Crashing in GifViewUtils

[rajattjainn]

Hi,

We're using this library to animate the loading icon for our Android app, and we faced this crash after the latest updated. I wish I could interpret the error better, but I'm posting the error details below.

Fatal Exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to resume activity {com.holidify.andorid.app.holidify/com.holidify.andorid.app.holidify.ui.SplashActivity}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #15: Error inflating class pl.droidsonroids.gif.GifTextView

We are not using Eclipse, but Android Studio. The dependency added in build.gradle is as follows:
compile 'pl.droidsonroids.gif:android-gif-drawable:1.1.10'
I have tried using this library with different versions (1.1.3, 1.1.9, etc) but no luck.

Also, this issue is not reproducible in every device. I have been able to reproduce this issue Samsung Galaxy Grand I9082, but not in Motorola G, Generation 1 or 2.

Caused by java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: pl.droidsonroids.gif.R$styleable
Direct reason is that mentioned class has not been found.
Is that the same APK on both devices?
Do you have custom proguard configuration (I see no line numbers)?

[rajattjainn]

Yeah, it's the same APK on both the devices.
Also, I have not added any custom proguard configuration.

Later, I found out if I use version 23.0.1 of google support libraries, then the app runs smoothly on all the devices. However if I change the dependency version to 23.1.0, the app crashes on selected devices.

Here is my build.gradle for reference,

I'm not familiar with multidex but it maybe caused by the fact that class pl.droidsonroids.gif.R$styleable is located in different dex file and for some reason is not loaded at the time of exception occurrence.

[koral--]

I was able to reproduce similar issue (differing only by class which was not found). Adding multiDexEnabled true is not enough for multidex feature to work.
You should also add:

• dependency: compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
• use one of 3 ways described in MultiDexApplication
  See also:
  http://developer.android.com/tools/building/multidex.html#mdex-gradle

It looks like Motorola G has Lollipop which natively supports multidex and does not require support library dependency unlike Galaxy Grand and changing version of support library caused change of number of methods in apk.
