Fresh app works anywhere, except on Redmi devices!

Fresh Nativescript app (with no modification) stop working on Xiaomi Redimi 2 Prime smartphones. I have tested the same app on Sansung, Nexus, Genymotion and Android emulator. Everting goes well, except on Redimi 2. Here are the reporting log:

W/dalvikvm(24260):              in Lcom/tns/Platform;.callJSMethodNative:(ILjava/lang/String;IZ[Ljava/lang/Object;)Ljava/lang/Object; (CallVoidMethodA)

Redimi 2: Android 4.4
NativesScript 1.7.1

Copied from original issue: NativeScript/NativeScript#1851

In my opinion JSON.parse() is failing since some service/server returned HTML (most probably server error) instead expected JSON.

Do you have some workaround to fix it?

[enchev]

Any more info what components are used or how to replicate this behavior will be helpful. Do you get this error in some of our default modules? Or this is somewhere else in your app?

[enchev]

From @calebeaires on March 28, 2016 14:57

This error get on a pure nativescript install.

1. tns create example
2. tns platform add android
3. tns run android

This works on every device I have here (motorola, samsung, nexus), but when I run it on Redmi 2 Prime, from Xiaomi, the app stop working and it is closed.

[calebeaires]

I guess it is not the case, but for notice Redmi uses android 64-bit version

[calebeaires]

Some news about this issue!?

[Plamen5kov]

Hi @calebeaires,
I couldn't reproduce the problem on nexus 6 (x64) and on several emulators, which leads me to believe it's a specific problem with the Redmi 2 devices as you suggested. Unfortunately we don't have access to such devices.
If you can provide us with the full log maybe we can assist you to find the problem. You can get the full

• log by running the command

adb logcat > a.txt

and you can paste send us the a.txt file or pasting it's content somewhere.

• in the app.js file at the top of the file write:

__enableVerboseLogging();

As @enchev pointed out, this line:

org.json.JSONException: Value <!DOCTYPE of type java.lang.String cannot be converted to JSONObject

points to the problem being related to Json.Parse not being able to parse some HTML (probably an error page).

[calebeaires]

Debug logcat and terminal logs

1. logcat
2. terminal-prints

[Plamen5kov]

Hi @calebeaires,
please do:

 adb pull /system/framework/framework.jar .

and send us the file framework.jar
The file will be downloaded in the directory in which you ran the command.

[calebeaires]

Here is the file. I had to zip it, so I could send it from github
file.zip

[Plamen5kov]

@calebeaires, because the file contains no classes in it, can you list all files in the folder:

adb shell
cd /system/framework
ls -la

and paste the result here, so we can look for the size of each file there and find the right .jar file to download.

[harvey-woo]

Has any progress ?

[blagoev]

Found an issue with this device. we need to investigate further why this is happening only on Redmi 2 devices. I created another issue #445 to track it's progress

[calebeaires]

I guess it is related ti all devices that uses Miui Room, from Xiaomi

@Plamen5kov, is there some file you want check up?

[blagoev]

@calebeaires can you try running the app with NativeScript 2.0

Their might be a problem with the installed Android ROM on the device, but we suspect that it might be a packaging problem during the build. Somehow you get a version of the app that has API metadata for 5.0 and newer.

[calebeaires]

Even the Examples NativeScript (from Play Store) stop working sometimes, but it is more stable than a dev nativescript app. I sent the report from it by Android FeedBack ANR and here is one of my apps ANR reports by some user.

(This fail occurs on NativeScript 2.0 too!)

I tried to run an app I have made on past, using nativescript 1.7.1. App is installed and running. Is there some other information I can give you to help find the solution to this problem?

[Plamen5kov]

Hi @calebeaires

• Does the app fail on all devices or just "Xiaomi".
• What is the android api level of the failing devices? (e.g 4.4.4, 5.0, 6.0)
• Have you tried running the app with cli 2.0 instead of 1.7.1?

[calebeaires]

Hi. @Plamen5kov

1. Just Xiaomi Redmi 2 Prime (I tested on more then one Xiaomi devices).
2. Android 4.4.4 KTU84P (Miui Global 7.1.3.0)
3. I didnt run a new build on my mac with cli 1.7.1. I just installed an app I have made and published on Play Store when Nativescript was on 1.7.1. This app dont close after launch, works like a charm and stay functional on xiaomi redmi device: app play store link.
4. Like an simple and pure nativescript 2.0 tns create blank-app, another app I have made with cli 2.0 closes as soon as the app is opened (app link).

