Title: Force Close bug.
Post by: scott on July 28, 2011, 06:25:02 pm
Keep getting a force close error when I try to view my Steam collection in the app.

It was the registered icon in Warhammer.

I get a force close error when viewing, PS2[NA], and XBLA[NA] with the app.

I'll look through your collection and see if I notice anything special. It is usually caused by some invalid characters in the titles.

@jonathonstriker Zeit² is causing the FC in  XBLA[NA] but I have no clue what is doing it in PS2. Still investigating.

I also get a force close when trying to view PS2. I also can't use the Browse or Settings buttons on the home screen. I don't know if that's a bug or if you just haven't implemented them yet. I'm using an Xperia Play if it matters.

Edit: Just looked through PS2 and I think it might be Xenosaga II, if the app doesn't like the umlaut in the title.
Double Edit: It also seems to break the Amazon search at the bottom of the page as well.

@climhazzard Nice find. I'm looking into this now. Thanks.

I think I have it corrected. Could you guys check things out and see if you still get the FC. Appreciate it.

Yup it's fixed for me now, I no longer get the force close.

I just got a forced close on my Android. I didn't read why, though. I ignored it out of habit. If it happens again, I'll share what it said. It's most likely just my phone, it acts weird sometimes.

It's probably due to an illegal character in one of the game titles but trust me, the code isn't error free yet ha.

Sorry, just got back to checking the forum. Yes both XBLA and PS2 now work. Thank you for the fix!

I get a FC when I'm jumping around between the main menu options back to my collection.  If I go to search or about, then back to my collection it throws the FC.  Also the browse and settings button do nothing on my phone.  Motorola Droid X.

@jeffsgames actually matt hasn't set up that part of the app yet, so the browse and settings icons don't do anything for anyone. ;)

@scott  That's what I figured.  I didn't see any other post about so just in case I thought I'd mention it. Great job so far!

I've designed a new layout which removes the settings button and replaces it with a wishlist button. We are working on making the item pages more clean with a nicer layout as well.

I look forward to seeing the progress of the program. This is pretty exciting to have this tool on my phone.  It's very helpful when I am looking through the used game stores.

I can reproduce a force close every time but changing the angle of the phone. So it switches to horizontal then the loading thing comes up. If i switch it back so it goes verticle, then the app will crash.

Is there a way to set it to not change orientation when you turn the phone over?

Unfortunately the app hasn't been updated in forever. Our official response is to use the mobile site instead.

I have been meaning to report that I have gotten a force close bug many times in different places on my Galaxy S3, but I was under the impression that android app development was on hiatus for a while now, but would possibly resume after the update....  Should I keep track of this stuff for later~?
