I'm getting an error in my Android app that says "source not found" and crashes the program. I've already read a number of posts saying that the solution is to download the android source code and load that up in Eclipse, but I tried to no avail. Here is a bunch of information that may help with my problem, let me know if you need more!

Is it weird that the first entry is 'ActivityThrea d' with the 'd' cut off? If this is the problem, what went wrong and how do I fix it? The line of code the debug stops on:
public void AddAnimationID(String index, Integer view)
{ animations.put(index, view);
}
'animations' is a Dictionary and is a member of class Alien. I am calling it like:
Alien alien;
alien.AddAnimationID("idle", R.drawable.idle);
I am correct in thinking that R.drawable.idle is an int right? findViewByID takes an int for the argument. Here is the logcat, I tried to pinpoint where in the log it started the application, sorry if its too much.

I am using Eclipse on Windows 7 x64. I have all of the newest updates to the android SDK and I downloaded the android source code and added it to the Eclipse patch because previous posts led me to try that. The code breaks for debug when the first time AddAnimationID is called. Looks like I didn't have enough breakpoints, the culprit is not the AddAnimationID function but actually the SetImageView one. The if statement seems to not work, so I've commented it out for now. I'll post back once I've figured it out. It's probably something silly that works in another language but not Java.
I am new at android development and java programming, but I have decided to program a drinking game app in android. This app basically simulates a deck a cards, a player clicks a button to draw a card then based on the card thats drawn the player plays a drinking game (ie takes 1 drink, takes 2 drinks ect).
I have the main program in one java file, and the code that shuffles the card deck and puts the card sequence in an array in other java file. My problem is that whenever a class from the other java file (classicMode.java) is called from the main program (fubar.java), my android program crashes and gives the error : "The application Drinking Game - FUBAR (process com.games.dg) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". Code...
I updated my GS4 to android 4.4 Kitkat through Samsung Kies. It seemed to be running smoothly initially but soon it began to crash randomly. When I tried to turn it on again it would crash again. At this point it was on about 40% charge so I plugged it in and it turned on with no problems. I had no such issues using android 4.3. It now dies at around 40-50% charge and won't turn on every time until I plug it in. It had crossed my mind that it could be an issue with my device battery but seeing as I have never had any battery troubles before the update, I think that the new firmware is likely the cause of my woes.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini (model GT-I8190, Android Version 4.1.1) and as of about 3 weeks ago it will crash intermittently when I am using it. I have had the phone for just over a year.The battery will be well charged prior to it crashing. I will be using the phone and then it crashes. The phone will switch off and then will turn on again (by itself) and when the home screen appears the battery will show that its on 0%. This of course then causes the phone to turn off and then turn on again and so on....the only way of stopping this cycle is by taking the battery out (to stop the cycle) or by plugging in the adaptor. Indeed if the phone is plugged in then it never malfunctions and the phone works ok.
Also the battery charge has started to drop quite significantly - It sits on my desk at work and yet i cannot get through the day without re-charging it. When i was in the O2 shop the other day it dropped 12% in 5 mins.It usually crashes when I am using apps that in the past have worked fine but today it crashed when it was updating an app.I have deleted apps that I have added recently in case it is anything to do with them.I have backed up everything and have restored factory settings.I have not dropped it or got water on it etc.
The problem still exists.I took it to o2 who want to send it off. Is it simply a battery issue? It could be a battery issue but I dont want to spend money on a new battery for the problem to persist.

I'm trying to understand remote services at the moment and everything works fine, i can start the service and know how to communicate with it through the AIDL-interface. My problem is that the service seems to still run in the same process like the activity it was started from, because the activity crashes too, if there is an error thrown in the Service.
I set the service process to remote ( android:process=":remote" ) so what am i doing wrong? Or what do i have to do to unbind the service-process completely from the activity-process?
I just updated to the new version through Kies. As soon as my phone booted and I exited lock screen, a lot of popups of processes that crashed show up. This includes android.process.acore, com.google.processes.gapps, Daily Briefing, calendar... pretty much everything shows up and I don't have access to anything on the phone. Apparently usb debug got back on so I can't get kies to recognize the phone.
I have a contract-free galaxy s from germany. Rooted. Uninstalled ryans lag fix through market before upgrading. I don't know what I did wrong. What can I do?
After my phone froze, I just got it back from repairs. NOTHING works anymore. All apps, messages etc. gone. That would all have been alright, if it wasn't for the inability to reinstall apps, re-configure mail, facebook and bank. Running Android 4.1.2 btw
PROBLEMS
- can no longer choose to login to a Google account - that option simply doesn't appear in "accounts"
- Clicking tabs: Google drive, google +, Gmail, Play store, maps, causes rhe program to flash open and close instantly. Many videos showing this particular thing.
FIXES, TRIED AND FAILED
.:: Play store and downloads: Tried stopping app and clearing data - cache wasn't an option, since nothing had been used.
.:: Was able to update "play store", dont remember the exact version, with the newest file found on Android Police. Installed. Didn't work.
.:: Resetting: Went back to factory settings twice. Also tried a hard reboot.
.:: Any install/download button I click is non-responsive, by the way.
.:: Managed to get chrome working (still unable to sign into account via that), and downloaded that update from Android police

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've read this in a few articles, that one should avoid floating point operations within the physics update of a game.
But how do you really achieve this? Surely all half decent games are going to involve this kind of maths?
Does it mean, convert all your variables to int, or use double instead, or simply just cut it out as much as possible?
So i was wondering if its possible to for an application that i would write to be constantly running in the background and alter regular phone operations. For example this could be something like as soon as you receive a text from anyone you forward it automatically to another number. Is something like this at all possible? Just to be clear I don't want to solve that particular problem through some other means, just want to know if apps can accomplish that. Also if that is possible is it possible for an app that i write to alter more immediate and instant things, like an incoming call.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI do a lot of Android app testing. I use my regular phone, where I have my contacts and my regular gmail account. I never used a credit card on this account. I mostly use APK files to install the apps. I have 2 questions:
1. can an app display some permissions when installing, but have others hidden permissions ?
Example: instal APK file > says permissions "Network access" and that's it.
Can this app also read my data or make phone calls, even though those permissions were not displayed ?
What is I use an app to display ALL permissions ? Can it really display all or is there an way to still have hidden permissions ? I use Android 2.3.7 root and 4.1 no root.
2. Can an app make unauthorized hidden operations, like place phone calls or send texts or steal my gmail password ?
Like I said, I never used a credit card, so at least that's not a problem. But I have my SIM card - can an app place a value added call or SMS (I don't know the exact English term - expensive call), without me knowing about it ?
Or compromise my Gmail account ? I have an alternate email for recovery.
Ok, so I wonder how to troubleshoot Android phone crashes, freezes, reboots, etc.
Maybe there are ways to troubleshoot these kind of events by looking at loggings to pinpoint the problem (like does a particular app cause this, or a hardware event, etc).
I see my HTC notices it recovered from an abnormal reset for instance, and asks to send logging to HTC HQ, so there seems to be ways that could tell more what is causing trouble?
