Talk-android: App crashs when pressing on participants of a conversation

[dorpauli]

Steps to reproduce

1. Navigate to a group conversation
2. Navigate to the conversation settings
3. Press on a random participant (also yourself) and see the app crashing immediately

Expected behaviour

I don*t know, but not crashing. Maybe show information about that person?

Actual behaviour

The app is crashing and closes immediately

Device information

Device: Oneplus 7T

Android version: LineageOs 18.1 latest nightly

Talk version: 12.0.0 Alpha 15

Server information

Nextcloud version: 21.0.2

Talk version: 11.2.2

Custom Signaling server configured: no

Custom TURN server configured: no

Custom STUN server configured: no

Server log (data/nextcloud.log)

Nothing about this

[dorpauli]

I can still repoduce it with Version 12.1.0 RC1.

[AndyScherzinger]

@dorpauli could you provide the error log as in the logcat / stack trace please? ❤️

[dorpauli]

I don't know about such a log. I think it's a development tool? I don't have a development environment.

Or could i get such a log with adb? Do you have a guide to get this log?

And can't you reproduce the crash?

[jakobroehrl]

Can't reproduce it on my Oneplus 7T.
Maybe removing and reinstall the app helps?

[AndyScherzinger]

And can't you reproduce the crash?

I can't :( - I guess it is because I don't have an account with the matching permissions, so I can't execute any actions on the participants list.

Or could i get such a log with adb? Do you have a guide to get this log?

Yes, adb would work, here is a description (for the files app, not the talk app; but it should work anyways)
https://github.com/nextcloud/android#getting-debug-info-via-logcat-mag

[AndyScherzinger]

I think the string you'd use for the grep would be com.nextcloud.talk2

[AndyScherzinger]

@nickvergessen can you reproduce this issue and maybe post a log?

[dorpauli]

Is this helpful? I just started logcat and reproduced the crash afterwards. This is the output i can assign to nextcloud talk.

[AndyScherzinger]

Is this helpful?

Yes, absolutely! 👍

Thanks, while I can't say what the root cause of this is I can at least say it is the log of the actual crash you described 👍

[dorpauli]

I could grep more log entries around the crash now.

@dorpauli can you check (install(test) https://github.com/nextcloud/talk-android/pull/1359#issuecomment-867635580 which contains a fix and installs a separate QA (Quality Assurance) build of the app?

[dorpauli]

I have. Now the crash don't happen, if i press on myself. But if i press on other participants, it still crashes.

I logged it again, but the log contains a lot private information. (i took the new app name,)
This are the latest entries and the only one bug related i think (older logs happened 10 secs before):

[AndyScherzinger]

Hmm, the last line of your log is the important one put has been cut off :( - Can you reproduce it? There should be a line info at the end of that log-line.

[AndyScherzinger]

Can you try https://github.com/nextcloud/talk-android/pull/1359#issuecomment-867692486 which should have a fix for that too :)

[AndyScherzinger]

@nickvergessen I am bullet proving the code here atm but was asking myself if participant.attendeePin can be null because the Android-side of the API doesn't reflect that explicitly - but if so we could make this more explicit :)

[nickvergessen]

It might be missing completely if the api version is not >= 3

[dorpauli]

@AndyScherzinger That fixed it. I can now make the group members to moderators or kick them. 😄
