Fatal Error During ActivityRecording

Hi guys,

I’ve been working on a running app for the past few weeks. It uses ActivityRecording. I’ve been able to make some good progress on it, and it normally runs fine, but I’ve got a fatal bug I can’t find. The app will run just fine for a while, but then randomly crash, and completely reboot the device (vivoactive 3). When it starts back up, the default run activity comes up in the paused state. There is no error log. This crash seems more prevalent when I stop suddenly after a few minutes of continuous running. Has anyone else seen anything like this before? I don’t think that it’s a problem with null or division by 0, because the app works fine when the watch is sitting on a table and the distance is 0.

Thank you in advance!

Is there anything about the conditions where it happens? Does it only happen after a certain time, distance, etc? Smart recording or 1 sec?

Are you low on space with the file system? You see any clue in the err_log file?

If when the watch boots and you see the native app, go ahead and save it, then copy it to your pc/mac and play it back in the sim. Could be that will help id things, by looking at memory usage, etc.

Thanks Jim! I can always count on you for a quick answer!

I get the error most often at 3 minutes and four seconds. A lot of the time, it works just fine and gets to 15-40 minutes before it crashes. I have a lot of memory available. I only use about 25kB out of 124kB. It seems like I can get it to crash more regularly when I’ve stopped running, but not stopped the activity. However, I went four miles today, stopping regularly, and wasn’t able to get it to crash once. Unlike the IQ! Crashes, there isn’t an error log in ciq_log.

I’ve added a setProperty to onUpdate, that stores all the values I access, each second. It prints on the next app open. That way if an error occurs, I can find out what data caused it. Hopefully I’ll get some results soon!

I use smart recording, not 1 second.

Great idea on using the fit file in the sim. Next time the app crashes, I’ll have to try that!

Thanks again for your ideas!

err_log is often in garmin/debug

Thanks again Jim!

Very interesting log file. It looks like the log file in this post: https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/discussion/7386/watch-app-stops-randomly-after-running-for-1-hour/49996#49996

Here’s the file. Is there any way to interpret it?
