[Kevin Brosnan [Ex-Mozilla]]

Fabrice is this your project? If so where should bugs live?

Comment 2

[[:fabrice] Fabrice Desré]

com.starkravingfinkle -> mfinkle, how could I dare reusing that!

Comment 3

[Michael Comella (:mcomella) [NI reported issues only: ex-Mozilla]]

If API 22 is referring to the Android M preview (and not 5.1), I think we're currently crashing at runtime on M devices.

Comment 4

[Talha]

I'm using 5.1 right now. I followed this guide: http://www.ncalexander.net/blog/2014/07/10/build-your-own-browser-a-maven-repository-for-geckoview/ to create the project and then imported it into Android Studio. When I launch the app onto my avd, the app crashes. Am I doing something wrong or is this a known issue? I've looked everywhere for answers but there are no resolutions to this.

Comment 5

[Talha]

Are you confused by my last post? I'm sorry, I'm new to Bugzilla and still find it a little hard to understand Bugzilla lingo.

Comment 6

[Mark Finkle (:mfinkle) (use needinfo?)]

Looks like someone is using my github example, GeckoBrowser which uses GeckoView, and the code is crashing.

Maybe Jim's recent fixes to GeckoView have fixed this? Otherwise, we really don't track bugs for general GeckoView-based apps.

Comment 7

[(inactive) Jim Chen [:jchen] [:darchons]]

Yeah this should be fixed by bug 1166309 (different crash but same fix).

Comment 8

[Michael Comella (:mcomella) [NI reported issues only: ex-Mozilla]]

Talhaali, no, I understood - the tracking-fennec=? flag is set to add the bug to our triage queue (which we use to determine whether or not we should prioritize this bug for fixing).

It looks like your GeckoView resources may be out of date. You can download the latest here (assumes Android version > 2.3.x):

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/nightly/latest-mozilla-central-android-api-11/

Try that out and let us know how it goes.

Mark, can you update your github README for the new latest-moz-central split-APK URIs?

Done

Thanks Michael, I grabbed everything from the link and now I have it working. I appreciate all of the help!
