Force Close On Android App

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

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.

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 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
