pyjnius intent sample code causes app crash

[Tom Grundy]

The 'Accessing the Activity' example from the pyjnius docs (which is apparently intended to open kivy.org in a browser and nothing else), minimally wrapped in a kivy GUI, causes a crash on Samsung S9 (kivy 1.10.1, buildozer, python3, api 26, ndk r15c, ndk-api 21  

Here's the gist including code and log files - the app's log file gives no clues; logcat looks like it has some clues, maybe a missing .so file?

Try looking at the logcat out without using grep, there is very probably a crash traceback in there somewhere.

I updated the gist with another file  logcat_crash_unfiltered_snippets.txt  - it has snippets that seemed relevant including the backtrace and thread dumps:

The edited logcat ends at the interesting part, is there any more traceback to the app after jnius.so ?

If not, your best bet to find the location is to one by one comment out lines in your app.

Added enough logger lines to find that it was failing during the .cast function.  Googling some more found that changing from org.renpy.android.PythonActivity to org.kivy.android.PythonActivity solved it, and now it opens the web page as expected.  So, this particular issue is closed now - though I was using it as a stepping stone to another unanswered question on this forum - if you have any ideas there, it would be greatly appreciated: " how to spawn android's 'download' action?"

I would suggest creating a new post for that one. Otherwise it's not easy to find for other and people are less likely to respond (because it's mixed in with other issues)...

sorry for the confusion, " how to spawn android's 'download' action?" is already a separate post on this same forum (and that text should include the link) - is that what you meant?  Thanks
