Xamarin Wizard Project Can't Debug - android

So some background information. I am tasked with exploring writing cross platform native applications using Xamarin. Seems pretty basic so far and I'm liking what I'm reading. I have my Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise all set up and my remote mac configured on the network. I created a cross platform native app through the project creation wizard in Visual Studio. When I launch a debug session for the iOS app, it does start the target app in the simulator on the remote Mac. However, it never actually thinks it is running fully. It will hang at this output:
Launching 'PersonalProject.iOS' on 'iPhone 6 iOS 10.2'...
Loaded assembly: /Users/plm/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/B5A038B6-056F-4E6C-A59C-29ABD8C04CD0/data/Containers/Bundle/Application/2A1B11FF-6C59-4A9B-9CE3-7B8446B1AD48/PersonalProject.iOS.app/Xamarin.iOS.dll

Eventually, it will fail with something along these lines:
The app has been terminated.
Launch failed. The app 'PersonalProject.iOS' could not be launched on 'iPhone 6 iOS 10.2'. Error: An error occurred while executing MTouch. Please check the logs for more details.
I've checked the log file in question and it contains nothing more than the same exact phrase.
If I try and put a simple line of Console writing on the action of pressing the button:
public override void ViewDidLoad ()
{
base.ViewDidLoad ();
// Perform any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
Button.AccessibilityIdentifier = "myButton";
Button.TouchUpInside += delegate {
var title = string.Format ("{0} clicks!", count++);
Button.SetTitle (title, UIControlState.Normal);
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{0} clicks!"));
};
}
the debug session actually errors on this line 17 (UIApplication.Main) in the Main.cs file:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Foundation;
using UIKit;
namespace PersonalProject.iOS
{
public class Application
{
// This is the main entry point of the application.
static void Main (string[] args)
{
// if you want to use a different Application Delegate class from "AppDelegate"
// you can specify it here.
UIApplication.Main (args, null, "AppDelegate");
}
}
}
With Unhandled exception error:
Unhandled Exception:
System.FormatException: Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list.
Error while resolving expression: One or more errors occurred.
If I don't have the console log it will launch the app, but still hanges at those Loaded assembly lines. At this point, I can't hit any breakpoints in my code. I tried adding a breakpoint in the shared code for the button click but it would never hit it, even though the action was being carried out by the simulator.
I'm completely at a loss for how to proceed. I haven't touched anything out of the box of the wizard creation. I was hoping I could at least see the starter project working.
Any help is appreciated.

You are using
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{0} clicks!"));
The {0} is a placeholder for a value to output, but you never specify that value, that's why you are getting an error.
Use something like this instead:
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{0} clicks!", count));
or in C#6 syntax:
Console.WriteLine($"{count} clicks!");

Protractor locators does not work in PageObjectModel structure

Framework: Appium + Protractor + Cucumber + Typescript using POM model
I have the protractor framework for appium designed in POM structure
The initial page of the app will identify the locators calling in a different ts file and the functions such as tap, isDisplayed calling it in a different ts file.
But once it passes the initial pages in the app,say 3 pages. the locators are not identified which are calling other function, but they are identified when they are passed directly ( like driver.findelements(by.css('')).click ) this works.
The problem is I can't pass this code like this within the step definition .ts file always as it is not a good structure
Note: By the way, this script was working fine earlier.
tried to test using a different workaround, like building the binary again, trying to run on android and ios application, downgrading or upgrading the node packages. But nothing solved the problem. has anyone faced this kind of issue. Any suggestions or solutions for this problem, please?
Code which works: (Passing the locators directly in the function, rather than from the onboarding.ts file will work)
Then(/^VIC should be selected from the state or territory drop down$/, async () => {
await browser.driver.findElement(by.css('button[sp-automation-id=\'select-state-toggle\']')).click();
await browser.driver.findElement(by.css('page-action-sheet label[sp-automation-id=\'action-sheet-option-VIC\']')).click(); });
Code which does not work: (Onboarding.ts file contains the locators defined for State and VIC same as the above code block. But reading from there it does not work.)
Then(/^VIC should be selected from the state or territory drop down$/, async () => {
await AutomationAction.tap(Onboarding.State);
await AutomationAction.tap(Onboarding.VIC); });
Code which works (The below code is called before the above code block, it's a page before calling the above pages)
Then(/^I enter the mobile number and tap next button on the your mobile number screen$/, async () => {
MobileNo = AutomationAction.getMobileNumber("mobileNumber");
SameMobileNo = MobileNo;
await AutomationAction.sendKeyText(Onboarding.InputMobileNo,MobileNo);
await AutomationAction.tap(Onboarding.Next_BTN_YourMobileNumber);
});
Because of the page where it is failing the automation thinks its as non-angular page and the locators used to fail or not locate them when calling it in a different function. When I introduced browser.ignoreSycnhronization=true to make Angular sync for non-angular apps/pages it worked.

