PythonActivity.mActivity causes app crash with new toolchain

[WillDHB]

The following code causes an app to crash instantly:

from jnius import autoclass
PythonActivity = autoclass('org.renpy.android.PythonActivity')
ac = PythonActivity.mActivity

I have encountered this in a Kivy app I've built with buildozer, and have seen the issue across multiple devices. I have also reproduced this issue in the remote shell. I had not seen this occur when using the old toolchain.

What about org.kivy.android.PythonActivity? I works with renpy call anyway (source), so I'm not sure why this fails for you, as it works for me with with latest versions.

App output(logcat) would be really nice to have. :)

org.kivy.android.PythonActivity does not seem to have the problem:

>>> from jnius import autoclass
>>> PythonActivity = autoclass('org.kivy.android.PythonActivity')
>>> ac = PythonActivity.mActivity
>>> # Note how it didn't crash 
>>> PA2 = autoclass('org.renpy.android.PythonActivity')
>>> PA2.mActivity # ...and crash

I do not know whether it would have crashed if I'd tried to do something more substantial with org.kivy.android.PythonActivity.

Here's a log file:

I have seen this issue on a OnePlus One, an AVD emulator emulating a Nexus 6, and a Pixel.

Probably it's this issue. You can try temporary fix mentioned there.

The PythonActivity class used to be org.renpy.android.PythonActivity in the old toolchain (and still is in the pygame bootstrap), but in all the others it is now org.kivy.android.PythonActivity. If you're using the new toolchain and anything except the pygame bootstrap, just change the references in your code to org.kivy.android.PythonActivity.
