Some users get this error (and app crash):

It appears that Hockey is attempting to show a dialog asking users to submit crashes. Any idea what is going on?

Thanks,
Garry

   Hi Garry,

   how have you integrated HockeySDK for Android into your app?

   • With a library project as described here?
   • As a jar? If yes, did you use the .jar provided here?
   • Any other way, e.g. via Maven?

   We can't reproduce your error at the moment, so any more detail would be helpful (Android version, device type, etc).

   Kind regards,

   Thomas

   We are using it as a library project in IntelliJ IDEA. We have mostly seen the problem on the Kindle Fire. It seems that with certain builds we would have that problem on some % of devices, but not all.

   Thanks,
   Garry

   I upgraded to the latest SDK and it is still happening. Should I try the .jar instead of library project?

   Hi Garry,

   yes, please try the .jar instead. I am trying to reproduce your error on my Kindle Fire, but no luck so far.

   Cheers,

   Thomas

   Hockey is crashing my app using the .jar as well. Any ideas? Thanks.

   Hi Garry,

   this is weird, the .jar file does not access any R.string stuff and there is no method in CrashManager.java, line 109. You can see the code here:
   https://github.com/codenauts/HockeySDK-Android/blob/7bd9870a56a6fb0...

   Is it possible that you still somehow reference to the library project? Have you tried a clean build?

   It is already past 11pm here in Germany, but I can create and provide a simple demo project in IntelliJ tomorrow. The hope would be that you can identify the problem by comparing it to your project.

   Cheers,

   Thomas

   Hi Garry,

   I just wanted to check back if this issue is solved or if you are still seeing problems with our SDK?

   Thanks,

   Thomas

   Looks like things have been good since I switched to the .jar. I thought one user had an issue but I believe he wasn't running my latest build at the time.

   Thanks,
   Garry
