java.lang.IllegalStateException: Only fullscreen activities can request orientation

[gchristov]

Got this error when targeting Android O (API 27).

Any ideas on how to resolve?

@8masterofpuppets8 Hey Georgi, would you please tell me which version of the SDK did this happen on?
Also, does this crash happen consistently? Are you able to reproduce it? If, yes, what are your steps, please? :)

[gchristov]

Hi, yes of course :)

I'm on version 4.3.3 and my app config is:

defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.graffitab"
        minSdkVersion 21
        targetSdkVersion 27
        versionCode VERSION_CODE
        versionName VERSION_NAME
        multiDexEnabled true
        renderscriptTargetApi 19
        renderscriptSupportModeEnabled true
    }

The code I use for Instabug is:

instabug = new Instabug.Builder(GTApplication.getInstance(), TOKEN)
                .setInvocationEvent(InstabugInvocationEvent.SHAKE)
                .setCrashReportingState(Feature.State.DISABLED) // Disbale crash reporting, as we have Google Analytics.
                .build();
        Instabug.setIntroMessageEnabled(false);
        Instabug.enable();

The I call the SDK like this Instabug.invoke();

This works when I run the app on Android 7 but on Android 8 it fails with the exception above. Let me know if I can help in any other way. I really like the SDK and would like to continue using it :)

[gchristov]

I can confirm that if I put the targetSdkVersion 26 it works just fine on Android O. Any idea when this will be resolved for API 27?

@reemalashry1 Any updates here? We're also seeing this issue

[KChernenko]

Hi, we are seeing this issue on Android 8.1 DP too.

[ZiadAyman]

We are currently working on a fix for this and I'll make sure to notify you all whenever its done :)

[hanspeide]

@ZiadAyman So, any updates? It's quite disappointing that a bug that crashes apps is not fixed faster. And this should be an easy fix too, I would guess?

[ZiadAyman]

Hey @hanspeide
Instabug SDK is built on one Translucent activity. We lock the orientation during of any app during Instabug invocation, the API where using doesn’t support locking the orientation on translucent activities anymore on compileSdkVersion 27. This will require to make a bigger change on the architecture of the SDK and we’re doing our best to make sure that this fix shipped as soon as possible. In the meantime the SDK is working fine on compileSdkVersion 26.

This will be released very soon from our side and I'll make sure to notify you within the coming days :)

3 weeks later, still the case

[ZiadAyman]

@schusss We know this is taking time from our side. We are doing our best and the issue will be solved once we release our mobile dev early next week.

I will make sure to notify you once everything is in place :)

[ZiadAyman]

Hey all!

We released our mobile dev. Please update to our latest android version 4.5.0 where the orientation issue is fixed.

[gchristov]

I can confirm that v4.5.0 works for me with this config:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 27
    buildToolsVersion '26.0.2'

    defaultConfig {
        ...
        minSdkVersion 21
        targetSdkVersion 27
        ...
    }

    ...
}

Thanks guys!
