I want to check exceptions and errors in my game in built up, but there is no debug console in game so I want to make one. Is there any way to get those errors from original console and write it on screen?
You can add a callback function to Application.logMessageReceived to receive the Debug.* messages. For example:
void Awake(){
Application.logMessageReceived += HandleLog;
}
private void HandleLog(string logString, string stackTrace, LogType type) {
// add them to some UI component for visualizing
}

For some reason, I am unable to get the FB.LogAppEvent to work inside an android application built with Unity.
Based on the documentation I've read, the code below should work. But it's not producing results inside the analytics dashboard. You'll notice a method that produces an Android toast that confirms activation. This toast does appear on application start. I've tried multiple event types, including custom types from code generated by Facebook's event generator in the event documentation.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/app-events/unity
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/unity/reference/current/FB.LogAppEvent/
private void Awake()
{
if (!FB.IsInitialized)
FB.Init( () => { OnInit(); } );
else
ActivateFacebook();
}
private void OnInit()
{
if (FB.IsInitialized)
ActivateFacebook();
else
ShowAndroidToastMessage("Failed To Initialize Facebook..");
}
private void ActivateFacebook()
{
FB.ActivateApp();
ShowAndroidToastMessage("Facebook Activated..");
FB.LogAppEvent(AppEventName.ActivatedApp);
}
I suppose the problem is in the way you send event
There are two methods for that:
LogAppEvent(string logEventName);
LogAppEvent(string logEventName, float valueToSum, Dictionary parameters = null);
You are using second method with "valueToSum" = 0, and that indicates there is nothing to sum, so your event probably gets skipped at some point.
You should use the first method
FB.LogAppEvent(AppEventName.ActivatedApp);
Also make sure your analytics is enabled in dashboard.
Do you see any built in analytic events? Feg. App Launches and other Standard events should be visible out of the box.
For me, LogAppEvent(...) successfully works with the Facebook Events Tracker and Analytics when you do a development build with Unity. When I switch to a release build, I then do not get any of the LogAppEvents other than the ActivateApp() notification.
Will update my answer when I get it working with a release build.
I'm trying to add a BackdoorMethod to a Xamarin.Forms application to bypass the login (IDP - opened in chrome browser) step. I have the feeling that the method is not getting triggered, but not sure, and I don't know how could I make sure about it.
I've read the documentation here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/appcenter/test-cloud/uitest/working-with-backdoors
Check this thread: https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/85821/xamarin-uitest-backdoor-on-droid-with-splash-screen-how-do-i-access-my-mainactivity
Checked this example: https://github.com/brminnick/UITestSampleApp/tree/master/Src
In the MainActivity.cs file I've defined the BackdoorMethod:
[Preserve, Export(nameof(BypassLoginScreen))]
public string BypassLoginScreen()
{
// some additional code here. the code is working, when I called it
// directly from OnCreate it was executed without any error
return "called";
}
From the test case i'm trying to invoke it like:
public constructorMethod(Platform platform)
{
this.platform = platform;
app = AppInitializer.StartApp(platform);
var result = app.Invoke("BypassLoginScreen"); // result == "<VOID>"
}
I'm not getting any error message, the method simply not called, or not returns anything. (or i don't know what's happening there with it, because breakpoint also not working as the app started from the device)
This should be already working. I have similar code and it works for me.
you can add inside your function
Android.Util.Log.WriteLine(Android.Util.LogPriority.Info, "BypassLoginScreen", $"Some text as info");
And observe the result in Device Logs, Filter by BypassLoginScreen to see if there is any log created with the tag BypassLoginScreen
I've been trying to get errors to display in a text field within the app for ease of error reporting from users.
I've had some success using this code I found on stackoverflow. It's used at the top level of the app but it's not working on device:
//start code
this.loaderInfo.uncaughtErrorEvents.addEventListener(UncaughtErrorEvent.UNCAUGHT_ERROR, errorHandler);
function globalErrorHandler(event:UncaughtErrorEvent):void
{
var message:String;
//check for runtime error
if (event.error is Error)
message = (event.error as Error).getStackTrace();
//handle other errors
else if (event.error is ErrorEvent)
message = (event.error as ErrorEvent).text;
else
message = event.error.toString();
//do something with message (eg display it in textfield)
myTextfield.text = message;
}
//end code
At first this wouldn't work on the device and I thought it was because upon the error, when developing on the pc, flashplayer would display the actionscript popup with the error. Which you would need to click "dismiss all" or close and then the globalErrorHandler was called after and then the error written to the textfield. I thought this is what was keeping it from showing up on the device. However, by adding event.preventDefault() I was able to suppress the actionscript popup when developing on the desktop and the error was written to the textfield successfully. This was not the case however on the andriod device. It still just hangs on the error. It's as if the default error event cannot be suppressed on android.
