I am experiencing a strange app crash when running on android.

It seems to have something to do with the native textfields and the keyboard on an htc evo.

What seems to cause the crash is a specific screen in my app. There are 3 text fields on top of 3 buttons. There is also a dropdown that is stored off screen and is attached to a different button. When you touch the dropdown button, the textfields are removed and the popup slides down. When you touch off of the popup, it slides back off screen and then textfields are recreated and their previous text values are restored. If you enter text into the text fields and then attempt to touch the popup button, the app crashes and prints a bunch of debug info. It does not force close, it just closes.

Hopefully you guys can help me to quickly resolve this issue as it is keeping me from releasing my app.

Here is the debug info that is printed after the crash.

I also recently have been getting "fail to set top app changed". Its very random. Sometimes I can play for a half hour and sometime only a few minutes and sometimes it doesnt happen at all. logcat says
"fail to set top app changed". This just started happening my app on sunday night. I don't really have to much text in my game though just a few numbers and a win and lose screen. Its probably something I did to my code over the weekend.

I'm experiencing almost the exact same thing, minus the "fail to set top app changed!" portion -- in fact, my log cat doesn't show any E/Error issues at all, only debug stuff.

My app also crashes with the native textfield and keyboard present, while executing very similar animation to what you're describing in your post, although mine is more intermittent while executing the same actions. It only happens about 75% of the time, while animating properly the remainder of the time.

Did either of you ever find a work around? Not having textfields isn't an option for me.

Thanks!

Hey guys,

I did end up fixing the issue. What I had to do was hide the text fields instead of deleting them. I only deleted them once I was completely finished with the screen that I was using. Also, I had to dismiss the keyboard before hiding the textfield. I used a timer to hide the textfields, waiting 150 milliseconds or so. As long as you hide the textfields instead of deleting them, and make sure that the keyboard is dismissed ( native.setKeyboardFocus(nil) ) before hiding the textfields you should be ok.

Hello deusduke,

Would you mind writing up a bug report with the information that you have posted here along with some sample code please? That will help expedite this matter.
Please see the "Report a Bug" link at the top of this page.

I will see if I can reproduce the error and submit a bug report with the relevant info and sample code.
