Android-specific issue? I'm going to try TinyPNG and see how that goes. Thanks for the advice. I appreciate your feedback as I continue to uncover the complexities of these operating systems.

Hi @nmcmap, yes it's Android specific. It's to do with garbage collection processes, it doesn't necessarily help any if you have plenty of memory and storage. There are many posts on stackoverflow.com about garbage collection, it's a tricky subject with no real specific solutions. The first and easiest step is to reduce image file sizes then take it from there.

UPDATE: I've changed the video file type and converted all images to compressed PNG files with the help of TinyPNG (excellent resource, thanks for that @raveyd). Unfortunately the problem remains and when I go to play any of the videos it will take me as far as the menu option and then stop functioning before it opens the video player page. I am wondering if anyone's gotten the video player working in Android with a video file as part of the package (not pulling from a URL, though consequently that version of the video player is also not working)? The app package is large but compared with the amount of storage available on the phone (a ratio of about 1:25) it really shouldn't be an issue of space. It is important that this be an "offline" app and the videos be part of the package. Any other suggestions on a workaround or tips on making the plugin function or redirect to a native player are welcome and appreciated.

hmmm... not so sure it's the at53 video player, it looks like it just happens to be the last process before a crash. From the logcat it looks like the heap starts growing disproportionately in the WB_screen_menuImage plugin. I don't know if this has been encountered before, maybe try a forum search (from google to get better results - "site:buzztouch.com/forum/ search query") or contact the developer? Otherwise, you could try running the emulator in DDMS perspective in eclipse and get a heap dump. I't's quite difficult to get any meaningful information without a bit of work. There are plenty of guides on the net to: "convert a dalvik.hprof to a java.hprof". I'll try and dig some links out... What it'll show you is where and why the error is occurring. Then use that information to search stackoverflow.com - there will almost certainly be many different solutions, hopefully one should work!

@raveyd- I have encountered a lot of heap dump problem using wb screen menu image plugin in some of my apps. This usually happens whenever if referred for the images from url and the app crashes abruptly. Thats why i avoid using this plugin. @nmcapps- you too might be having the same problem. Try using simple menu as trial and then check how it goes.

You could try the Menu Image Advanced plugin. It seems similar but manages the XML files differently. I am planning an update to the Menu with Image that will use similar logic in the Menu Image Advanced this fall, maybe October. Another thing that may help even more is the new Buzztouch Android core code. But even with this, you will need to reduce the size of your images for it to work well. Remember that some of your users will have older Android devices.

>>> 08-27 10:40:57.906: W/ZZ(3031): At53_video_player:backgroundWorkerThread using image from project bundle: "ausbacklarge.png" I think this is the background image you are using with the plugin, not the videos causing the crash. Maybe try removing it and using just a color and see if that stops the crash?

Thank you, I will give that a try.

SOLUTION: "I think this is the background image you are using with the plugin, not the videos causing the crash." @ATRAIN53 Thank you very much to everyone who shared your advice. The combination of changing the video file types and removing the background image solved the problem and everything is up and running smoothly now.

Excellent news! Great that it works. I'd argue that it's not a solution to the underlying cause, but rather a workaround. The app shouldn't crash with a background image but it does. The main thing's getting it to work though so that's great!

The new Android core will make a world of difference with how Android works for all of us.
