Joe Bowser commented on CB-2391: -------------------------------- The issue here is adding :null to your URI. The Android Team apparently did not fix their web history bug that has been plaguing them since Android 3.0. For now, I would advise you to either do the following: 1. Don't use : in your anchors 2. Use the old history I still think we should deprecate our old history because it's non-standard, so I don't think this bug will impact those plans, since it's easy enough to not use : in an anchor tag. > useBrowserHistory true crashes app when returning from WebView > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CB-2391 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-2391 > Project: Apache Cordova > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Android > Affects Versions: 2.3.0 > Environment: Seen on Nexus 4, Android 4.2.1 > Reporter: Robert Hoffmann > Assignee: Joe Bowser > Labels: WebView, crash, hash, url > > With useBrowserHistory (true) the application crashes when returning from > WebView (using the android back button). > Reproduce: > 1) So from the Cordova App page > (file:///android_asset/www/app.html#BackPlace:null) the user clicks on a link > (e.g. www.google.com) which opens the WebView. > 2) When clicking the back button to return to the app, the app crashes with > the exception below. > Guess: > I wonder if the hash in the originating cordova app page could be the core of > this problem (e.g. file:///android_asset/www/app.html#BackPlace:null). > Note: > The app does not crash when setting useBrowserHistory to false! > >> > 02-07 01:09:45.979: E/dalvikvm(8542): Class lookup > Landroid/webkit/WebResourceResponse; attempted with exception pending > 02-07 01:09:45.979: W/dalvikvm(8542): Pending exception is: > 02-07 01:09:45.979: I/dalvikvm(8542): java.lang.NullPointerException: > 02-07 01:09:45.979: I/dalvikvm(8542): at > android.content.res.AssetManager.openAsset(Native Method) > 02-07 01:09:45.979: I/dalvikvm(8542): at > android.content.res.AssetManager.open(AssetManager.java:315) > 02-07 01:09:45.979: I/dalvikvm(8542): at > android.webkit.BrowserFrame.inputStreamForAndroidResource(BrowserFrame.java:765) > 02-07 01:09:45.979: I/dalvikvm(8542): at > android.webkit.BrowserFrame.shouldInterceptRequest(BrowserFrame.java:852) > 02-07 01:09:45.979: I/dalvikvm(8542): at > android.webkit.BrowserFrame.nativeGoBackOrForward(Native Method) > 02-07 01:09:45.979: I/dalvikvm(8542): at > android.webkit.BrowserFrame.goBackOrForward(BrowserFrame.java:346) > 02-07 01:09:45.979: I/dalvikvm(8542): at > android.webkit.WebViewCore$EventHub$1.handleMessage(WebViewCore.java:1400) > 02-07 01:09:45.979: I/dalvikvm(8542): at > android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:99) > 02-07 01:09:45.979: I/dalvikvm(8542): at > android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:137) > 02-07 01:09:45.979: I/dalvikvm(8542): at > android.webkit.WebViewCore$WebCoreThread.run(WebViewCore.java:812) > 02-07 01:09:45.979: I/dalvikvm(8542): at > java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:856) > 02-07 01:09:45.979: I/dalvikvm(8542): DALVIK THREADS: > 02-07 01:09:45.979: I/dalvikvm(8542): (mutexes: tll=0 tsl=0 tscl=0 ghl=0) > 02-07 01:09:45.979: D/DroidGap(8542): > onMessage(onPageStarted,file:///android_asset/www/app.html#BackPlace:null) > 02-07 01:09:45.979: I/dalvikvm(8542): "main" prio=5 tid=1 NATIVE > 02-07 01:09:45.989: I/dalvikvm(8542): | group="main" sCount=0 dsCount=0 > obj=0x40cfc9a0 self=0x40701bf8 > 02-07 01:09:45.989: I/dalvikvm(8542): | sysTid=8542 nice=0 sched=0/0 > cgrp=apps handle=1074258908 > 02-07 01:09:45.989: I/dalvikvm(8542): | state=S schedstat=( 0 0 0 ) utm=97 > stm=76 core=0 > 02-07 01:09:45.999: I/dalvikvm(8542): #00 pc 00017ee4 /system/lib/libc.so > (epoll_wait+12) > << -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
