Dear all,
this is simple (but I didn’t find any answers on the forums): how do I debug my app on an Android device?
On the simulator my app works, but on the device, when I open a native.showWebPopup, I see some weird images for a split second, and then the popup disappears.

One additional piece of information: this seems like a bug.
If I remove the html anchor from the URL, so given a “a name=text” in the html, I don’t ask for “index.html#text”, but simply “index.html”, the web popup is correctly shown.
However, it seems that the weird images are related to an incorrect disposal of the popup. I don’t know how to remove them, I just wrote a simple listener:
local function listener( event )
local shouldLoad = true
local url = event.url
--print("url = " .. url)
-- Close the view
if 1 == string.find(url, "corona:close") then
-- Close the web popup
--native.cancelWebPopup()
shouldLoad = false
director:changeScene(contents.targetScene, "crossFade")
end
-- Error handler
if event.errorCode then
-- Error loading page
--print( "Error: " .. tostring(event.errorMessage))
shouldLoad = false
end
return shouldLoad
end I tried to use native.cancelWebPopup(), but the simulator dies. Am I doing something I should avoid? [import]uid: 94362 topic_id: 23241 reply_id: 93037[/import]
I don’t know much about Android but I can point you in a direction for debug. There’s a program that ships with Android SDK called DDMS. In there you can see the debug of any device you got connected by wire.
You’ll probably get some useful information there. [import]uid: 61899 topic_id: 23241 reply_id: 93055[/import]
If you dont want to debug by wire, you can always load the app call ‘logcat’.
It will display all messages that go to the system console.
You will see ‘everything’ - including all the chatter from the system processes.
Add a filter for “corona” - and then you should see only the messages from your app.
Good luck! [import]uid: 9070 topic_id: 23241 reply_id: 93061[/import]
