Crash: [java.lang.NumberFormatException: Invalid float: "" ] upon App Load until Fake Fields are Randomized from Default

Crash: [java.lang.NumberFormatException: Invalid float: "" ] upon App Load until Fake Fields are Randomized from Default

xPrivacy version: 1.10.8(175)

Symptoms:

--Apps (ie: Facebook, ebay) will crash upon launch.

--A toast message is displayed: [ java.lang.NumberFormatException: Invalid float: "" ]

Expected Behavior:

Successful load of application without crash

Workaround:

Within the Settings Window of the specific application in xPrivacy. Press "Randomize".

Additional Information:

Attached is the Logcat of the crash.

The file is zipped, but the extension is renamed to jpg.

Note xPrivacy's Bug Log was disabled. Since a reboot is require for activation of this feature, it will have to wait until next time I Reboot the phone.

Additionally, eBay will no longer crash since it's fields have been randomized.

As I wrote in the XDA forum, I think the problem is that the default values are composed of zeros. Those zeros are interpreted as NULL by some apps (like Sygic GPS Navigation), and not as a string with a certain number of zero characters.

Too bad that XPrivacy logging was not enabled.
Please enable XPrivacy logging and capture a new logcat next time this occurs, so we can see the offending value.
In any case the latitude or longitude is the problem.
Please also install the latest beta version of XPrivacy, so that the line numbers match with the version I am working on.

Did you use manual randomization (by pressing on the button) ? If so, take next time a look at the values generated for the latitude and longitude.

[M66B]

Looking again, I guess the problem is with an initial empty latitude/longitude and the problem is solved by pressing the randomize button, right?

[danielmmmm]

What about other settings than latitude/longitude?

Create an issue if you encounter a problem again with version 1.10.13+ (just released).
