sabergeek · 2017-01-01T16:59:17Z

Goal

Sharing a crash log (as reported by Crashlytics) on specific devices.

Expected Results

To verify if my current API usage is correct and hopefully find a resolution.

Actual Results

Fatal Exception: io.realm.exceptions.RealmError: Unrecoverable error. Permission denied in /Users/cm/Realm/realm-java/realm/realm-library/src/main/cpp/io_realm_internal_SharedRealm.cpp line 92

The RepoImpl instance is being created from two separate classes and the realm instance is being closed only when onDestroy() is triggered in each of the classes. clearRealm() is currently never called.

Realm version(s): 2.2.1

Android Studio version: 2.2.3

Which Android version and device: Samsung SM-A500F (Android 6.0) and Lenovo S1a40 (Android 4.4.4)

It's seemingly working well on other devices.

Zhuinden · 2017-01-01T18:20:29Z

SNAPSHOT 2.2.2 fixes #3629 which might fix this?

sabergeek · 2017-01-02T03:07:13Z

@Zhuinden I hope so! :) When is the release version of 2.2.2 expected to be out?

Zhuinden · 2017-01-02T07:08:27Z

Personally, I'm surprised that it still isn't.

kneth · 2017-01-03T09:35:06Z

@sabergeek Can you verify that SNAPSHOT 2.2.2 works for you?

sabergeek · 2017-01-03T12:48:24Z

@kneth I certainly would, but I don't have access to those specific devices, nor emulators.

kneth · 2017-01-04T09:30:50Z

@sabergeek We will release a new version soon. I hope that you will have the time to upgrade your app and monitor Crashlytics to see if the crash still occurs.

sabergeek · 2017-01-04T12:05:52Z

@kneth I will push an update with Snapshot 2.2.2 and report back. Is there anything else I should be aware of/ expect with this snapshot (known bugs)?

Zhuinden · 2017-01-04T12:49:27Z

@sabergeek it has less bugs than 2.2.1, and I do not know of any new bugs that were introduced.

kneth · 2017-01-04T12:51:06Z

You can either use the snapshot or wait a day (or two) to use a proper release.

sabergeek · 2017-01-04T12:53:25Z

@kneth Then I'll wait instead, and will report back soon :)

kneth · 2017-01-05T08:05:50Z

@sabergeek We have released 2.2.2 a few hours ago :-)

sabergeek · 2017-01-17T08:48:38Z

@kneth Seems to be alright! It's over a week now and no crashes yet.

kneth · 2017-01-17T09:50:13Z

@sabergeek Cool. I'll close the issue. Don't hesitate to reopen or create new issue if you see it again.

AamirAbro · 2017-01-29T12:40:43Z

@kneth I am seeing the similar crash in crash reports on realm 2.2.2

@AamirAbro what directory are you trying to open the Realm in?

AamirAbro · 2017-01-29T12:55:32Z

@Zhuinden the default one.

here is how am I creating the it.
Realm.init(Application.getContext()); RealmConfiguration configuration = new RealmConfiguration.Builder() .deleteRealmIfMigrationNeeded() .build();

Zhuinden · 2017-01-29T12:56:46Z

Interesting, what device is it?

2.2.2 should have fixed it as per #3629

AamirAbro · 2017-01-29T13:10:38Z

@Zhuinden Its happening mostly on HUAWEI devices.
Here is the distribution of users who git this crash after realm 2.2.2 update.

Zhuinden · 2017-01-29T13:40:42Z

@AamirAbro do you open Realm instance in application.onCreate(), or in Activity.onCreate()?

beeender · 2017-07-13T12:00:38Z

@tamtom hey, just checked the implementation of clearApplicationUserData(), it is actually calling into ActivityManager to ask system to clear the data which should be just the same as user click the button in the settings.

clearApplicationUserData() will 1. clean the app data, 2. kill the app process.

So that would be a working solution! I will try to test that when I got time someday.

tamtom · 2017-07-17T13:45:00Z

@beeender I tested it and its working, I went to first realm call happen in the app and catch the exception on catch I call clearApplicationUserData() this is the best workaround for now and the crashes went down to 0 on fabric crash reports. 😄

beeender · 2017-08-24T03:11:07Z

Key info from #5142

Steps & Code to Reproduce
Never reproduced this manually. Received this stacktrace in our crash reporting tool. Appears to be happening only on Lenovo A7010a48 running Android 6.0. This crash happens when Realm.getDefaultInstance() is called from the onCreate() of my MainActivity, which means the app crashed on launch. init() happens in the Application class. The app is a single process application so there is probably no way for init() to go wrong.
Version of Realm and tooling
Realm version(s): 2.3.1
Realm sync feature enabled: no
Android Studio version: 2.3.3
Which Android version and device: Lenovo A7010a48 running Android 6.0

