crash on using webview

[hsiami]

when I change locale and then use webview app crashes for the first time.

var webview = WebView(this)

java.lang.RuntimeException: Package not found: com.android.webview
    at android.webkit.WebViewDelegate.getPackageId(WebViewDelegate.java:191)
    at lb.a(PG:16)
    at ks.run(PG:14)

@hsiami Did you tried to test on Android Emulator or Physical device?

This seems not related to my library. But I will keep this issue because crashing might caused by Resource class from my library.

/**
 * Returns the package id of the given {@code packageName}.
 */
public int getPackageId(Resources resources, String packageName) {
    SparseArray<String> packageIdentifiers =
            resources.getAssets().getAssignedPackageIdentifiers();
    for (int i = 0; i < packageIdentifiers.size(); i++) {
        final String name = packageIdentifiers.valueAt(i);
        if (packageName.equals(name)) {
            return packageIdentifiers.keyAt(i);
        }
    }
    throw new RuntimeException("Package not found: " + packageName);
}

I tried on both Emulator and physical device

[hsiami]

Without your library app doesn't crash. and with your library app crashes only when I change the locale and then create an instance of WebView.

No idea yet?

[hsiami]

for solving webview problem I used this library instead:
https://github.com/YarikSOffice/lingver

[akexorcist]

@hsiami Thank you for alternative library suggestion.

I will fix this issue soon. In Lingver library, there're some information about WebView issue that might useful for me to solve this issue.

[omidahmadian]

I also have this problem
Did you find any solution for it?

It's crashing on webview randomly.

@akexorcist I can see you have resolved the crash issue (saw in commits)
but when I try updating library from 1.2.9 -> 1.2.10 but ended with the following error.
Could not find com.akexorcist:localization:1.2.10.

[akexorcist]

@nagesh-kashyap-r still in testing please wait until tomorrow

[akexorcist]

1.2.10 is live. please check on your project and don't forget to give me a feedback.

[nagesh-kashyap-r]

@akexorcist Thanks!!!! Crash issue is resolved!

[huunhan18pro]

I also get the same issue. Only for the first time. The library is very good. I could change any language on my app. But I got this issue. Hope you fix it soon. Ver 1.2.10 and Android 7.0

[juliocbcotta]

@akexorcist I have tried the 1.2.10 and I get the error when creating an instance of WebView or just setting it to debug.
I tried to replicate it in the sample app in the repository, but I couldn't.

Do you have any tips ?

[MobatiaArshad]

This crash issue is still rising with version com.akexorcist:localization:1.2.10. The crash is only occurring when user try to open the webView with fresh install.

lingver is better. Thanks

[akexorcist]

Note:
From my investigation, this happen when user change the language to another language then open WebView.

Let me investigate more about it.

[akexorcist]

This issue was fixed in 1.2.11. Please check it out

[kenkieo]

i guess u just code locazation,and u just only Override application.getResources but not Override getAssets.
why it happen by locazation, we can see the android framewrok :
WebViewFactoryProvider.getProvider -> WebViewFactoryProvider.getProviderClass-> AppGlobals.getInitialApplication (the application u config manifest.xml)-> initialApplication.getAssets().addAssetPathAsSharedLibrary (this webview package info add to ).

Since AndroidX AppCompat has per-app language preferences for backward compatibility. Please migrate this library to AndroidX for more stability, compatibility, and longer support from Google team.

See Migrate to AndroidX guide

Thank you for your support
