My app crashes when hitting the back button

patrick940 · December 16, 2013, 8:08pm

I’m new to corona and lua, so please forgive me in advanced.

The problem is my app crashes when I hit the Android back button. It’s supposed to go back to the Menu scene, which happens for a split second, then crashes on Android devices and the Android Emulator.

I setup adb to see the print commands as seen in the Debugging on Device Tips and Tricks thread, but I’m unable to pinpoint the problem… I basically need more information.

So basically this is what happens:

App starts and loads the “Menu” scene
User selects difficulty then proceeds to the next scene
Tap the “Back” button at any point
Loads the “Menu” scene for a split second
App crashes with a oh so helpful “Unfortunately, AppName has stopped.” dialog window.

main.lua (not complete, but hopefully the relevant parts)

local function onKeyEvent( event ) local keyName = event.keyName if (keyName == "back") then storyboard.gotoScene("menu") end end storyboard.gotoScene("menu") Runtime:addEventListener("key", onKeyEvent)

menu.lua (complete code)

local storyboard = require("storyboard") local scene = storyboard.newScene() local btnEasy local btnMedium local btnHard local btnVeryHard ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Event Listeners ----------------------------------------------------------------------- function gotoNextScene(difficulty) local options = { effect = "fade", time = 400, params = { difficulty = difficulty } } storyboard.gotoScene("memory", options) return true end ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Scene Listeners ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Called when the scene's view does not exist: function scene:createScene(event) local group = self.view --Difficulty buttons settings local buttonFontSize = 50 local red = 0.2549 local green = 0.5804 local blue = 0.9569 --Setup title local gameTitle = display.newText("Memory", 0, 0, FONT\_DEFAULT, 140) gameTitle.x = halfW gameTitle.y = halfH - 475 gameTitle:setFillColor(0.9294, 0.28627, 0.45882) --Setup logo local image = display.newImage(IMAGE\_FOLDER ..

Any info/tips would be appreciated. Perhaps if there is a way to get a crash report from the device/emulator?

Can you post the printout from the ADB crash log?

This is from running on the emulator. I hope it makes sense to you, because it doesn’t to me lol

Your first potential problem is using closures/anonymous functions in your addEventListener/removeEventListener:

btnEasy:removeEventListener(“tap”, function() gotoNextScene(DIFF_EASY) end)
btnMedium:removeEventListener(“tap”, function() gotoNextScene(DIFF_EASY) end)
btnHard:removeEventListener(“tap”, function() gotoNextScene(DIFF_EASY) end)
btnVeryHard:removeEventListener(“tap”, function() gotoNextScene(DIFF_EASY) end)

the problem here is that event listeners store the event type (i.e. “tap”) and the address of the function it supposed to call in a table. When you do a closure you get an address to the function created in the addEventListener(). Then when you call removeEventListener, it gets an address for the closure function and that’s a different address, so it can’t match it up with what’s in the saved table.

But likely what is crashing you is these lines in enterScene()

storyboard.purgeScene(“memory”)
storyboard.purgeScene(“guess”)

Perhaps something is getting destroyed in memory.lua or guess.lua that either has a transition still running against it, something being effected by a timer or a Runtime event, physics collision that’s still going on (you can turn your physics hybrid display mode on for that one), any thing that would have an onComplete function that’s getting called.

The fact that you see the scene for a brief second means you are getting to the enterScene() function and there really isn’t much else that would crash your app otherwise.

patrick940 · December 17, 2013, 3:14pm

Thanks for the reply.

For the listeners I changed my code to this…

btnEasy:addEventListener("tap", easySetup) btnEasy:removeEventListener("tap", easySetup) local function easySetup() gotoNextScene(DIFF\_EASY) end

It still crashed.

A little more info on the app. After the “Menu” scene, the “Memory” scene loads then alternates between the “Memory” and “Guess” scenes.

This is a pretty simple app to get my feet wet. The only onComplete function I have is for a sound. Other then the back button, there are no Runtime events. I’m not using any physics or timers either.

I removed the sound, but it still crashes.

I’m checking the memory usage using collectgarbage(“count”) it reports the same amount every time, so I’m assuming things are cleaning up nicely.

For fun, I commented out the purge

function scene:enterScene(event) --storyboard.purgeScene("memory") --storyboard.purgeScene("guess") end

I wasn’t too hopeful about this since it’s something new I added; the crash has been around for a while. It still crashed

rob · December 18, 2013, 2:32am

It may be time to put in print statements to try and narrow down where it’s happening.

Rob

patrick940 · December 19, 2013, 1:33am

I tried that today and put print statements EVERYWHERE, they were all hit. :( So something is happening after the code is run.

