Bug on importing Deck name contain `::` on AnkiDroid

[drquochoai]

I want to create a subdeck so I create Deck name "Language::English" On Desktop every thing go well But on Ankidroid, the error appear Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String com.ichi2.utils.JSON Object.getString(java.lang.Stringy on a null object reference

I have created an issue in AnkiDroid. I will inspect it for the possible cause. In next update it will be resolved.

The name is inserted here package.js #L62 package.js #L77 package.js #L83

This is bug of AnkiDroid and it will be fixed soon. So, in meantime use deck only avoid creating subdeck. I will update this issues when the bug fixed in AnkiDroid.

Do we have any temp solution now, when I create decks with multiple subdecks on genanki (python), the AnkiDroid works well without any error.

I have extracted collection.anki2 sqlite db to text file compared the both file. It is need to inspect more.

This is collection.anki2 dump db to text for genanki python module py.txt

This is collection.anki2 dump db to text for genanki-js js.txt

The diffchecker.com can be used to find the errors. I will update it, when it is solved.

Yes, there is a default deck insert automatically by genanki.py on collection.anki2

But with genanki-js does not

    }
}

The different is at table col, and column decks Open with SQLiteDatabaseBrowserPortable.exe collection by genanki.js.anki2.zip collection by genanki.py.anki2.zip

I have tested on AnkiMobile (iOs), apkg generated from genki-js work well. The only problem come from AnkiDroid

[krmanik]

Thansk for more insight. I will update it. It is helpful.

[krmanik]

It is fixed. I have added a default deck. Alternatively It can also be fixed by adding a deck (in previous version).

var d = new Deck(1276438724672, "Test::Deck")
var defaultDeck = new Deck(1, "Default")   // <---

d.addNote(m.note(['this is front', 'this is back']))

var p = new Package()
p.addDeck(defaultDeck)    // <---
p.addDeck(d)

p.writeToFile('deck.apkg') 

But I have added fix in current version. genanki.js#L370
