[Solved] Mobile App won't email sightings

Hi Ray,

You have the new S21 Ultra. Nice! How do you like it? I still have my S9+.

This is interesting. Your bug should be logged with my account in Google Play. Give me a day to dig into this and get you updated and get this hopefully resolved.

Stay tuned,

Jeff

Update, unable to get to this today. Will make it a priority tomorrow.

fyi

Jeff

Update:

I have isolated the problem you are having. It is all (100%) occurring on the latest version of Android (11) and all on the latest Samsung devices.

Digging into this. Stay tuned.

Jeff

Update:

I have found the problem. And can fix. However, the code is in the middle of a few big changes, so this may take some time. 4 days to 2 weeks.

You can probably fix this problem yourself. The problem is a CSV file in the Export/Import directory that has a filename I was not expecting. If you can clear that directory of all files, the problem should go away.

I assume this problem exists because you copied a checklist file of your own creation into this directory per the instructions here.

If you connect your phone to your computer and then browse that directory using Windows File Explorer, you should be able to remove the offending file(s).

Let me know please,

Jeff

Hmmm. Upon further review, this error should not keep BD Mobile from working correctly, as I have error trapping and avoidance built in.

All that to say, I am not certain that the previous post will fix your problem, but worth a try. If possible, before you delete files in that Local Storage Path on your phone, please take a screen capture and post here for my viewing.

Thanks.

Jeff

Update:

Testing on Emulated Pixel 4 XL with Android 11 (you appear to be running Android 11). I don't have your Samsung physical device nor is there an Emulator available for it.

I was able to reproduce the error that I see on your uploaded error report that occurs whenever BD Mobile encounters an error. It is a footprint that tells me where the error occurs. In this case...

So, I copied a file into that directory that is less than 9 chars in length (e.g. "abcd.csv"), and indeed it triggered the 

StringIndexOutOfBoundsException

But, it continues to open my selected email app (Gmail) and send the email. And you never see an error. This is how the code is supposed to work.

So, not sure why yours is hanging.

Digging deeper. Stay tuned...

Jeff

Ah! Got it. My bad. This error handler was added after I released v1.25.

So you do not have this code and this explains why you are getting this error!

The solution is to follow my instructions above for removing the errant file whose name is less than 9 chars total (e.g. "1234.678" - notice that the period/dot counts as a character).

Please let me know how that goes by posting back here once you try this and test it.

Thanks and sorry for the problem.

Jeff

Note: I should have a new version released with the corrected code in it soon (e.g. 4 days to 2 weeks).

You will be upgraded automatically if that is your Play Store setting on your device.

fyi

Jeff

Thanks, waiting for a cable to connect phone to the computer and will try and find the offending checklist;

Hi Ray,

I think the best thing to do is for me to release a quick update that fixes this issue. Expect an update Monday or Tuesday for this.

So sorry for the inconvenience. But I think this is the easiest way to get you back up and running the quickest.

fyi

Jeff

UPDATE:

Just released v1.27 to the Google Play Store. It contains the fix for this issue, and a couple other very rare (only happened once on old devices) issues.

Depending on your settings, it will auto-update on your device as soon as Google Play OKs it for release. Generally 4 to 24 hours.

Ray - please confirm that your problem is fixed when you get updated to v1.27.

fyi

Jeff
