Why cant i open companion app?

[Diego (Diego Barreiro Pérez)]

Okey
So it was what I thought

It will be fixed for next version

[Boban (Boban Stojmenovic)]

@Diego

Try this companion:

Makeroid.apk (4.9 MB)

You may have to uninstall previous one due to I’ve used a temporal Keystore file just to test if works

This one works on Samsung S3 with android 4.3

[Diego (Diego Barreiro Pérez)]

Tomorrow I will explain the issue and how did I solve it

Also, thank you for the logs; they helped me to solve it

[Diego (Diego Barreiro Pérez)]

The error was in the AndroidManifest file
The launcher activity was called with ".Screen1" instead of "com.makeroid.companion.Screen1"
The ability to launch apps without including the package name was added in Android Lollipop, so that’s why it didn’t work in lower ersions

What is strange is that you can open any app with Makeroid, which are compiled with the same compiler as the Companion…
Can someone try to make an app and open in Android below Lollipop?

[Boban (Boban Stojmenovic)]

Working properly…

My android version is 4.0.4 and I can’t use this companion:

Try this companion:

Makeroid.apk (4.9 MB)

It crashes after a few minutes…
I use the App Inventor Companion to install the app.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 / 4.0.4

[Diego (Diego Barreiro Pérez)]

I think I have an old phone with Android 4.0 too
I will test tomorrow to discard possible issues

[Aleksandr_Strashko (Александр Страшко)]

I can send a log for Android 4.1.1, if that helps you.

[Diego (Diego Barreiro Pérez)]

I think I’ve already fixed in latest version @Aleksandr_Strashko

[Aleksandr_Strashko (Александр Страшко)]

Thanks for your work! Where can we download the corrected Companion?

[Sander (Sander Jochems)]

In the builder there is a button saying “about” click on that and select “companion information”

[Aleksandr_Strashko (Александр Страшко)]

Thanks, @Sander. I’m inaccurate in expressing my question. @Diego wrote that he fixed the error of running Companion on Android 4.x. Where can I download this revised version? The link “companion information” provides an old version (checked just now). I start it and get on android 4.1.1 the message “Unfortunately, Makeroid has stopped”

[Sander (Sander Jochems)]

Hmm. @Diego can you take a look at this

[Diego (Diego Barreiro Pérez)]

The one in the link below?

https://www.makeroid.io/files/companion.apk

Doesn’t it show the version 2.0.0?

[Aleksandr_Strashko (Александр Страшко)]

Yes. I download version 2.0.0 from the link https://www.makeroid.io/files/companion.apk, install it and when run on Android 4.1.1 and 4.2.2 get the message “Unfortunately, Makeroid has stopped”. On ARC Welder (API level 21) Companion 2.0.0. is started.