cordova.file.* (all directories) are null

I'm working on Ionic mobile app development.
My requirement is to create client side logger to track issues in app. I used the methods mentioned in https://github.com/pbakondy/filelogger, and I could able to create the log file in both Android and iOS.
For the first time when I open the app, it creates the log file in cordova.file.dataDirectory, when I close and reopen the app in i*OS, I'm trying to read the content of the file which was created using the below
$fileLogger.getLogfile().then(function (loggerContent) {
var temp =loggerContent;
});
But the application says
{
"applicationDirectory":null,
"applicationStorageDirectory":null,
"dataDirectory":null,
"cacheDirectory":null,
"externalApplicationStorageDirectory":null,
"externalDataDirectory":null,
"externalCacheDirectory":null,
"externalRootDirectory":null,
"tempDirectory":null,
"syncedDataDirectory":null,
"documentsDirectory":null,
"sharedDirectory":null
}
So I couldn't able to find the file where i saved my logs.
Please help me resolve this issue or if you could recommend me a different method to get around this issue, that would be great!
Thanks for the answers
There is a check list here and should solve your problem :
1-Be sure that the cordova-file-plugin is installed and works in your test environment.
2-Be sure that the cordova.js file is refrenced by your html and before your code usage.
3-Be sure to call your codes after device_ready state :
check this
4-Call your function after a short delay (use setTimeOut in Javascirpt)
Ali's item 4 is very important:
I had a similiar problem on different platforms: cordova.file.dataDirectory was null.
I tracked cordova.file.dataDirectory over the lifecycle and it was first accessed by my Ionic 2 code BEFORE the device ready event was fired.
My "mistake": I wanted to load data during the constructor(!) of a service. Seems too early.

C++ Builder WSDL client for Android

I'm having a confusing problem. I'm trying to make a Web cleint that uses WSDL.
I'm using C++ RAD Studio 10 Seattle, but the same problem occured in RAD Studio XE8(older version).
1.I create a Multi-Device Application, add one Edit component and one Button.
2.I create a WSDL Importer by changing the location of the WSDL file to : "http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/tempconvert.asmx?WSDL" and leave all other setting to default.
3.On ButtonClick event of the button I write two lines of code :
_di_TempConvertSoap Converter = GetTempConvertSoap(true,
"http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/tempconvert.asmx?WSDL");
Edit1->Text = Converter->CelsiusToFahrenheit("32");
So after these three steps I have one unit, which is the main Unit with the Form and with the button event. And one file "tempconvert.cpp" that the WSDL Importer has generated. It quite actually just translates the WSDL code to a C++ one and defines the method to communicate with the server. In my case I have two methods : FahrenheitToCelsius() and CelsiusToFahrenheit(), in the example I use CelsiusToFahrenheit().
I compile it to 32-bit Windows platform, run it and when I click the button, the result "89.6" appears in the text of the Edit component. So this is working as expected.
But when I change the target platform to "Android" and use my mobile phone "Samsung GT-I8262" with Android 4.1.2 and run the project, it just stops and exits. I debugged the problem and it stops at the first command in "tempconvert.cpp" in RegTypes() method.
// ************************************************************************
//
// This routine registers the interfaces and types exposed by the WebService.
// ************************************************************************ //
static void RegTypes()
{
/* TempConvertSoap */
InvRegistry()->RegisterInterface(__delphirtti(TempConvertSoap), L"http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/", L"utf-8");
InvRegistry()->RegisterDefaultSOAPAction(__delphirtti(TempConvertSoap), L"http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/%operationName%");
InvRegistry()->RegisterInvokeOptions(__delphirtti(TempConvertSoap), ioDocument);

