Crashing ankidroid

[Jeremy Crouch]

My AnkiDroid keeps crashing when trying to add a new note. I tried on both my tablet and phone: same thing. 

Help? Thank you!

Hi there!

Sorry to hear that - if you haven't yet, you might try our latest releases from the 2.16 series, you may try a parallel .A build from our releases page just to see if the crash is fixed already, I've gotten a *lot* of comments on play store and here recently about similar crashes and typically the new release works.

Thank you. That seemed to work. I will test it out some to make sure there are no more issues, but so far, so good.

This is exactly the problem I am having, and the parallel.A seems to be working for me too! 

I am a little unsure of how to move forward with the 2 installs. 

-Can I use the parallel.A install only for add notes on the fly (which doesn't happen that often for me), and keep using the 2.15.6 version for everything else? 

-If I do that, I assume that once 2.16 is released, I can upgrade from 2.15.6 through the Play Store and stop using parallel.A -- is that right? 

-Should I set the parallel.A to sync to my account also? Or since it is just accessing the same storage on my device, is that unnecessary (i.e. my 2.15.6 install can handle the syncs)? 

Thanks!

First, I'm really happy to hear that you have at least one path forward now. That's a great result

Second, I am sorry that it is messy right now, with the 2 installs. Any way you mention will actually work. The two versions are sharing the same storage and both can sync, so it should be fine. The play store *will* eventually get a 2.16 version, and update your 2.15.6, yes.

It might be best to just use one version though, if the parallel.A version of 2.16alpha is working for you, I would just use it, including syncing, until 2.16 releases for real. And of course please report any errors / incorrect behavior you see via our issue tracker. The 2.16 development series is working well (we think!) but has a very large number of changes since 2.15 so perhaps there is something wrong that we have not seen yet

Cheers -
