Hey all, So I'm having trouble with one of my apps. I'm updating one of my 1.4 apps to 2.0. I've gotten everything worked out, no errors and am able to export the apk. When I try and load it on my phone it comes up blank. No home screen, no way to refresh the app. Nothing. Has anyone had this problem before? If so, what was the solution? Thanks in advance!

Did you drag the plugins folder into your project?

For Android? I only thought that was for iPhone...

Oh, didn't see this was posted in the Android section. Sorry about that!

No worries...

Are you doing an actual update of the v1.4 app already installed on your phone, or a clean install of the new v2.0 app on your phone? My guess is that if you're doing an update to the older version, it may be encountering an error. You could hook the phone up to Eclipse and see what LogCat says is the problem. Does it work in the Emulator? Mark

Hey Mark! Long time no talk! So it's a new app, I don't have it on my phone, a fresh install of 2.0 I will try and hook up my phone and run eclipse, is there any program within eclipse I need to run to do this? I haven't tried on the emulator on my computer (it takes forever to load, and I have a nexus so I never check on my computer), but I will test now. Thanks!

Hey! Nothing special you need to load in Eclipse. Just hook up your device to your computer, run the app in Eclipse, and have it sent to the device instead of an emulator. Then you should see debug output in LogCat. Mark

So I ran I pluged my phone in and eclipse recognized it, and this is what I got from the console: [2013-08-01 12:01:18 - com.v1_4.tbeonthego.com] ------------------------------ [2013-08-01 12:01:18 - com.v1_4.tbeonthego.com] Android Launch!

Anything after that? And is this the LogCat tab? It looks like it's from the Console tab? I'm most interested in what shows in LogCat at the time you launch your app and don't see anything. Mark

Here's the logcat: 08-01 12:09:45.297: W/fb4a(:<default>):MqttClient(8753): Error in network loop: 08-01 12:09:45.297: W/fb4a(:<default>):MqttClient(8753): javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Read error: ssl=0x72497250: I/O error during system call, Connection reset by peer 08-01 12:09:45.297: W/fb4a(:<default>):MqttClient(8753): at org.apache.harmony.xnet.provider.jsse.NativeCrypto.SSL_read(Native Method) 08-01 12:09:45.297: W/fb4a(:<default>):MqttClient(8753): at org.apache.harmony.xnet.provider.jsse.OpenSSLSocketImpl$SSLInputStream.read(OpenSSLSocketImpl.java:664) 08-01 12:09:45.297: W/fb4a(:<default>):MqttClient(8753): at libcore.io.Streams.readSingleByte(Streams.java:41) 08-01 12:09:45.297: W/fb4a(:<default>):MqttClient(8753): at org.apache.harmony.xnet.provider.jsse.OpenSSLSocketImpl$SSLInputStream.read(OpenSSLSocketImpl.java:648) 08-01 12:09:45.297: W/fb4a(:<default>):MqttClient(8753): at com.google.common.io.CountingInputStream.read(CountingInputStream.java:52) 08-01 12:09:45.297: W/fb4a(:<default>):MqttClient(8753): at java.io.DataInputStream.readUnsignedByte(DataInputStream.java:174) 08-01 12:09:45.297: W/fb4a(:<default>):MqttClient(8753): at com.facebook.mqtt.serialization.MessageDecoder.b(MessageDecoder.java:72) 08-01 12:09:45.297: W/fb4a(:<default>):MqttClient(8753): at com.facebook.mqtt.serialization.MessageDecoder.a(MessageDecoder.java:52) 08-01 12:09:45.297: W/fb4a(:<default>):MqttClient(8753): at com.facebook.mqtt.MqttClient.i(MqttClient.java:406) 08-01 12:09:45.297: W/fb4a(:<default>):MqttClient(8753): at com.facebook.mqtt.MqttClient.a(MqttClient.java:72) 08-01 12:09:45.297: W/fb4a(:<default>):MqttClient(8753): at com.facebook.mqtt.MqttClient$1.run(MqttClient.java:239) 08-01 12:09:45.297: W/fb4a(:<default>):MqttClient(8753): at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:856) 08-01 12:09:45.477: W/Settings(8753): Setting wifi_sleep_policy has moved from android.provider.Settings.System to android.provider.Settings.Global, returning read-only value.

Not sure why there would be an error in network group...

