REPRODUCIBILITY (% or how often): 100%

REGRESSION: (compared to previous public release: Yes, No, ?): Yes
DESCRIPTION:
I have been using the Android app c:geo for geocaching (https://www.cgeo.org/). It stopped working after updating to Rokua.
PRECONDITIONS:
Fresh install of the app.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
- Launch the app c:geo. The “Getting started” page opens.
- Tap “Configure your geocaching platform(s)”. The platform selection opens.
- Tap on any of the platform names. The app freezes.
EXPECTED RESULT:
Usable app.
ACTUAL RESULT:
Unusable app.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
After closing the app after freezing, it won’t start at all on the next try. Reinstall or “Clear data” fixes the startup-issue, but not the freezing.
The freezing happens also when trying to exit the “About” page byt tapping the back button.
The app has a “Generate logfile” button and I was able to get a few lines there:
[main] External public cgeo directory ‘/storage/emulated/0/cgeo’ not available
[RxCachedThreadScheduler-1] ‘null’ is NOT available as external dir
[RxCachedThreadScheduler-1] Chosen extCgeoDir null is not an available external dir, falling back to default extCgeoDir
[main] ‘null’ is NOT available as external dir
[main] Chosen extCgeoDir null is not an available external dir, falling back to default extCgeoDir
[looper callbacks] Unable to create network location provider: provider doesn’t exist: network
The same behaviour occurs even with old versions of the app, so this is definately a regression. I know the app was working at least in February 2020 and not working anymore in June 2020. The Rokua update was in April 2020.