InvRegistry()->RegisterMethodInfo(__delphirtti(TempConvertSoap), "FahrenheitToCelsius", "",
"[ReturnName='FahrenheitToCelsiusResult']", IS_OPTN);
/* TempConvertSoap.CelsiusToFahrenheit */
InvRegistry()->RegisterMethodInfo(__delphirtti(TempConvertSoap), "CelsiusToFahrenheit", "",
"[ReturnName='CelsiusToFahrenheitResult']", IS_OPTN);
/* TempConvertHttpPost */
InvRegistry()->RegisterInterface(__delphirtti(TempConvertHttpPost), L"http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/", L"utf-8");
InvRegistry()->RegisterDefaultSOAPAction(__delphirtti(TempConvertHttpPost), L"");
}
#pragma startup RegTypes 32
Does someone have any idea why this might be happening? I tried on two other Samsung phones and it didn't work. The error that shuts the program down is "Segmentation fault(11)", and more precisely it stops at the following line of code in "System.pas" file :
u_strFromUTF8(PUChar(Dest), MaxDestChars, DestLen, MarshaledAString(Source), SourceBytes, ErrorConv);
Here is some info that I've found about the function:
u_strFromUTF8 - function that converts a UTF-8 string to UTF-16.
UCHAR is a Byte(in Delphi), so PUCHAR is a pointer to Byte.
I cannot se what could possibly go wrong with this function which apparently only converts a string.
So my question is why does the project work on Windows 32 bit version, but on Android it throws Segmentation fault(11)?
I hope I could find a solution for this problem. I will keep looking.
Thank you,
Zdravko Donev :)
UPDATE:
I disassembled the line:
InvRegistry()->RegisterInterface(__delphirtti(TempConvertSoap), L"http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/", L"utf-16");
to get :
TInvokableClassRegistry *Class = InvRegistry();
TTypeInfo *Info = __delphirtti(TempConvertSoap);
UnicodeString Namespace = "http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/";
UnicodeString WSDLEncoding = "utf-8";
Class->RegisterInterface(Info, Namespace, WSDLEncoding);
And I saw that the problem occurs when calling InvRegistry() function, but I still haven't found the problem as I cannot reach the source code of the function.
I found a solution.
I deleted the line
#pragma startup RegTypes 32
and called the method RegTypes() on my own when I create the form and it worked.

Sencha 2.4 + cordova app failed to load on Android "TypeError: Result of expression 'b.onTargetTouchMove.bind' [undefined] is not a function. at..."

I created a cordova app using sencha touch 2.4 framework and sencha cmd, It works on iOS and the majority of Android devices.
The problem appears on some old devices like Galaxy Ace and GT-B5510 for example.
It get stuck on the blue loading screen and throws this error:
09-12 23:43:41.386: E/Web Console(373): TypeError: Result of expression 'b.onTargetTouchMove.bind' [undefined] is not a function. at file:///android_asset/www/app.js:1
is there any solution for this problem or i just have to exclude these devices?
This seem to be the same issue as described and answered in the following post:
Sencha touch 2.4 appLoadingIndicator stack on android 2.3.
ECMAScript 5 not supported on old android devices :
please replace this
if (Ext.feature.has.Touch) {
// bind handlers that are only invoked when the browser has touchevents
me.onTargetTouchMove = me.onTargetTouchMove.bind(me);
me.onTargetTouchEnd = me.onTargetTouchEnd.bind(me);
}
with
if (Ext.feature.has.Touch) {
// bind handlers that are only invoked when the browser has touchevents
me.onTargetTouchMove = Ext.Function.bind(me.onTargetTouchMove, me);
me.onTargetTouchEnd = Ext.Function.bind(me.onTargetTouchEnd, me);
}

Embedded Felix, running inside android-app cant resolve org.osgi.framework

i cant figure out why the following happens:
I am running an embedded apache felix from a small android application. I programmatically install 2 bundles after starting the framework, but both never enter the "resolved" state. Thereby the Bundle "MyBundle1" imports "MyBundle2".
This is what Logcat tells me:
05-17 20:21:56.514: ERROR/MainActivity(384): org.osgi.framework.BundleException:
Unresolved constraint in bundle de.xy.MyBundle1 [1]: Unable to resolve 1.11: missing
requirement [1.11] package; (package=de.xy.MyBundle2) [caused by: Unable to resolve 2.0:
missing requirement [2.0] package; (&(package=org.osgi.framework)(version>=1.5.0))]
I totally understand what the error-message says (well...org.osgi.framework in version 1.5+ cant be resolved) but i cant figure out why this happens. Why cant the framework resolve "himself"?! I tried to run the same felix.jar as standalone with the adb shell , and both bundles work. Ofcourse, the felix.jar is up to date (3.2)
Thanks for your advice!

} catch (BundleException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(MainActivity.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
I dont know if it has something to do with the previous problems:
05-18 08:52:59.149: VERBOSE/out(363): Problem creating boot delegation class loader: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
05-18 08:52:59.209: VERBOSE/out(363): ERROR: Error parsing system bundle export statement: (java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:A header cannot be an empty string.)
05-18 08:52:59.209: VERBOSE/out(363): java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: A header cannot be an empty string.
I install and start the bundles with
myBundle1= bundleContext.installBundle("file:/data/felix/MyBundle1.jar");
myBundle2= bundleContext.installBundle("file:/data/felix/MyBundle2.jar");
myBundle1.start();
they were previously dx'ed and moved to /data/felix with adb push.
The same code I used in the android-application also works inside a regular java console-app.
The way you build up the framework looks okay to me. You could consider
replacing the FRAMEWORK_SYSTEMPACKAGES by a list that is specific for Android, if your bundles will e.g. be using Activities), or
not using a temp file, but point to some directory you know exists.
We have used 3.0.1 in the past successfully, and I do have the idea that the error message you posted has something to do with it. You could try that version of Felix, and if that works, you may have found a regression in Felix, which you can then report to users#felix.apache.org .
