Unable to call the MainActivity of Android-nRF-Mesh-Library from my Activity in Android for my version of nRF Mesh Provisioner app

[xavierg]

I have some working knowledge of Android but I'm new to Fragments, Injection, Binding, ButterKnife .etc. I have gone through some videos and tutorials but can't catch where the problem is.

What I want to do:

There is this activity and Code (MeshInteractionActivity.java) which I've got from a GitHub repository. I want to make another activity which is MainActivity.java and connect to this Mesh Activity on button press. I thought it would be just straightforward to do an Intent from MainActivity to MeshInteractionActivity. But it didn't work. I felt maybe it needs a fragment on MainActivity which Intents to 2nd Activity and so I created MainFragment.java. I get the 2 buttons on my MainFragment but when I press Mesh button i.e. mesh() method in MainFragment I get an app crash.

I tried learning ButterKnife and seeing some videos but they were too basic and I didn't understand how they will fit into my use case. Since my code has a section like this:

@Inject
DispatchingAndroidInjector<Fragment> mDispatchingAndroidInjector;

@Inject
ViewModelProvider.Factory mViewModelFactory;

Things which I've still not got the meaning of.

The error I get:

This activity too, has its own fragments but I guess the problem is where the Intent from 1st Activity fragment jumps to 2nd Activity.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I can't see that this case contains any sensitive information. If not, would it be possible to open the case to public? Then it is easier to help you, because we have some application engineers who are not able to see private tickets. In addition, it would be nice for others who might have similar issues to see the answers. Is it possible to go public with the case?

 

Best regards,

Edvin

[xavierg]

Yeah. I've made it public. Now can you point your engineers towards this post?

[Edvin]

Thank you Xavier,

He told me you already have an ongoing thread on the github page:
https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/Android-nRF-Mesh-Library

He will follow you up in one of the places, github or here.

 

BR,

Edvin

K. Thanks.
