I am having a few beta tester reports of the phone dialer causing a "force close" problem with a version 2.00 App on tablets,earlier versions don't cause this.any ideas?

This is Android right? This is what I had to do..this happens when a user goes "Back" to an item not supported on a device. Till there is a better fix I am just catching the Force Close screen in the BT_activity_base.java starts around line 300 public static void showAlertFromClass(String theTitle, String theMessage){ if(theTitle == "") theTitle = "No Alert Title?"; if(theMessage == "") theMessage = "No alert message?"; final AlertDialog theAlert = new AlertDialog.Builder(thisActivity).create(); theAlert.setTitle(theTitle); theAlert.setMessage(theMessage); theAlert.setIcon(R.drawable.icon); theAlert.setCancelable(false); theAlert.setButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) { theAlert.dismiss(); } }); try { theAlert.show(); } catch(Exception e){ // WindowManager$BadTokenException will be caught and the app would not display // the 'Force Close' message } }

When I first saw this thread I was thinking, well this only applies to apps written for tablets. Then I was wondering why do they have phone dialing features in a tablet app. Then I realized they are using an app with dialing features on a Tablet. Hence, unless you limit your app to only install on non-tablets this is a necessary modification to all Buzztouch Android apps. Thanks, Fred

Yep, it acts correctly until you go "Back" then a feature like calling not supported on tablets will force close instead of showing the Alert Message...this is why I used the try catch statement for now to avoid force close

Hi. Thanks for the info.I will get back to you once the testers confirm the fix or not! Regards,Geoff.

Fix worked thanks. I love open source! Regards,Geoff.

Sweet!

Probably a GPS problem Hi, I found modifying the code at the bottom of the AndroidManifest.xml allows install of BT apps on Kindle Fire and other tablets without GPS, <!-- THE NEXT LINE IS ONLY USED IF MAPS ARE USED --> <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" android:required="false"/>

Hi, Fred i'd already send you my apk on your email thank you again. Satit P.

Hi, Fred After follow your suggestion it's work!!! Now i able to installed to my tablet. I fixed it by modify the Manifest file as the following: - Remove com.google.android.maps - Install Location --> preferExternal, - Debug --> false thank you again Satit P.

Hi, Fred I used url image by upload to btserver as link below: http://btserver.phayoune.org/files/applications/EA9CFF39C245E3C76C84773E8/images/pbg.jpg i notice that the same image able to show at submenu(Custom HTML/text). Thank you in advance. Satit P.

I used embedded image in the drawable folder. Perhaps that's the difference. Fred

How can i do that, i mean embedded image ? Because of I just type the file name pbg.jpg in image file name box , then copy to /res/drawable/ after recompiles. It does not work. Thank you in advance Satit P.

You must export binary (.apk) for embedded images to appear in the app. Simple test: using the control panel enter name of image already in the source code try green dot. Fred

It still does not work. the image not show up. Please advice. Satit P.

Hi, Is it still necessary to include the fix for apps with dialling features crashing on apps or is this resolved now? John

Its still necessary, I haven't seen any announcement indicating this has been resolved. Fred
