Crash on sending report

[Ajtak]

I want reporting crash in new version of Acra

 Failed to send crash reports for /data/data/[...]/app_ACRA-approved/2017-01-23T22:41:28.770+01:00-IS_SILENT.stacktrace

My Application header is:

@ReportsCrashes(formUri = "http://[...]/post.php",
        mode = ReportingInteractionMode.TOAST,
        httpMethod = HttpSender.Method.POST,
        resToastText = R.string.crash_toast_text)

and onCreate method is:

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {

        ACRA.init(this);
        super.onCreate();
    }

Version:

compile 'ch.acra:acra:4.9.2'

Please fix it

You can access a compiled version with the fix under

compile 'com.faendir:acra:4.9.3-SNAPSHOT'

repository:

maven {url = "https://oss.jfrog.org/libs-snapshot/" }

Note that this is my working directory and may not always contain a working version, but its a nice temporary solution until a new release is made.

I think wrong code:

    public void onCreate() {
        ACRA.init(this);
        super.onCreate();
    }

must be:

    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        ACRA.init(this);     
    }

This does not help. Still getting ACRA crashes trying to send report.

[F43nd1r]

The ordering of the super call and the init call do not matter. In fact we recommend to load ACRA even earlier, in attachBaseContext, see https://github.com/ACRA/acra/wiki/BasicSetup#configuring-acra---declaratively

Ran into this bug as well.
Tried to work around it by using the 4.9.3 SNAPSHOT, but it does not seem to be available anymore.
Are there any other workarounds?
Or will 4.9.3 with the fix be released soon?

[F43nd1r]

The snapshot is still up. There is currently no schedule for a release.

[DorianScholz]

You're right, my mistake!
The snapshot is working fine, thanks!

For me the snapshot doesn't work too. So I use an older version. This is bug only in version 4.9.2. So I include version 4.9.1 and it works well.