Do you need some file from /system/framework to take a look at this problem!

[Plamen5kov]

@calebeaires can you send me both framework.jar and framework2.jar from a redmi device.

 adb pull /system/framework/framework.jar .
 adb pull /system/framework/framework2.jar .

[thiagoa1]

I had the same issues on Redmi 2 Pro. Here are the files:

frameworks.zip

[Plamen5kov]

I've looked through the framework jars and I believe there are no different than the common ones for the specific android api level, so the problem might be somewhere else.

Could you try running the following NativeScript application using a newly installed cli ^2.0.1, on both redmi and other devices, so we can spot if there is difference in behavior.

How to install new cli:

npm uninstall nativescript -g
npm install nativescript -g

After you've installed the new cli run tns --version -> 2.0.1, just to be sure, and follow these steps:

• run commands

tns create redmiapp
cd redmiapp
tns platform add android

• go to redmiapp/app/app.js and append the following code:

//try {
var bundleInstance = new android.os.Bundle();
bundleInstance.putInt("myInt", 123);
//}
//catch (e ) {
//}

• run application

I hope you get back to me with the results.

[Plamen5kov]

@calebeaires we haven't heard from you in a while, so we're closing this issue. Feel free to reopen it.

[nahumd]

I had the same problem on my Xiaomi mi5 device and I found that it has to do with the MIUI permissions.
If you disabled the options from Xiaomi's Security app everything will work fine. The solution is simple:

1. Open the Security application
2. Press the gear icon (top right)
3. Go to the "Permissions" page
4. Disable the option "Install via USB"
5. Reboot if necessary (depends on the MIUI version)

[Plamen5kov]

@igorpetrov it should be fixed #628

[NickIliev]

Client reported this issue again with XIaomi Redmi 1 device and with NativeScript 2.5.0,
More can be found info n t.1088444

dump for bundle instance from ^^*

var extras = intent.getExtras(); // and extras is null
// I tried to add below lines, but it gives error "TypeError: bundleInstance.putInt is not a function"

Same problem here with Redmi 1s devices. Hey @NickIliev did you get the solution? I'm running on nativescript 3.0.3

[Plamen5kov]

@hamzahppa it would be very helpful if you could provide steps to reproduce the problem and describe what device were you using when the problem occurred.

[hamzahppa]

@Plamen5kov sure

Nativescript version : 3.0.3
Node.js version : v6.11.0
npm version : 3.10.10
Running on : OSX 10.12.5

Description

Hi, this issue happens only on my device Redmi 1S (HM 1S) Kitkat 4.4.4 KTU84P with MIUI version MIUI Global 8.2.1.0 (KHCMIDL).
This issue happens on fresh install of new project.

Step to reproduce

1. I create new nativescript with angular by running tns create HelloWorld --template nativescript-template-ng-tutorial
2. Change Directory to Helloword by running cd HelloWorld
3. Build project with tns build android I did not use tns run android because my usb is broken so, after finishing build, I copy the files inside platform/android/build/platform/apk/HelloWorld-debug.apk to my device (over wifi) and install it.
4. Launch it, and get this error

An uncaught Exception occurred on "main" thread.

We don't have redmi devices, and it's hard to reproduce the problem without one, but we'll try and fix it as soon as possible.

[Plamen5kov]

@shmox, that's a great idea. Please provide us with a link of instructions of some sort and I'll be sure to try and reproduce the problem.

[hamzahppa]

Hey @shmox @Plamen5kov I think the problem is not in the MIUI ROM version but the problem is in the android version. I find the problem only happened on MIUI ROM that use kitkat 4.4.4 as the android os version. FYI, MIUI has its own versioning with different android OS, for example, you can find the exact same version of MIUI 8 in different devices but when you check the android version, you will find that they have different version like Kitkat and Lolipop

Why?

Because finally I can run my nativescript app without problem after I buy a new Xiaomi device that run on Android 6.0.1 but still have the same MIUI version 8

This is the screenshot of device information

[Plamen5kov]

@hamzahppa thanks for the detailed information, now we have something to go on. We'll investigate further as soon as possible.

This was never a trivial fix. Perhaps it's time to close the issue and get a more modern device with an OS from more recent years.
