unable to start app on cyanogenmod 11 (Android 4.4.4) without GApps

[amo13]

Actual behaviour

• Starting the nextcloud app just briefly shows the login screen and then the app crashes with android saying "nextcloud wurde beendet"
• To me it looks like the missing Google Apps are the problem, but in my opinion the nextcloud app should not rely on these in any way

Environment data

Android version: 4.4.4

Device model: HTC One S

Stock or customized system: Cyanogenmod 11 (official)

Nextcloud app version: latest

Nextcloud server version: latest

Thanks for investigating

[lynxis]

I could verify this bug using nextcloud server: 12.0.2 and nextcloud android: 1.4.2 via fdroid.
Version 2.0.0 RC5 works fine.

[amo13]

Oh yes, I did not see Version 2.0.0 RC5 on fdroid, because it installed 1.4.2 automatically. Thanks for pointing me to this!
Closed.

[lynxis]

It's not installed as default because 2.0.0 is marked as development. Maybe you should re-open this bug as long the latest "default" version is still broken.

[AndyScherzinger]

@lynxis I labeled the issue "2.0.0" so at least (in the future) it will be clear that this matter has been resolved with 2.0.0 :)

[amo13]

Ok, reopening until the default version on fdroid works. I hope I'm going to remember closing it again ;)

E/ActivityThread( 5588): android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: String resource ID #0x7f08000a

This is the real error and was reported long time ago in #946 and then fixed.

Ok, reopening until the default version on fdroid works. I hope I'm going to remember closing it again ;)

Let us do it the other way around: if the problem still occurs after 2.0 release, please re-open ;-)
