I recently created an app which has been working fine up until this morning, when I had done an update in the Buzz control panel. Now I keep getting a force close when it tries to update the app after I get the notification for me to update app. Why would it all of a sudden start force closing its been fine for weeks?

A possible problem would be an error in a screen nickname. Fred

Hi Fred thanks for the advice but still no joy, just don't get why it would just stop working and keep Force Closing. I have even gone as far as re-downloading the project again but still isn't working, its so random.

Try posting a logcat perhaps we'll find the error. Fred

Hi Fred my Logcat is very long, should I post?

You can filter it. See BTU video in Android Learning Path. If you can't figure out how to filter post away. Fred

Hi Fred I decided again for the 5th time to recreate my android app relaunched Eclipse created a new project, created my .apk file but still have the same issues, I haven't changed any code anywhere, I have just downloaded the source code from BT but still keep getting a force close, I have even created just 3 page app to see and still the same problem. My Logcat is currently empty as I started again so I have nothing to post, just don't get what happened.

Hi Fred I know its asking much but can I send you my project, just to see if you can run the app on your device, thats provided you have an android device at hand. I have just run out of options.

First send apk.

should I send to the email address shown in your profile name?

Hi Fred I think I know what my issue is, it may be a cache problem, which I cannot seem to get pass. I have tried installing other BT projects and they work fine, but this particular project has become corrupt in some way. Are there any suggestions, or am I going to have to rebuild the project again as a fresh BT project? Also I tried sending you my .apk file but I kept getting a message saying the email cannot be found.

Copy the Config data from the control panel and paste into the BT_config.txt file. You might check the tabbed / layout setup in the control panel (do this first) Fred

Hi Fred done what you asked but still the same, basically when I launch the app for the first time it will load, but as soon as I make an update or even try and do a fully data refresh thats when it force closes the app.

Hi Fred I think I may of located my issue, I will let you know if I'm successful. Again thank you for all your help.

Hi Fred still having issues, I now get a message saying 'there was a problem loading the app's configuration data..' It looks like I may have to start the whole project again.

Usually don't recommend this, but try re-downloading the source code. Be careful not to overwrite any current source code files inadvertently. Fred
