After the last android app update, the app crashes whenever I select servo profile, on my Samsung GalaxyS5
There is a known bug, possibly caused by Google, that can cause the mobile app to crash on an Andriod upgrade which has something to do with apps that use a trackbar, such as Six and Roli. The link below outlines the problem that someone else had a short while back.
ARC mobile crashing after latest Galaxy S5 update
It's possible that removing the trackbar from the project might resolve the issue for now, so it might be worth a try.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm actually using the JD and JD no eyes apps. Both apps work fine with one exception, as soon as I press the servo Profile button the app closes.
What version of android are you using?
Android version 5.0
Okay, can you do a test - load the Six app and tell me if the main screen loads without errors? Do not load the servo config, only the main screen.
The huge challenge with android is the non-standard flavors of each manufacturer and device. We want people to have the ability to design their own apps and interfaces, which is a very powerful feature. However, because android is always different, there's so many exceptions in the code to support all flavors. There are many that we don't even hear about, such as this one.
One time I disliked developing for iOS because it was a pain to get developer approval. Now I'm disliking android for this reason
. The tables have turned!
iOS always works. Android, not so much...
The Six app does open
Okay - I will see what I can do. I might need to give you a sample app to test with.
Can you elaborate on the steps taken to the error? I.e. Where are you selecting servo profile button from? What project file name is loaded? Etc. thanks! Any info will help.
I have gotten the same error using JD, JD no eyes and Six app. I can connect and control my JD robot with the app, including using the pose screen to control each servo. As soon as I press the servo profile button, from any screen I can find it on, the app closes and I get an error, saying "unfortunately ARC unexpectedly closed". It did work before I updated. Thank, for the support.
