Windows UWP port, arrays and collections

[mcw]

I finally figured out the issue with my app on UWP. I know there have been a lot of issues with arrays and collections in the past, things we shouldn't do. Here is the code that is causing problems:

vector.addElement(new String(string));

As far as I can tell there is no exception thrown, I have Log.bindCrashProtection(true); and don't get any notifications. By adding logging around the statement it just seems to die and never returns.

The above code runs fine on Android, iOS and the simulator

Now that I know where the issue is I can easily work around it. Is this code suspect or should it work?

Thanks

I don't see anything wrong with that.
Can you try using add and maybe switch to the new collections e.g. ArrayList?
Maybe there is a deadlock with the synchronized old collections or something like that.

I found some issues when it came to creating new strings if the string was empty on UWP - it was throwing an exception whos name escapes me but it was a CLI verification exception or something like that

So if in the riginal posters example the variable string was an empty string it would complain

ie

String str = "";

Vector v = new Vector();

c.addElement(new String(str)); //doesn't like when str is an empty string

c.addElement("");                   //code doesn't seem to mind this

Thanks.  This is now fixed in git, and will be included with the next server update.
