Android dynamic feature module, resource not found


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$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x7e080000
Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x7e080000
    at android.content.res.ResourcesImpl.getValue(ResourcesImpl.java:227)

    at androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatDelegateImpl.setContentView(AppCompatDelegateImpl.java:469)
    at androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity.setContentView(AppCompatActivity.java:140)

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?


Solution

  • 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...