Thanks for your time. Any help appreciated!
EDIT 22/09/2017: I was able to see the error on device finally. It had to do with while on desktop publishing the error would be shown. However, on device the behavior was different and something was covering the textfield, by bring it to the front on error I was able to see it. However, I still see that some errors deeper in the class hierarchy are not being caught.
In our project we have it simpler (and it is working):
stage.loaderInfo.uncaughtErrorEvents.addEventListener(UncaughtErrorEvent.UNCAUGHT_ERROR, onUncaughtError);
private function onUncaughtError(e:UncaughtErrorEvent):void
{
// Console is basically a TextField for debug/diagnosis output.
if (e.error) Console.error(e.error.getStackTrace());
e.preventDefault();
}
The other thing you should probably check is whether your TextField actually displays any text at all for there might be text embedding issues, unrelated to the error handling routine.
UPD: Loading SWFs so it doesn't mix with the parent.
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(path);
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext;
context.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
var loader:Loader = new Loader;
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError);
loader.load(request, context);
I tried to send a custom data with acra(and without crashing my app) with these 2 lines
ACRA.getErrorReporter().putCustomData("myKey", "myValue");
ACRA.getErrorReporter().handleException(null);
But in the report that I received was just:
Report requested by developer
The problem is that in my report there was no "myKey" or "myValue". How can I fix that? Maybe the problem is that I didn't include some specific Report Fields?
After that I tried with just
ACRA.getErrorReporter().handleException(null);
and it worked as with 2 lines above??
ACRA is designed to capture unhandled exceptions. It also provides functionality to silently send handled exceptions. Sending null is way outside its design parameters.
Try sending an actual exception.
I did a little workaround to group specific messages sent by it's exception. I introduced "FakeException" and removed stack trace so the message would be smaller.
public class FakeException extends Exception {
#Override
public Throwable fillInStackTrace() {
return null;
}
#Override
public void setStackTrace(StackTraceElement[] trace) {
super.setStackTrace(null);
}
}
Now You can create another Exception that extends FakeException and do something like this:
public void SendUserReport(String reportText){
ACRA.getErrorReporter().putCustomData(USER_REPORT_CONTENT_TAG, reportText);
ACRA.getErrorReporter().handleSilentException(new NotificationFromUserFakeException());
ACRA.getErrorReporter().removeCustomData(USER_REPORT_CONTENT_TAG);
}
The following picture shows this report in Acralyzer (awesome software, definitely use it).
Lately, I have been trying to add static interstitial ads into my Unity game. For some reason, I could not get the system to show anything, or even react to me. After trying to work with the base Chartboost plugin, I tried to match a tutorial that I was following and purchased Prime31's Chartboost plugin and have been using that. However, neither the base plugin, nor Prime31's plugin, seem to be allowing me to show any ads. The code is pretty much done inside a single object, and it seems simple enough.
public class Advertisement : MonoBehaviour {
public string chartboostAppID = "5461129ec909a61e38b1505b";
public string chartboostAppSignature = "672b3b34e3e358e7a003789ddc36bd2bc49ea3b5";
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
DontDestroyOnLoad(this.gameObject);
ChartboostAndroid.init (chartboostAppID, chartboostAppSignature, true);
ChartboostAndroid.cacheInterstitial(null);
}
void OnLevelWasLoaded(int level) {
ChartboostAndroid.cacheInterstitial(null);
if(Application.loadedLevelName == "Network Lobby") {
showAds();
}
}
public static void showAds() {
Debug.Log("Showing ad");
ChartboostAndroid.showInterstitial(null);
}
}
As you can see, it's pretty straightforward. This object is created at the game's splash screen, which appears only once, and it's never destroyed until the program ends. The goal is, whenever I enter the lobby scene, I want to see an ad before going to the lobby's menus. As it is, I do see the log printing "Showing ad", so I know the function is being called. However, nothing appears. Do I need to disable the GUI system first? Is there a step I'm missing?
I have already performed the following steps:
I have created and registered the app with chartboost, as well as double and triple checked the AppID and App Signature.
I have created a publishing campaign and registered it to the app.
I double-checked the orientation and confirmed that it's correct.
I registered this specific device as a test device.
The tutorial showed a call to ChartBoostAndroid.OnStart(), but there was no function like that for me to call. Perhaps that is from an older version?
I emailed Chartboost support and have not heard from them yet. I do not have that much time on this project, so if anyone can offer help, I'd appreciate it.