Just ran it again, and got this: 08-01 12:11:09.076: W/ZZ(11595): BT_activity_root:loadAppData 08-01 12:11:09.086: W/ZZ(11595): BT_device:updateDeviceConnectionType: ConnectionType: WIFI 08-01 12:11:09.086: W/ZZ(11595): BT_device:updateDeviceSize This device has a screen size of: 768 (width) x 1184 (height). 08-01 12:11:09.086: W/ZZ(11595): BT_device:updateDeviceSize This application considers this to be a "large device" 08-01 12:11:09.086: W/ZZ(11595): BT_device:updateDeviceSize This device is in "portrait" orientation. 08-01 12:11:09.086: W/ZZ(11595): BT_activity_root:loadAppData loading BT_config.txt from /assests folder in Eclipse project... 08-01 12:11:09.156: W/ZZ(11595): BT_fileManager: readTextFileFromAssets: "/BT_config.txt" 08-01 12:11:09.156: W/InputMethodManagerService(514): Starting input on non-focused client com.android.internal.view.IInputMethodClient$Stub$Proxy@423f0488 (uid=10035 pid=952) 08-01 12:11:09.176: I/ActivityManager(514): Displayed com.v1_4.tbeonthego.com/.BT_activity_root: +133ms 08-01 12:11:09.196: D/dalvikvm(11595): GC_CONCURRENT freed 376K, 5% free 9248K/9652K, paused 5ms+3ms, total 32ms 08-01 12:11:09.196: D/dalvikvm(11595): WAIT_FOR_CONCURRENT_GC blocked 20ms 08-01 12:11:09.206: D/dalvikvm(11595): GC_FOR_ALLOC freed 122K, 5% free 9284K/9728K, paused 14ms, total 14ms 08-01 12:11:09.206: W/ZZ(11595): BT_activity_root:loadAppData loaded BT_config.txt from /assets folder successfully... 08-01 12:11:09.206: W/ZZ(11595): BT_application: getDataURLFromAppData 08-01 12:11:09.226: W/ZZ(11595): BT_activity_root:loadAppData BT_config.txt file does use a dataURL for remote updates... 08-01 12:11:09.226: W/ZZ(11595): BT_activity_root:loadAppData cachedAppConfig.txt does not exist in the cache... 08-01 12:11:09.226: W/ZZ(11595): BT_application: validateApplicationData 08-01 12:11:09.256: D/dalvikvm(11595): GC_CONCURRENT freed 464K, 6% free 9270K/9764K, paused 3ms+3ms, total 20ms 08-01 12:11:09.276: W/ZZ(11595): BT_activity_root: application data appears to be valid JSON... 08-01 12:11:09.276: W/ZZ(11595): BT_application: parseJSONData 08-01 12:11:09.306: W/ZZ(11595): BT_application: parsing core settings... 08-01 12:11:09.306: W/ZZ(11595): BT_application: parsing themes... 08-01 12:11:09.306: W/ZZ(11595): BT_application: parsing tabs... 08-01 12:11:09.306: W/ZZ(11595): BT_application: parsing screens... 08-01 12:11:09.306: W/ZZ(11595): BT_application:parseJSONData done parsing application data 08-01 12:11:09.306: W/ZZ(11595): BT_activity_root:transitionToAppHomeScreen 08-01 12:11:09.306: W/ZZ(11595): BT_activity_root:transitionToAppHomeScreen non-tabbed home screen. 08-01 12:11:09.306: W/ZZ(11595): BT_application: getHomeScreen 08-01 12:11:09.306: W/ZZ(11595): BT_activity_root:transitionToAppHomeScreen ERROR loading home screen for plugin type: com.tbeonthegov2.BT_screen_menuButtons

Any other messages after that? Sometimes it gives details of the error after it says there was one. Not much to go on here other than there's a problem loading the home screen.

Right? That's the strange thing. It doesn't seem to want to load the home screen. Could it be that one of my icons isn't named properly (one of them is named icon)?

Could very well be...or a bad color tag or something. But most of that should be called out in LogCat. If you want, send me your BT_Config.txt file for review and I can see if there are any obvious issues. MrkFleming at gmail dot com Mark

Sent! Thanks again my man!

So what became of this?

So what became of this? I'm finding that if I delete some plugins and refresh, that those changes are not updated in the iOS simulator. Right now I've got a blank sim screen, even though I have 2 plugins in my control panel. Scott

Blank sim screen generally means that the plugin isn't part of the Xcode project (you can drag it in). Have you verified they are? Mark

Yes. I have.

Well, this is where I ask to look at the Debug Console info or LogCat output. It's hard to say what's going on without extra information that's contained in those outputs. It could be that it's not grabbing the updated config file, or using the wrong one, or any of a dozen issues. If there is more info you can provide, hook us up, and we'll check it out! Mark
