Your experience with wallabag Android app

I switched my phone this week and put all the effort into getting the log file. Wallabag has become essential in organizing my reading material. I would hate to switch to another product because I'm unable to use the app! Keep up the good work!

Thanks,
Glenn

I downloaded the APKs from github, decoded them with apktool and the differences seem to correspond to the git diff. Which shouldn't break anything (at least not without something relevant in the logs).

I don't have external storage installed on my phone.

I'm not sure how it's called these days, but I meant the "public storage" (which contains photos and stuff) as opposed to "internal/private storage" (which is separate for each app). I'm pretty sure the path in the logs (/storage/3A4D-7528/Android/data/fr.gaulupeau.apps.InThePoche/files/wallabag) is that "public storage", which should only be accessed by the app only if it was set in settings (Settings - Misc - Database location - External storage).

I set the DB location to "external storage", via adb (with root) edited the preferences file (/data/data/fr.gaulupeau.apps.InThePoche.debug/fr.gaulupeau.apps.InThePoche.debug_preferences.xml) changing storage.dbPath to a path that cannot be created and got very similar error (considering that I run different Android version it might as well be the same error).

My current theory (even though it's a bit far-fetched) is that something like this happens:

You install 2.2.4.
Something restores old settings from a backup.
You uninstall the app, install 2.2.3.
Nothing is restored because the version is lower than the one the backup was saved for.
You upgrade to 2.2.4.
Nothing is restored because it is an upgrade, not an installation.

@glego have you tried installing 2.2.3 then without starting the app updating it to 2.2.4?

Also when you do a clean install of 2.2.4, can you manually check and clean app data? Then start the app and if it crashes, clean the app data again and try to start it again.

Update: you may also check whether your new or old phone has that /storage/3A4D-7528/ path, but just out of curiosity, it won't really help much.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lnet/sqlcipher/database/SQLiteOpenHelper;

The line seems to be unrelated to this issue. It was already present in the log of issue #856

Hi,

I've installed the version 2.2.3 manually from github, and it seems to work fine. When installing 2.2.4 from github I get the same issue.

https://github.com/wallabag/android-app/releases/tag/2.2.3

https://github.com/wallabag/android-app/compare/9e9f9df...b7ef995

Edit:
When installing 2.2.3, configuring the app and then installing 2.2.4 it works.

glego on 30 Oct 2019

I'm pretty sure we don't need net/sqlcipher/database/SQLiteOpenHelper.

There's nothing in the diff between 2.2.3 and 2.2.4 that could cause a DB-related error.

/storage/3A4D-7528/Android/data/fr.gaulupeau.apps.InThePoche/files/wallabag seems like external storage, which we don't use by default.

@glego are you sure it is a clean installation? Maybe some kind of app data backup (by Google or Samsung) kicks in and restores incorrect settings? Can you try manually cleaning app data after installation? Can you also try the latest beta?

I'm actually able to reproduce the issue over and over by uninstalling the app and installing 2.2.4 or the2.3.0-beta.4 first. If I install the 2.2.3 first and then upgrade everything works fine.

I don't have external storage installed on my phone.

Removed assumptions...

My current theory (even though it's a bit far-fetched) is that something like this happens:

You install 2.2.4.
Something restores old settings from a backup.
You uninstall the app, install 2.2.3.
Nothing is restored because the version is lower than the one the backup was saved for.
You upgrade to 2.2.4.
Nothing is restored because it is an upgrade, not an installation.

@glego have you tried installing 2.2.3 then without starting the app updating it to 2.2.4?

Also when you do a clean install of 2.2.4, can you manually check and clean app data? Then start the app and if it crashes, clean the app data again and try to start it again.

This actually worked, so your theory seems to be right that something is restoring my settings (most likely google backup).

Can you try manually cleaning app data after installation?

I should have tested this, this actually worked. I installed 2.2.4 from the Google Play store, cleared the data and the app started.

you may also check whether your new or old phone has that /storage/3A4D-7528/ path, but just out of curiosity, it won't really help much.

It could be, the path sounds familiar, it was a Samsung S7 with external SD card.

Thanks allot for your time and effort, even though it is not caused by you guys... I'll try to find how to delete these backups from Google... I can't seem to find any setting to do this.

I donated another € 20 on PayPal (yesterday € 10), thanks allot.