cfryan1990 · 2017-11-28T07:58:37Z

Hello, I have the same issue in many HUAWEI devices. The stack is

io.realm.exceptions.RealmError Unrecoverable error. Permission denied in /Users/cm/Realm/realm-java/realm/realm-library/src/main/cpp/io_realm_internal_SharedRealm.cpp line 101 io.realm.internal.SharedRealm.nativeGetSharedRealm(Native Method) io.realm.internal.SharedRealm.<init>(SourceFile:194) io.realm.internal.SharedRealm.getInstance(SourceFile:241) io.realm.internal.SharedRealm.getInstance(SourceFile:231) io.realm.RealmCache.b(SourceFile:317) io.realm.RealmCache.a(SourceFile:281) io.realm.x.l(SourceFile:331)

And I think it's not friendly to use clearApplicationUserData(). So I use Realm.deleteRealm(configuration), and it seems worked well in my test. But in my root dir, I don't have .cv files, only xxx.realm, xxx.realm.lock. In my xxx.management dir, there is no .cv file, either.

BTW, I think most crash in HUAWEI device is caused by OTA.

beeender · 2017-12-14T02:52:01Z

Close this since it is not Realm side issue. See #3972 (comment) for more details and potential workaround.

hmedat · 2017-12-20T13:11:53Z

Guys, I have set this code,

How i'm calling realm

If the exception has Permission denied message, i will clear all data.

Android has clear data method after kit-kat, but if the version code less than 19, i have to delete the data manually.

kuno · 2018-01-27T00:07:10Z

Hi

I have a similar crash on 4.3.2 but with a sligh different name. It's same issue here ?

BTW: This realm instance was created at when Application onCrate method is called and never close in the whole lifecycle of the app.

Not sure this is relevant or not.

Zhuinden · 2018-03-26T19:59:48Z

@izBasit wow. Where exactly do you open the Realm and in how many processes?

izBasit · 2018-03-28T10:54:02Z

@Zhuinden just one process throughout the app. And we open realm everytime we want to read or write to it.
If you wanted to know where we initialize it then we do it in the Application's onCreate.

We init Realm on app start and no queries are executed until after it is initialized. We insert on a background thread and query on the UI thread.

What other information would be helpful? Devices? OS version?

Zhuinden · 2018-06-29T09:31:41Z

@thorbenprimke device is good, my guess goes for Huawei P8 and Huawei P8 Lite?

cmelchior · 2018-06-29T09:34:16Z

Ref to current open issue tracking this: #5715

jalexdev · 2018-08-23T22:23:49Z

We're seeing this issue on a Lenovo VIBE X3 Lite (#5715 seems specific to other devices).

Currently I'm not fond of the ActivityManager.clearApplicationUserData() solution since I assume it will also prevent our error reporting solution (Fabric Crashyltics which doesn't appear to support flushing of reports) from notifying how often this issue is even hit since the error report will also be cleared.

For now we might just live with it given the number of devices hitting this and hope that the user will eventually re-install the app.

Is it worth attempting Realm.deleteRealm(realmConfiguration)?
Comments in this thread seem to indicate that there would still be files left over but it wasn't clear if that will continue to pose a problem or not.

Zhuinden · 2018-08-23T23:29:18Z

@jalexdev we had Realm.deleteRealm and also path-based file deletions but it didn't help. :/

I do not have access to that project anymore so I do not know if the clearApplicationUserData() thing fixed it.

i-m-aman · 2018-11-30T12:43:38Z

@Zhuinden @cmelchior So, is there any workaround for this or the issue gets resolved in 5.8.0? This error has been reported once since I upload my application on play store which is around 2 months back. My daily active user is around 50 - 80 right now. I am initializing the Realm in Application's oncreate like this -

Realm.init(App.this);
                RealmConfiguration config = new RealmConfiguration.Builder()
                        .encryptionKey(REALM_KEY.getBytes())
                        .schemaVersion(0)
                        .deleteRealmIfMigrationNeeded()
                        .build();
                Realm.setDefaultConfiguration(config);
                Realm.getInstance(config);

And using getDefaultInstance() wherever i need it throughout the application.

Do I need to change anything? I am not able to reproduce it.

The Device was OnePlus 3T - 8.0.0

Zhuinden · 2018-11-30T23:39:34Z

@Deathstroke007 I wish I had anything to tell you.

I actually don't even know why this issue is closed. I believe it is the most severe issue, and should be utmost priority, but it's kinda been happening for... a while now.
