I have a problem with this plugin. If i download the project with the older BT version the plugin files are not included and the app has trouble understanding what to display when i clic on that menu option. With 3.0 core the plugin files are included in the package but i don't know why 3.0 is not working for me. Is a very simple app, i have a tabs layout with menu image advanced as home screen and when i launch the app in emulator (Android 3.1 API 12) or device the app crash before be launched. http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/6522/bkvt.jpg This is the logcat error: 12-25 22:40:49.530: E/AndroidRuntime(375): FATAL EXCEPTION: main 12-25 22:40:49.530: E/AndroidRuntime(375): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.orihuelainfo/com.orihuelainfo.BT_activity_host}: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Device does not have package com.google.android.gsf 12-25 22:40:49.530: E/AndroidRuntime(375): at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:1748) 12-25 22:40:49.530: E/AndroidRuntime(375): at android.app.ActivityThread.handleLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:1764) 12-25 22:40:49.530: E/AndroidRuntime(375): at android.app.ActivityThread.access$1500(ActivityThread.java:122) 12-25 22:40:49.530: E/AndroidRuntime(375): at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:1002) 12-25 22:40:49.530: E/AndroidRuntime(375): at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:99) 12-25 22:40:49.530: E/AndroidRuntime(375): at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:132) 12-25 22:40:49.530: E/AndroidRuntime(375): at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:4025) 12-25 22:40:49.530: E/AndroidRuntime(375): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) 12-25 22:40:49.530: E/AndroidRuntime(375): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:491) 12-25 22:40:49.530: E/AndroidRuntime(375): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:841) 12-25 22:40:49.530: E/AndroidRuntime(375): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:599) 12-25 22:40:49.530: E/AndroidRuntime(375): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) 12-25 22:40:49.530: E/AndroidRuntime(375): Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Device does not have package com.google.android.gsf 12-25 22:40:49.530: E/AndroidRuntime(375): at com.google.android.gcm.GCMRegistrar.checkDevice(GCMRegistrar.java:98) 12-25 22:40:49.530: E/AndroidRuntime(375): at com.orihuelainfo.BT_activity_host.configureEnvironment(BT_activity_host.java:293) 12-25 22:40:49.530: E/AndroidRuntime(375): at com.orihuelainfo.BT_activity_host.onCreate(BT_activity_host.java:128) 12-25 22:40:49.530: E/AndroidRuntime(375): at android.app.Instrumentation.callActivityOnCreate(Instrumentation.java:1048) 12-25 22:40:49.530: E/AndroidRuntime(375): at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:1712) 12-25 22:40:49.530: E/AndroidRuntime(375): ... 11 more 12-25 22:40:49.550: W/ActivityManager(81): Force finishing activity com.orihuelainfo/.BT_activity_host Can anyone help me?

I have not used the core 3 for android yet other than those while testing it before the public release. However, a lot has changed since then. The initial release was against the API level 13 and the current version is against Android API level 14. You should compile this app against the api level 14 instead of 12. The third line of your error log shows that your app gets force closed for want of a package named com.google.android.gsf. Switching your project property to android api 14 should fix this issue as well. If you still face any problem, feel free to post your queries here.

http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=F87D29BA17032DE4EF7DBDE maybe this will help also

You seem to be having an issue with Google Play Services. Are you testing on an actual device? If not, try that. The plugin is only for 3.0 projects.

I got this error when I switch options on the story and link option.on some feeds only the story option works vice versa

I don't have an issue with Google Play Services (lol, i thing this is a dejavu, all the people say the same all the time!!) Thans to SmugWimp help one month ago i now how to add Google Play Services as library. By other way, he was testing with access to my account one month ago and he had the same problems (we were talkign by mail, i cannot link to the post). He have recreated the same app in his member account and the files on the project download were different so he cannot continue with the help because he dont understand why the zip file contains different files. About the device, i have seven devices and tried in a few. All the same error. Usually i test in AVD and one tablet BQ Edison bought 10 months ago. Is an actual device. I was talking in spanish forum and there are a lot of users who cannot use BT3.0 with the same problem.

@Sandeep, tried now with API 11, 12, 13 and 14. Same error.

Here is the project properties, as you can see i have google libs and all is ok. I have removed too the remove.jar file http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/2481/j8ba.jpg Sorry but again i must say that this tool is a waste of time and money. I dont understand why the other people dont post that kind of problems on the forum.

