Unknown error on Rotating Screen

Postby mel » Mon Mar 09, 2009 7:41 pm

I am having an unexpected error when taking the keyboard out...

I only have a simple layout with some inputs and text view...

I initialize them with the attribute: android:visibility="invisible"

and i show them on the screen as they are needed...

when i take out the keyboard to write on the inputs the app shows an unexpected error and finish the app...

NO other screen gives this error...

ANY IDEAS?!?!?!

here some of my code:

It's pretty obvious: you have a FileNotFoundException (samplefile.txt)

This is just plain java debugging...

I am sorry to disappoint you MrSnowflake

But actually thats an error that i expect...

The thing is that i only Authenticate the cellphone with my web Service the really first time that he/she goes into the app... then i write a file with the authenticate information in the phone and save it for future actions...

the thing is that in the really first time that the user uses the app it is expected that the file isn't there...

so the authentication is made just when the app get started and it doesn't show any problem... the problem occurs just when I take out the keyboard to write, and it calls a method "performLaunchActivity" as you can see in the debug of the screenshot...

but thx for your help

I see now that you have the exception go to stdout, which Dalvik doesn't do.

What do you mean when you say that Dalvik (the vm) doesn't do it?
It doesn't support this kind of errors? or what?

The weird thing is that i comment this code of reading the file and any other code that is not related just to the layout... and it stills has the error... :S that's why i think it has to be with the XML layout or something like that...

Well... i just found the error :P

the thing is that there are 2 objects in the view that have the same name "@+id/widget30"
And when the Activity tries to refresh the view it gets the exception :)

I just guess it hehe... but thx for your help ;)

So, here I am again :P

now I have this problem:

as you can see, i hide and show inputs as i need them on the layout...

the thing is that after the app does the verification process (i have the keyboard physically out in this moment) i hide all the inputs and just show a text that says: Success! But when I close again the keyboard it refresh everything and shows up again all the inputs that i already hide :S

how can i avoid this? or do i have to find a way to catch this thing? :S

Ok well, this is what i found out....

When you hide or open the keyboard the onCreate() method runs because the activity gets restarted and the configuration changes


android:configChanges
Lists configuration changes that the activity will handle itself. When changes that are not listed occur, the activity is shut down and restarted. When a listed change occurs, the activity remains running and its onConfigurationChanged() method is called.



so... i find out that you can control this actions by putting this on your Manifest:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]
Using xml Syntax Highlighting
  1.  
  2.  
  3.  
  4. <activity ...
  5.  
  6.                  android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation">
  7.  
  8. ...
  9.  
  10. </activity>
  11.  
  12.  
  13.  
  14.  
Parsed in 0.001 seconds, using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

:) hope this will help someone else with the same problem :)