I even tried stripping down the app to its most basic, see the complete code below. It still crashes.

main.lua

local storyboard = require("storyboard") local function onKeyEvent( event ) local keyName = event.keyName if (keyName == "back") then storyboard.gotoScene("scene1") end end storyboard.gotoScene("scene1") Runtime:addEventListener("key", onKeyEvent)

scene1.lua

local storyboard = require("storyboard") local scene = storyboard.newScene() function scene:createScene(event) local group = self.view local btnEasy local function gotoNextScene() local options = { effect = "fade", time = 400 } storyboard.gotoScene("scene2", options) return true end btnEasy = display.newText("Scene 1", 0, 0, "", 50) btnEasy:addEventListener("tap", gotoNextScene) btnEasy.x = 200 btnEasy.y = 200 group:insert(btnEasy) end scene:addEventListener("createScene", scene) return scene

scene2.lua

local storyboard = require("storyboard") local scene = storyboard.newScene() function scene:createScene(event) local group = self.view local btnEasy local function gotoNextScene() local options = { effect = "fade", time = 400 } storyboard.gotoScene("scene1", options) return true end btnEasy = display.newText("Scene 2", 0, 0, "", 50) btnEasy:addEventListener("tap", gotoNextScene) btnEasy.x = 200 btnEasy.y = 200 group:insert(btnEasy) end scene:addEventListener("createScene", scene) return scene

I also added the back button code to the “Storyboard” example project in the main.lua file, it still crashes.

local function onKeyEvent( event ) local keyName = event.keyName if (keyName == "back") then storyboard.gotoScene("scene1") end end Runtime:addEventListener("key", onKeyEvent)

Am I doing something stupid? Could there be a bug with Corona? Maybe I’ll try re-installing everything tomorrow. :wacko:

Danny · December 19, 2013, 1:46am

can you try this:

local function onKeyEvent( event ) local keyName = event.keyName if (keyName == "back") then print( "Back pressed" ) storyboard.gotoScene("scene1") end return true end Runtime:addEventListener("key", onKeyEvent)

And tell me know many times “Back pressed” gets printed to the console?

patrick940 · December 19, 2013, 2:46am

I think I know where you’re going with this, I can only assure you I’m not double tapping lol. The “Memory” statement is coming from the next scene after the “menu” scene.

I still have the purge commented out, so it’s only the print statement.

function scene:enterScene(event) print("menu enterScene") --storyboard.purgeScene("memory") --storyboard.purgeScene("guess") end

This is a screen shot from the Emulator:

And from my test device (a tablet):

rob · December 19, 2013, 3:00am

I know exactly where Danny is going. There are two phases for the key press: “up” and “down”. If you don’t trap for that, you end up executing the code twice, once for “down” and once for “up”.

Rob

patrick940 · December 19, 2013, 3:34am

I don’t know where I stole my original code from, but I changed it to this:

local function onKeyEvent( event ) local keyName = event.keyName local phase = event.phase if (keyName == "back" and phase == "up") then print( "Back pressed" ) storyboard.gotoScene("menu") end end

The app still crashes *cries*

rob · December 19, 2013, 4:01am

I think I have it. You’re not returning true or false back to the system to know if it’s handling the event or not. A return of true means “Hey I handled that”. A return of false means “hey OS you need to take care of this”.

local storyboard = require("storyboard") local function onKeyEvent( event ) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; local keyName = event.keyName &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; local phase = event.phase &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if (keyName == "back" and phase == "up") then &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; print( "Back pressed" ) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; storyboard.gotoScene("scene1") &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; return true &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; end &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; return false end storyboard.gotoScene("scene1") Runtime:addEventListener("key", onKeyEvent)

The un-trapped up key was telling the OS to exit the app. It really wasn’t crashing.

Rob

patrick940 · December 19, 2013, 1:10pm

That was it. :lol:

Why is it always the simple solutions that cause the most grief? lol

Thanks so much for your help.

LairdGames · December 22, 2013, 10:24am

Hi guys, Very helpful post! Just a quick question: I am assuming that the onKey listener function need to be present ONLY in the main.lua and not on every scene right? (using Storyboard) Thanks a lot. I am starting converting an iOS app and the back button is giving a headache! Mo

patrick940 · December 22, 2013, 11:58am

That’s correct. Main.lua is where I have the “Best Answer” code. It’s global, so it doesn’t matter what scene your on when you click the back button, the listener function will be called.

rob · December 22, 2013, 7:22pm

You only need to catch the keys with one event listener. To me main.lua is the best place to do that.

Rob

LairdGames · December 23, 2013, 1:17am

Thanks Patrick, Rob. Yes I can see now why my app was behaving bizarre. I had the onKey listener on each scene!!

Cheers.
