REPRODUCIBILITY: 90%
OS VERSION: 4.6.0.11
HARDWARE: Xperia 10 II
UI LANGUAGE: Czech
REGRESSION: Yes

Strange is, that when open Aurora store, find Rowenta Robots there and hit “open” button there, it starts and work perfectly fine.

PRECONDITIONS:

Have Android app support, installed Rowenta Robots app, register itself into app, pair a robot (?)…

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

  1. Open Rowenta Robots app from application grid

EXPECTED RESULT:

It should be possible to run android application from application grid.

ACTUAL RESULT:

The app closed after few seconds showing splash screen.

MODIFICATIONS:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

My Lidl Plus app does this exactly same thing after the 4.6 update.

When you open your Terminal, sign in as devel-su and and run

journalctl --follow

and then try opening the Rowenta Robits app, do you get similar errors as I do?

Apparently the culprit might be that Specified Desktop file does not exist /usr/share/applications/system_service.desktop",
or maybe Qt::WindowDoesNotAcceptFocus set

Log for Rowenta is a bit different:

Btw, I just found out that when I start Rowenta Robots app from the terminal with:

lca-tool --triggerdesktop apkd_launcher_com_groupeseb_aspirobot-com_groupeseb_aspirobot_splashscreen_SplashscreenActivity.desktop

It starts perfectly fine. But from application grid (Lipstick) it fails :-/

Cruel pinecones of life! That works also for the LidlPlus app. Good to have the workaround at least.

Hmm… Homcredit apps doesn’t like your “hack” :frowning: :cry:

I’ve tried this command:

lca-tool --triggerdesktop apkd_launcher_cz_homecredit_hccz-cz_hc_ui_SplashActivity.desktop

and nothing happened :frowning:
Maybe that weird message that Desktop file doesn’t exist is little bit deeper than yours problem…

@tom.i My first attempt failed too due to me not being in the correct folder ./.local/share/applications when running the lca-tool.

@karry 's “hack” isn’t using the full path to the apkd_launcher… .desktop file. Either use the full path or first cd to the correct folder before running the lca-tools command.

An easier way to successfully start such an Android app was revealed in another bug report thread:

I go to Settings/Apps/[MalfunctioningApp]/Open Android settings/Open (in green text) the app then opens and is usable

Apparently not yet solved with 4.6.0.12 :frowning:

But I keep fingers crossed for the release to all (4.6.0.12 is still early access)
