[BUG] k2a on chromebook does not work
Checks
- [X] I have read the FAQ section, searched the open issues, and still think this is a new bug.
Describe the bug you encountered:
New problem on Google_Vilboz.13434.576.0 Zork and Android 13 in Chomebook-Playstore. App starts, seems to be running for a few seconds and the app ends without an error message. After deleting cache and/or data you can attach to google drive, but after a few seconds ends the app also without a message.
[edit] Seems to be a permission problem. Camera and contacts can be enabled but i could not give access to the file system.
[edit2] App de-inst and re-inst after a needed chromebook reboot for v120. No change, app ended without an error message. Version 1.10-PRE did not ask for file access on 2 devices. Can somebody check the needed permissions on your devices?

The App info for KP2A on my Chromebook lists the permissions as follows:
- Camera = Not allowed
- Contact = Allowed
- Storage = Allowed
All are the default permissions the app asks you during the installation.
Also, My Chromebook is running ChromeOS with this detail:
Google Chrome: Version 120.0.6099.235 (Official Build) (64-bit) Platform: 15662.76.0 (Official Build) stable-channel eve Channel: stable-channel Firmware Version: Google_Eve.9584.230.0 ARC Enabled: true ARC: 11277394 Enterprise Enrolled: false Developer Mode: false
Also, under "Settings\Apps\Google Play Store\Managed Android Preferences\About Device\Android version", it shows it's running Android 11. Are you sure you are running Android 13? Where did you get that you are running Android 13?
Yep, "Settings\Apps\Google Play Store\Managed Android Preferences\About Device\Android version" displays 13.
[edit1] permission for storage was not asked.
In my case, on a new install or even after clearing the cache and storage, when I choose Goggle Drive, the app always crashes with no error message. I always need to launch the app again to make it work and it works afterward with no issue.
Allow those permissions, which I mentioned above, separately and outside of the app (since you are saying those permissions are not asked in your case) and launch the app more than once to see what happens.
I cleared cache and storage and re-installed the app more than one times. An app relaunch does not help, after choosing Google Drive (has to be done on every app start), the app always crashes without an error message. It makes also no difference, if i choose the entire Google Drive or only the part for KP2A.
The permission for storage is grayed out. After clearing cache and storage or app re-inst, the app asks the permissions only for camera and contacts.
@Spiralpine Do you work with a local copy of the KP2A database?
I do not use the local copy of the DB. Only the DB residing in the Google drive folder.
Here is what my permissions look like:
I would suggest you try these:
1 - Try to open a copy of your DB saved locally to your download folder (open it using the system file picker) and see the outcome. This would try to eliminate any GD issues. 2 - Create a new test dummy DB with a dummy entry saved locally and on your GD and try to open each to see the results. This would aim to eliminate any issue with your main DB itself. 3 - If 1 and 2 are not conclusive, then generate a sanitized KP2A log and attach it here for the developer to look at.
I see this same force/close without error.
I have 2 new late 2023 chromebooks one is an Acer Spin 714 with an Intel I5, and sideloaded K2A 1.10-pre works just fine. The other is an Asus 14' with an AMD Ryzen 3 7320c and sideloaded K2A 1.10-pre crashes when opening.
Both run the latest ChroemOS 120, and I have also tried with 118 and 119 when they were the latest version. The Asus/AMD model, K2A always crashes when loading.
I have tried with Google Drive and also OneDrive, both fail, so it isn't just a GD issue.
Both my chromebooks are on Android 11.
After deleting app and cache data, the app in version 1.10-pre can be opened again. I can only set permissions for Camera, Contacts and Notifications. Added a local file as database with a short password, hitting the create button and the app closes itself after a few seconds. Re-installing the app does not change the app version. still 1.10-pre.
Yup, it opens, but you can't link to a cloud file, the app just force closes.
4 months later without progress. Next chromebook and et voila the same problem. The app opens, closes after a few seconds and no message is displayed.

Update. The app runs without crashing as long as you do not add a file. Tried with Android-Filebrowser and both Google Drive entries.
[edit] How can i generate a sanitized KP2A log for the developer to look at?
