widget error

enormushexx · November 23, 2014, 11:28pm

Why did I get this error in my phone:

RUNTIME ERROR

/Users/jenkins/slaveroot/workspace/Templates/label/android/subrepos/widget/widgetLibrary/widget_button. lua 595: attempt to index local ‘view’ ( a nil value)

Can you post your widget.newButton() code?

I suspect you may be trying to create an image button and you are not passing a valid image name to widget.newButton(). If it works in the Corona Simulator, but not on device, then perhaps you have a case sensitivity issue. Filenames in Windows and OS-X are not case sensitive where they are on Android and iOS.

Does the image: quiz/startButton.png actually exist?

Is it really named startButton.png and not startbutton.png or startButton.PNG or some other combination?

sdesai191 · December 30, 2014, 1:34am

Getting the exact same issue as well here, definitely not a case sensitivity issue as I double checked the code and also renamed the files so they wouldn’t interfere with functions named in a similar fashion.

display.setDefault( "background", 255, 255, 255 ) widget = require ("widget") local neverGiveup = audio.loadStream( "NGU.mp3" ) local function musicplay ( event ) if ("event == end.phase") then local playmusic = audio.play( neverGiveup ) end end local startbutton = widget.newButton { width = 190, height = 190, defaultFile = "startButton.png", overFile = "startButtonPressed.png", onEvent = musicplay, } startbutton.x = display.contentCenterX startbutton.y = display.contentCenterY

Can you copy/pasted the exact error you’re getting? The error at the top appears to be from the poster using the open source version of the widget library, but more specifically that error happens if the default file fails to load. Are these files in the folder with main.lua or are they in a sub directory?

Rob

sdesai191 · December 30, 2014, 4:04pm

These files are located along side main.lua and not in a sub folder, the app runs fine on the simulator, but not on my device.

The error I get is also

RUNTIME ERROR

/Users/jenkins/slaveroot/workspace/Templates/label/android/subrepos/widget/widgetLibrary/widget_button. lua 595: attempt to index local ‘view’ (a nil value)

I’ve tried running the app on both my Nexus 5 and Moto X (2014) both return the same error.

rob · December 30, 2014, 5:49pm

There should be a stack trace that goes with it in your console log. Can you provide a directory listing of the files?

Rob

sdesai191 · December 31, 2014, 1:29am

Here’s what is returned in the console while running the app, is it possible that the issue occurs when building the app and that the images are not included? Because when building the only items excluded are the default app icons…

It’s possible to exclude files in you build.settings. Can you produce a list of the files in the folder with your main.lua? Also post your build.settigns.

Rob

sdesai191 · January 1, 2015, 8:07pm

build.settings

config.lua

default-568h@2x.png

all the default app icons

main.lua

NGU.mp3

startButton.png

startButtonPressed.png

all of these files are inside the root folder of the app

settings = { orientation = { default = "portrait", supported = { "portrait", } }, excludeFiles = { iphone = { "Icon-\*dpi.png", }, android = { "Icon.png", "Icon-Small-\*.png", "Icon\*@2x.png", }, }, -- -- iOS Section -- iphone = { plist = { UIStatusBarHidden = false, UIPrerenderedIcon = true, -- set to false for "shine" overlay --UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend = true, -- uncomment to quit app on suspend CFBundleIconFiles = { "Icon.png", "Icon@2x.png", "Icon-60.png", "Icon-60@2x.png", "Icon-60@3x.png", "Icon-72.png", "Icon-72@2x.png", "Icon-76.png", "Icon-76@2x.png", "Icon-Small.png", "Icon-Small@2x.png", "Icon-Small@3x.png", "Icon-Small-40.png", "Icon-Small-40@2x.png", "Icon-Small-50.png", "Icon-Small-50@2x.png", }, --[[-- iOS app URL schemes: CFBundleURLTypes = { { CFBundleURLSchemes = { "fbXXXXXXXXX", -- replace XXXXXXXXX with your Facebook appId } } } --]] } }, -- -- Android Section -- android = { usesPermissions = { "android.permission.INTERNET", }, }, }

The build.settings was left untouched

bjsorrentino · January 2, 2015, 7:30pm

Hi @sdesai191,

Can you post the code for your config.lua file? Are you using dynamic image selection via suffixes, i.e. @2x and/or @4x?

Thanks,

Brent

rob · January 2, 2015, 10:45pm

Also try leaving the excludeFiles section of your build.settings out.

Rob

sdesai191 · January 3, 2015, 2:06am

I believe the issue may lie within image size (although I doubt it) , running another app that I made with the exact same build.settings and config.lua the other app runs fine. the only difference lies within this app’s images sizes. With the working one having 300 x 300 pngs while this one uses larger 400 x 400 pngs. Plus I didn’t use any @2x/4x suffixes with either app
