Crash in Kindle Fire

miguel.angel.fuentes · February 13, 2012, 11:21am

Hi.
Amazon Appstore Account Team has denied my Kindle Fire game because:

Pressing the soft-key menu button casuse your app to crash in a Kindle Fire. It was found to be incompatible due to issues with the app’s interaction with the Kindle Fire soft keys or hibernation feature. Such issues may include force closes, crashes, loss of user progress or state, an unrecoverable black screen, and problems with audio.

I haven’t got a Kindle Fire but I guess my wrong source code is:

-- Key listener  
local function onKeyEvent( event )  
 print("onKeyEvent phase: " .. event.phase)  
 print("onKeyEvent keyName: " .. event.keyName)  
  
 if (event.phase == "UP" and event.keyName == "BACK") or (event.phase == "up" and event.keyName == "back")  
 or  
 (event.phase == "UP" and event.keyName == "MENU") or (event.phase == "up" and event.keyName == "menu")  
 then  
 audio.play( global.tapSound )  
 os.exit()  
 end  
  
 return true  
end

Any idea? It’s drives me crazy because it’s ok in a lot of Android devices (1.6 to 4.x) and even iOS.

Amazon Appstore Team just denied our app for the same reason. Have you found a solution to this problem?

Thanks

The function [lua]os.exit()[/lua] will force quit your application. As in it will terminate the app on the spot in a not so nice way (think CTRL+ALT+DEL), which can be interpreted as a crash. You should never call that function in an app.

Instead, you should call [lua]native.requestExit()[/lua]. That function will close the app gracefully. This function is only supported on Android at the moment. It will do nothing on iOS, which is by design since Apple will reject apps that exit themselves. Also, this function is a non-blocking call and will not exit the app immediately, meaning the lines below this function call will be executed until the Android accepts the app exit request.
