Crash on device language change in android Cocos2dJS

MohammedHatim · January 31, 2020, 6:44pm

Hi everyone,

We are getting crash when user changes the device language & app is in background, We are able to produce this in 2 to 3 devices like Karbon k9 (android version: 5.x), HTC One ( Android version 5.x) & Galaxy Tab A (Android version 9).

I created a new blank project to verify this crash, and in that blank project also this crash is happening. If anybody have any idea to solve this issue please reply in this thread.

Steps to produce the crash:

1] Open game
2] Go to device settings & change the language
3] open background game
4] Click the buttons ( you need to have some touch events )
game will crash.

@slackmoehrle @pandamicro @R101 & all, please do share any solution or a direction to look into this issue.

Have you tried out a non-JS game (just Cocos2d-x C++) to see if something similar happens? If the C++ build doesn’t crash, then that may be an indicator that it’s in the JS code.

MohammedHatim · February 3, 2020, 10:07am

@R101 yes we have cpp game too, we checked its not happening. it’s issue with JS Code only.

@R101 @slackmoehrle Hi all, Any thoughts on the above issue? Any inputs will be greatly appreciated. If you need anymore info, please let us know.

R101 · February 10, 2020, 12:01pm

Sorry I can’t really help much with this since I’ve never used the JS interface in Cocos2d-x. Perhaps you can add log calls in the app in onResume/onEnter and such functions that would be called when you go back to a game in the background. Also add the log calls in the Director just to see how far it gets through the calls before it crashes.

I am not sure how to help with this. It’s a weird crash and I know we wont be releasing any bug fixes to Cocos2d-js.

Thanks for your reply. It is dishearting to know cocos2d-js won’t be supported. We just moved to cocos2d-js from another framework

Please move to Cocos Creator!

It’s very feature rich and enjoyable to use.

It seems it is framework issue because to test this scenario we created new blank project & tried the same thing, it crashed. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the game 2. Go to device settings & change the language. 3. Open the background game (that is there in background ) 4. Click some buttons in game ( you should have some button that have some touch events ) --> game will crash once you click any button.
