CC wouldn't open on Fire HD 8

Purple Lady · 02-01-2016, 05:37 PM

I reset my Fire HD 8 because I was having a lot of battery use when the device was sleeping. After the reset was done I reinstalled CC 4.3.4.3 but it wouldn't even open. After clearing data, uninstalling and reinstalling it still wouldn't open. I then cleared data, uninstalled and installed 4.3.4.2 because I knew that version installed ok previously. That version opened ok so I then installed 4.3.4.3 again and everything is good now.

Here's the debug log from when it wouldn't open:

Thanks!

Oddly enough I found that same exception this afternoon while testing the pre-alpha version of CC that uses the new Android compatibility stuff. The problem arises because of the order of some checks. If CC checks for a valid language before the database has been set up it tosses that exception. Installing and running the previous beta set up the database so that the "bad" beta didn't fail.

I will be making a new release of CC V4 sometime in the next few days. This will probably be the last V4 release, and also the last release that supports Gingerbread and Honeycomb.
