CalendarbookingService causes App Crash on Android Platform

[morningstar84]

I want to report a bug related to the use of CalendarbookingService on android platform. Specifically, the invocation of the "search" function causes a crash of the application that you can not manage even with a try-catch block. An example of invocation is the following: CalendarbookingService calendarbookingService = new CalendarbookingService(session);

            long companyId = 10157;

            JSONArray groupIdArray = new JSONArray();
            groupIdArray.put(13601);

            JSONArray calendarIds = new JSONArray();
            calendarIds.put(13904);

            JSONArray calendarResIdArray = new JSONArray();
            calendarResIdArray.put(13630);

            JSONArray statuses = new JSONArray();
            statuses.put(0);

            JSONArray last = calendarbookingService.search(companyId, groupIdArray, calendarIds, calendarResIdArray, -1l , null, startTime, endTime, true, statuses, -1, -1, null);

The same code runs without problems on the iOs platform.

Thanks in advance for the help .

Which version are you using and which error are you getting on the logs?

[morningstar84]

I'm using the latest version of SDK (6.2.0.9) and I get a "RuntimeException" thats kills the app even if the code is surrounded by a try-catch block that catch "Exception"

[brunofarache]

Can you catch the RuntimeException to see what's wrong? In Android, when they are not caught, they also show up in the console.

[morningstar84]

"RuntimeException" is subclass of "Exception" but it fails to manage it. As you can see in the screenshot, the detail of exception is void while running in debug mode.

[brunofarache]

Ah, maybe if you were catching Throwable instead it would catch it?

Anyways, there's a newer version of the Android SDK that fixes an issue that maybe related to yours (issue #9). I have published it to Maven but I guess you are adding the .jar manually, I have also added it to the releases page:

https://github.com/liferay/liferay-mobile-sdk/releases/tag/android-6.2.0.14

[brunofarache]

You are using services that you generated yourself, right? You should also re-generate with the latest builder, because issue #9 also changes the way services are generated.

[morningstar84]

Yes, I made a custom service. I regenerated the services using the latest SDK: now the catch-block works as it should but catch (or throw) a void Exception (null). In the debugger I can't see nothing interesting.

Thanks for the help

I made some changes in my code with an explicit declaration of long type:

long companyId = 10157l;

            JSONArray groupIdArray = new JSONArray();
            groupIdArray.put(13601l);

            JSONArray calendarIds = new JSONArray();
            calendarIds.put(13904l);

            JSONArray calendarResIdArray = new JSONArray();
            calendarResIdArray.put(13630l);

            JSONArray statuses = new JSONArray();
            statuses.put(0l);

            JSONArray last = calendarbookingService.search(companyId, groupIdArray, calendarIds, calendarResIdArray, -1l , null, startTime, endTime, true, statuses, -1, -1, null);

Now, I'm getting a detail exception:

"com.liferay.mobile.android.exception.ServerException: No JSON web service action with path /calendar-portlet/calendarbooking/search and method null for /"

[morningstar84]

I solved the issue. The function search doesn't support "null" as value for keyword. JSONArray last = calendarbookingService.search(companyId, groupIdArray, calendarIds, calendarResIdArray, -1l , "", startTime, endTime, true, statuses, -1, -1, null);

And finally i get the result

[brunofarache]

I see, that error means the server can't infer which method you are trying to call.
