Question

We launched the app on the Market today – Nomad. I am getting reports that the app crashes on HTC and Sony Ericsson Phones. I got the following Log report from one of the USER.

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.m7.nomad/com.m7.nomad.SplashActivity}: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Can't convert to dimension: type=0x3

Not able to understand why it happens.

SplashActivity.java

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    context = this;

    // Remove title bar
    this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash);

    // Shared Preferences
    settings = getSharedPreferences(SETTINGS_PREFS, 0);

    configRun = settings.getInt("database_version", 0);

    this.assetManager = this.getAssets();


}

Line 46 points to setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash);

activity_splash.java

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@color/primary_color" >

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:contentDescription="Splash Screen"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:src="@drawable/splash_logo" />

</RelativeLayout>

Use this in your splash layout

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <ImageView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#ffe5492a"
android:contentDescription="Splash Screen"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"
android:src="@drawable/splash_logo" >
