Question

I have a Appengine connected Andorid project, to enable RPC calls between the server and the Android device. When I’m doing calls on the GWT client everything works perfectly, but when I’m doing calls from the Android app the server throws this nullpointer exception. I’m making RPC calls with a Requestfactory. GAE version 1.5.2

The problem is that the stack trace doesn’t provide any information about some issues in my code.

What I want to do is to send an Exception from the Android Client to the AppEngine Server. So that’s the android side code.

new AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>() {

            @Override
            protected Void doInBackground(Void... arg0) {
                MyRequestFactory factory = (MyRequestFactory) Util
                .getRequestFactory(context,
                        MyRequestFactory.class);
                ExceptionRequest request = factory.exceptionRequest();

                ExceptionProxy ep = request.create(ExceptionProxy.class);
                ep.setClassName(aThrowable.getClass().getSimpleName());
                ep.setRevision(1);
                ep.setVersionName("2.1.2");
                ep.setStack("");

                request.updateException(ep).fire();
                return null;
            }

        }.execute();

And that throws this exception (Internal Server Error)

09-05 22:29:36.104: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(602): Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Internal Server Error
09-05 22:29:36.104: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(602):     at com.google.web.bindery.requestfactory.shared.Receiver.onFailure(Receiver.java:44)
09-05 22:29:36.104: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(602):     at com.google.web.bindery.requestfactory.shared.impl.AbstractRequestContext.fail(AbstractRequestContext.java:677)
09-05 22:29:36.104: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(602):     ... 13 more

Doing RPC on the web client works perfectly but on the Android one I can’t get it to work.

Answer 1

It’s because of the version of the GAE. Update it to 1.6.1.
