App crash upon running the uploadFile() function

[johnRosalin]

Make sure to check the demo app(s) for sample usage

I followed the documentation on how to implement this.

Make sure to check the existing issues in this repository

I have not found a similar issue with this error I am encountering

If the demo apps cannot help and there is no issue for your problem, tell us about it

Here is the error code that I get.

An uncaught Exception occurred on "pool-6-thread-1" thread.

Please, tell us how to recreate the issue in as much detail as possible.

I tried many ways to reproduce this error, and I have narrowed it down to this. I noticed that this error will occur when my project has the nativescript-social-login plugin installed.

Is there any code involved ?

here is the method to start the file upload

// Upload selected file
uploadSelectedFile() {
    if (!this.selectedFiles || (this.selectedFiles && this.selectedFiles.length < 1)) {
        alert({
            title: "Error!",
            message: "Please select a file to upload.",
            okButtonText: "OK"
        });

        return;
    }

    let file = this.selectedFiles[0].path;
    let url = 'http://10.33.1.114:3000';
    let name = file.substr(file.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);

    let session = bghttp.session('image-upload');
    let request = {
        url: url,
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
            'Content-Type': 'application/octet-stream'
        },
        description: `Uploading ${name}`
    };

    let task = session.uploadFile(file, request);

    task.on("progress", this.progressHandler);
    task.on("error", this.errorHandler);
    task.on("responded", this.respondedHandler);
    task.on("complete", this.completeHandler);
    task.on("cancelled", this.cancelledHandler);
}

private progressHandler = (e) => {
    alert("uploaded " + e.currentBytes + " / " + e.totalBytes);
}

private errorHandler = (e) => {
    alert("received " + e.responseCode + " code.");
    var serverResponse = e.response;
}

private respondedHandler = (e) => {
    alert("received " + e.responseCode + " code. Server sent: " + e.data);
}

private completeHandler = (e) => {
    alert("received " + e.responseCode + " code");
    var serverResponse = e.response;
}

private cancelledHandler = (e) => {
    alert("upload cancelled");
}

Hi @johnRosalin, here's a thread about an issue that looks very similar to yours. Maybe a removal of nativescript-social-login (if you don't use it), or some change in app.gradle can fix that? Let us know if this helps.

[johnRosalin]

I actually needed the social-login plugin for my app so I tried updating the app.gradle and it fixed the crash issue. thank you so much!
