Re: Android APK sanity check
Hi I have had the same problem Using old and very new android devices, where the program will give a blank/black screen on different versions of Android with no ryme or reason. Sometimes it works on and older version of android with older hardware and fails on a phone or tablet with say the oreo version although the program only needs a minimum of 4.1. and the api is correct. The same android on different hardware might or might not work (black screen no errors reported no "crash") YMMV.

RE: Android APK sanity check
I have to agree. The APK file that you provided did run on my Nexus7 but had some bad effects on both o my Devices. My Android Program that I have that's under development started having loading problems on my Nexus7 and had to be removed through the apps settings under the Android Settings menu. It now works again. This didn't happen when I ran your test script and loaded through the Android App test menu. I also had to do a Reboot Reset on the other Android Device in order to get that Android device to run "as normal". So, my conclusion is: The application that creates the APK file is somehow corrupted but "sort of" runs. But once installed corrupts the Android System (if that makes sense to you)., although it doesn't do this if created locally via the Development "test" option. I haven't tried to used your test script to create an APK file locally. I will try that a bit later and update that result for you. Later! -Original Message- From: use-livecode On Behalf Of J.

The plain stack then had the same misbehavior -- black screen and crash on launch. One by one I turned off each inclusion, tested, and then turned it back on and disabled the next one. It looks like the culprit is mergJSON. With that included I get the crash, without it the apk behaves. I'll submit my test stack and a bug report.

RE: Android APK sanity check
The problem that I had, had to do with the identifier name and had nothing to do with anything else. I remember that from earlier problems that Panos identified for me. The test stack worked on both Android Devices that I have. More info on my system: Windows 10 computer with the Java jdk 1.8.0_171. -Original Message- From: use-livecode On Behalf Of J.

RE: Android APK sanity check
Hi Jacque, I just tried again and it worked. My initial screen after the reload was blank but when I closed the app and reloaded it, it actually works. When I clicked the button I get 1527802252 in the text field. I actually had to change the identifier (in this case to "com.cpm.testapp" ) in the Android application window. -Original Message- From: use-livecode On Behalf Of Clarence Martin via use-livecode Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2018 2:12 PM To: 'How to use LiveCode' Cc: chi...@themartinz.com Subject: RE: Android APK sanity check Hi Jacque, I just tried your test stack and I can't get it to complete the APK to load on either of my devices.
