Those "false made-up" UPCs that I added back then had 15 digits instead of 13.
it seems the Android App cannot handle those and makes the app crash while reading the database.
Tho it is debatable if the app should crash because of this, but I guess the field just cannot handle the 15 digits instead of the 13.



Glad you sorted it. I agree it shouldn't really just crash, as the desktop program does allow UPCs outside the standard lengths, albeit with a warning. But in Ken's defence I don't think it's something many of us would have thought about when coding.

Hopefully he's seen this and addresses it in a future update.

I have to say the Android APp is one of the worst eps I ever came across, almost nothing is working.

Quote:
Sadly I have to say that this app is very badly programmed and that the 6 Euro were wasted on it.

Quote:
DVD Profiler app is really terribly programmed.

Quote:
I will certainly not root my phone , because one single app is not working.

Quote:
I am not willing to shut my phone completely down for hours just cuz of the app badly programmed.

Quote:
The app shuts itself down all the time, this IS bad programming.

Quote:
To have shut down my phone for hours or a day, just to get one app to work is indeed bad programming.

Quote:
What angers me that I really would have liked to have my collection with me on my cell and how such a non working beta software can be released to buy.

Quote:
Such a thing should never be allowed to sell.

Quote:
Only DVD Profiler again fails in this department.

Quote:
The fact that the application only works when everything else is shut down is stone age mentality.

Quote:
Many people had massive problems getting this app to work.

Quote:
It was nothing I did wrong.

Quote:
I added fake UPC's for some titles that did not have an UPC or which were bootlegs of some sort. In the end it was again the user (myself) who made the mistake.

I know how frustrating it can be when you can't figure something out. I'm glad to hear that you were able to get things working.

Glad to hear you found the error
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

While I've been experiencing crashes on my GS4 running 4.2.2, I am confident that Ken will eventually have this "early version" app on the road to stability.

Ken?  Thanks again for all of your hard work.
