Describe the Bug

application crashes when selecting a bookmark

Expected Behavior

To Reproduce

Debug log provided

• I have provided a debug log file

[kalekad]

The application crashes when I select a bookmark, but the menu appears in which browser I want to open the bookmark, I select the browser and the bookmark is loaded.

[kalekad]

-ad: When I reopen an already opened application in the background, I don't go back to the folder where I was, but the application loads the base folder.

[kalekad]

-ad: In the browser, I share a bookmark to the app, the bookmark save menu appears, I don't save the bookmark, but I click the arrow in the top left corner, go back to the browser and back to Floccus, and the previously rejected bookmark shows up for saving.

I cannot reproduce this. For me it works.

[marcelklehr]

In the browser, I share a bookmark to the app, the bookmark save menu appears, I don't save the bookmark, but I click the arrow in the top left corner, go back to the browser and back to Floccus, and the previously rejected bookmark shows up for saving.

I can only reproduce this when not tapping the back button in the save menu but switching to the browser directly and then resharing to floccus. I don't believe this can be fixed, though.

+1'ing the crashing on Lineageos 19.1 + WebDav:

During account setup, the app constantly resets itself when losing focus (e.g. when I look up my WebDav password) so that I had to write everything down beforehand and do the account setup without changing app focus.

After the WebDav account was finally set up, I tried importing an HTML bookmarks file. This also makes the app crash immediately.

I experience the same behaviour as @kalekad. The app seems to be crashing or re-initializing after selecting a bookmark. Examples:

Select bookmark directly

1. Open floccus, navigate into a bookmark folder, and select any of the bookmarks to open it in your browser.
2. Bookmark opens in browser.
3. Switch back from browser to floccus.
4. Floccus displays root folder instead of the folder you navigated to in step 1.

Select bookmark from search results

1. Open floccus, search for a bookmark, and select any of the search results to open it in your browser.
2. Bookmark opens in browser.
3. Switch back from browser to floccus.
4. Floccus displays root folder instead of the search results from step 1.

In step 2, when the bookmark is already opened in the browser I often get a popup from Android saying: "floccus bookmark sync keeps stopping", with options to stop the app or view app information. (I assume that is an indicator that the app crashed?)

This started happening only after updating to version 4.18.0.

Downgrading to 4.17.1 resolves the issue.

I am using a Google Pixel 6 with Android 13 (patch level January 2023). Floccus was installed from f-droid store.

I am synching bookmarks to a nextcloud instance. After updating to v4.18.0 I changed the sync interval to 10 minutes (from the default 15 minutes).

Do I need to disable battery optimisation for floccus so that it can run in the background?

I experienced also the same behavior with resetting the app when loosing focus.
Also i can repeatly crash the app by adding a Bookmark with empty Link (only with a title) to the root folder.
The only way to get the app back working is to delete all data (which means i need to readd the account which is a paine with the resetting when losing focus bug).
I am using a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE with Android 13 patchlevel December 2022
App Version is 4.18.0 from googleplay

[marcelklehr]

The only thing I can reproduce is the broken state after adding a bookmark without a link. I can fix that.

The crashing / resetting may be due to capacitor v4. Hopefully they have a fix for that

[marcelklehr]

Could you may try to get the log after a crash, if you have a bit of android experience?

[KevinCFechtel]

I will try to get the logs with logcat tomorrow.

[KevinCFechtel]

So, here are two log files.
One with the crash after inserting an empty link (with starting the app in the broken state).
One with resetting the application when loosing focus.
Hope this helps.
floccus_empty_link.log
floccus_loosing_focus.log

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create service de.appplant.cordova.plugin.background.ForegroundService: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: org.handmadeideas.floccus: Targeting S+ (version 31 and above) requires that one of FLAG_IMMUTABLE or FLAG_MUTABLE be specified when creating a PendingIntent.

Probably this issue: katzer/cordova-plugin-background-mode#574 ?

There's an open PR with a fix: katzer/cordova-plugin-background-mode#571

But the project seems to be unmaintained - no commit for over 3 years.

[heapifyman]

@marcelklehr do you have an ETA for a new release that contains the fix?

[marcelklehr]

@heapifyman Should be out now on Google Play

[heapifyman]

And on f-droid, too :) thanks
