I'm having a problem starting an activity in a downloaded feature module when it's published to the play store. It always crashes on setContentView() in the downloaded modules activity.
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{xxx/xxxActivity}: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x7e080000

The really strange part is that if I publish a new version of the app (only change is versionCode) to play store and update the app everything works perfectly.
When I uninstall the app and install it again the crash returns.
my Application is inheriting SplitCompatApplication() and just to be sure I've since tried to add:
override fun attachBaseContext(newBase: Context?) {
super.attachBaseContext(newBase)
SplitCompat.install(this)
}
to the activty in the feature module and disabled proguard to make sure nothing is removed during minify
My SplitInstallStateUpdatedListener
private val listener = SplitInstallStateUpdatedListener { state ->
val multiInstall = state.moduleNames().size > 1
state.moduleNames().forEach { name ->
// Handle changes in state.
when (state.status()) {
SplitInstallSessionStatus.DOWNLOADING -> {
// In order to see this, the application has to be uploaded to the Play Store.
displayLoadingState(state, "Laddar ner $name")
}
SplitInstallSessionStatus.REQUIRES_USER_CONFIRMATION -> {
/*
This may occur when attempting to download a sufficiently large module.
In order to see this, the application has to be uploaded to the Play Store.
Then features can be requested until the confirmation path is triggered.
*/
startIntentSender(state.resolutionIntent()?.intentSender, null, 0, 0, 0)
}
SplitInstallSessionStatus.INSTALLED -> {
if(toInstall.isNotEmpty() && toInstall.contains(name)) {
toInstall.remove(name)
}
if(toInstall.isEmpty()) {
// Updates the app’s context with the code and resources of the
// installed module. (should only be for instant apps but tried it anyway, no change)
SplitInstallHelper.updateAppInfo(applicationContext)
Handler().post {
viewModel.goToOverview()
}
}
}
SplitInstallSessionStatus.INSTALLING -> displayLoadingState(state, "Installerar $name")
SplitInstallSessionStatus.FAILED -> {
toastAndLog("Error: ${state.errorCode()} for module ${state.moduleNames()}")
}
}
}
}
This code downloads modules depending on user claims and starts an activity in the base app
The downloaded modules activity is then started from a BottomSheetDialogFragment like this:
xxx.setOnClickListener(view -> {
Intent intent = new Intent();
String packageName = Constants.MODULE_BASEPACKAGE + "." + Constants.MODULE_XXXXX;
intent.setClassName(getActivity().getPackageName(),packageName + ".XxxxxActivity" );
ParcelUuid parcelUuid = new ParcelUuid(UUID.randomUUID());
intent.putExtra("uuid", parcelUuid);
startActivity(intent);
dismiss();
});
I'm all out of ideas about what to try next. It seems like it's something that doesn't update the resource list until an update is installed and a restart of the app is not enough, or am I just missing something simple?
This seems to have been a bug in com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1 When I upgraded to 3.3.0 the problem resolved itself.
Hopefully it might help someone else who has this problem...
