android issue 2373 (missing intent category_launcher or flat_activity_reset_task_if_needed), restarting app

You must Login before you can answer or comment on any questions.

This is a store launch only issue and can't be duplicated when pushing the app locally onto the device (Toshiba Thrive, ICS 4.04) from Titanium.

This seems to be an Android bug that others are dealing with: https://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/TIMOB-4941 https://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/TIMOB-1559

I've applied the work around: <property name="ti.android.bug2373.disableDetection" type="bool">false</property> <property name="ti.android.bug2373.restartDelay" type="int">500</property> <property name="ti.android.bug2373.finishDelay" type="int">0</property> <property name="ti.android.bug2373.skipAlert" type="bool">false</property> <property name="ti.android.bug2373.message">An application restart is required</property> <property name="ti.android.bug2373.title">Restart Required</property> <property name="ti.android.bug2373.buttonText">Continue</property>

I am still having this issue after pushing this update onto Google Play.

Any ideas?

  • Great! Locked onto it. Does this mean I can dump the fix code noted above from tiapp?

  • I keep only this: 

    <property name="ti.android.bug2373.finishfalseroot" type="bool">true</property>
    It should work ok, not tested yet from googleplay, but the restart issue existed before when the app were opened from the recent apps menu

the new 2.1.2 release of the SDK should solve this issue now.

  • Is it really solved on the current 2.1.2GA release? I updated it on my mac, rebooted, changed the SDK version on my app to 2.1.2, and removed all bug2373 properties but the finishfalseroot.

    Now I'm testing my app Spotfav (published for iOS/Android) on a Sony Tablet (Android 4.0.3), when I send the app using "Run - Send to Device - Android" and try to run it for wherever I can, I get the message "Unfortunately, Spotfav has stopped".

    Does it has anything to do with this issue? I'm doing the same with an Android phone and everything works fine.

    I'm wondering what will happen if I send my app to Google Play. I'm afraid that users will get this error, that makes impossible to run the app.

    Thank you very much

  • Ok, don't know what happens... I downloaded again the app from Google Play (with the reboot issue) and now it can't be started when opened in landscape, and it works when opened in portrait, it doesn't happens on other devices :(

  • So I thing it must be another bug (sorry for multiple comments).
