Debug logs

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to get provider com.transistorsoft.locationmanager.util.LogFileProvider: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.transistorsoft.locationmanager.util.LogFileProvider"

You Android OS 4.2.1 is too low.

Minimum I test for is 4.3.3

[antonsivogrivov]

Thanks, I understand

[christocracy]

I will certainly like to handle this error more gracefully.

[antonsivogrivov]

Maybe you can do support Android versions like in react-native? Minimum is 4.1

[christocracy]

I cannot support 4.1. I use specific APIs that RN does not.

[christocracy]

This is not primarily an RN module. This is a pure-native library that happens to have bindings for RN.

It has bindings for other platforms as well, such as Cordova and NativeScript.

The needs of the native library determine the min version, not RN.

[benjaminkoetting]

In this case API version 18 is the minimum for your plugin?

[christocracy]

The library itself is built for minSdkVersion 16. This may be lower than what React Native supports.

[benjaminkoetting]

yesterday I got the same error on a Samsung S3 with Androi 4.4.2 and with Android 4.3, which device do you use for version 4.3.3 testing?

[christocracy]

What is evryone’s compileSdk?

[benjaminkoetting]

compileSdkVersion 26 buildToolsVersion '26.0.2'

[antonsivogrivov]

compileSdkVersion 27 buildToolsVersion 27.0.3

[benjaminkoetting]

@christocracy can you reproduce it? is this something you have to fix, or is there a way we can handle or catch it?

[christocracy]

It’s not really something that needs to be caught. It’s a symptom of something not setup correctly.

Show me your $ adb logcat of app bottling from scratch.

[benjaminkoetting]

ok, hopefully that is what you need:

[christocracy]

As you can see, you have a whole raft of issues leading up to FileProvider error:

What version app-compat-v7 are you including?

[benjaminkoetting]

you mean this? sorry I'm not an android developer.

compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0"

[christocracy]

Show me your entire app/build.gradle

[benjaminkoetting]

please find attached and thanks for your support!

build-gradle.txt

[christocracy]

$ cd  android
$ ./gradlew app:dependencies

[christocracy]

Also, are you opening your app in Android Studio? It's probably showing a bunch of helpful build warnings.

[benjaminkoetting]

in adroid studio I see this warnings:

Warning:string 'catalyst_debugjs' has no default translation. Warning:string 'catalyst_element_inspector' has no default translation. Warning:string 'catalyst_jsload_error' has no default translation. Warning:string 'catalyst_jsload_message' has no default translation. Warning:string 'catalyst_jsload_title' has no default translation. Warning:string 'catalyst_reloadjs' has no default translation. Warning:string 'catalyst_settings' has no default translation. Warning:string 'catalyst_settings_title' has no default translation.

output from app:dependencies

dependencies.txt

[benjaminkoetting]

Just made a new Test with a Samsung S6 Version 5.0.2 with this the start is OK, Version 4.4.2 with Sasmsung S3 and S4 have the same error reported in this thread.

[christocracy]

I’m not surprised. You have messed up dependencies.

[benjaminkoetting]

ok, this will then have only effect below 5.0.2? I can check this with the dependencies command?

[christocracy]

Your problem is with react-native-mapbox including app-compat-v7:25.4.0

+--- project :mapbox-react-native-mapbox-gl
|    +--- com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-services:2.2.9
|    |    +--- com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-java-services:2
.    .
.    .
|    |    +--- com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.4.0 -> 27.0.2 (*)

The version of any appcompat dependency must correspond to your compileSdkVersion.

You're using compileSdkVersion 26 so your app (and all its dependencies) must require appcompa at 26+

[benjaminkoetting]

ah ok, thanks for your support. I will try to resolve the depencies problem and will test it again.

[christocracy]

You can analyze your own dependencies. Wherever you see an (*) is a conflict

[christocracy]

In the next commit I post, I’m going to allow configuration of the plugin’s compileSdkVersion, buildToolsVersion, playServicesVersion, appCompatVersion via gradle variables defined in your own app/build.gradle. I see some plugins beginning to do this now.

It will be explained more in the next PR I merge.

[benjaminkoetting]

sounds good, i have now delete the react-native-mapbox from the android project but get the same error, so must be a second library with dependencie problem.

[benjaminkoetting]

I had today a debug session with an android developer and he added this 5 lines of code to my MainApplication.java and now I can run my app on lower API Versions than 21

@Override
  protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
    super.attachBaseContext(base);
    MultiDex.install(this);
  }