Are you setting the option for the feed to open up the web link or a story? Also my feeds only work on bt core and I changed the api 14 like sandeep mentioned.also some of the feeds dont work so it will give that error.im referring to the error that says it does not know what to display

@Chris, maybe you need to add one line to the description of this plugin: "this plugin is not working with old core, only with BT3.0 core" A lot of people is working with old core and will buy thinking that is working with old core too (i dont have problems working with the old core, all plugins are working for me except android rss)

I never removed anything I forget its even in there.Also if you have used any other plugins and have not implemented the necessary code for the manifest, etc., then you will also get that error

@CMCOFFE the problem is not the feed, the app crash when is starting, before going to the rss section. if i delete that screen i have the same problem so the problem is at the BT core. The only problem i have with the plugin is because dont have support for the old core like other plugins.

Look here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/115208762/OSMBT/GPSRefBT.pdf Is impossible to compile the project if you dont delete that file. By other way, as i said, is a very simple app. Only menu image advanced as home screen and android rss as second screen. If i try only with menu image advanced i have the same problem. With this plugins you dont need to modify nothing at the manifest, are very simple plugins. Thanks for your answers

I bet money if anyone want bet. If you cant get this project working without modifying nothing (downloaded from my account) i will pay you! :-) Other advanced users like Smugwimp were trying without success

What plugins do you have??also it does state that its only for 3.0 core. Yes mine does crash on certain feeds.I know because it works on the iOS rss plugin.If you want I will send you one of my feeds and whether I chose story or link to explain.so yes the plugin does need work to support more feeds like you want, but most of the time it does.so yes it is the olugin that crashes but its because it doesnt recognize some feeds.

As i said, the problem is not the feed, i have the same problem with ALL plugins. In old core i can work with all plugins, in BT3.0 all plugins are crashing the app.

I can create an app with only a html and it will crash on the same manner

By other way the plugin description says that is for Android 3.0+ apps, dont say that is for 3.0+ core.

So the app runs fine without the rss plugin On the old bt?

Yes, on the old BT all the plugins (and the app) works fine.

I have offered money some times for help in the forum but maybe all the people here are richmans. I prefer to pay to an advanced user for connect to my computer via teamviewer that the hundreds of dollars that i have lost on the last month because i am not working, i am trying to get working this "tool".

Iman I dont know.In the manifest under minSdkVersion, do you add the android:targetSdkVersion with the highest api that you have downloaded? Thats the only thing I can think of

Send me the project bro and I will try.Im far from rich and really most would rather help for free than monry.Ill try for free bro.Keep working at it and you will eventually undrstand

No i dont have added nothing, the instructions dont say nothing about that (but maybe are wrong, 90% of the docs here have mistakes). My highest api is 19, is this the line i need to add?: <uses-sdk android:targetSdkVersion="19"/> If i add that line i get errors on the manifest

ok wait a minute please, i will re-download the project and i will upload,

Yes but you put it inside of the statement. like this <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="14" android:targetSdkVersion="19"/>. Yes send me the link and I will see what I can do.

http://www.sublimenetwork.es/orihuelainfo_Android.zip Is the complete project, with other plugins (i was testing the last hour with a dummy app with only one screen) Is very simple app as you will see, menu, rss and quiz. The feed is http://www.orihuela.info/feed/ (wordpress feed) Configuration: dont show descriptions and load story THank you very much. You dont want money but if you can get working the app i will donate food to charity.

Ok I am not getting any errors. Here are the results though: First menu item, which is the rss is just a blank screen whether its on story or description. The second menu item that suppose to open a custom url screen, has a link that doesnt work. I copied the link and tried it on my pc web browser. The last menu item is a custom url that open up your website and doesnt have any problems. Also I noticed you made the transition type for the right bar nav as flip. flip is only available on iOS. Android just uses rss. Im sure its just the way the rss feed is formatted. This rss feed works that Im using on my app with story. Look at and if you can try to format it the same. Chris1 always does a good job fixing and updating his plugins, so Im sure a fix that accepts more feeds will be available soon. Everyone here to help dude, they're all good people.Hang in there

but... why you dont get errors and i get errors? what you have modified? by other way, forget the feed now, my principal problem is why i cannot run 3.0 apps. The i will see if my feed is good or not. I can develope this app in other site like Seattle Cloud who have a good rss plugin but is not a solution because if i want develope here another app i will have the same problem, using rss or not. Thanks

Remember that the app crash BEFORE is launched, i cannot see the meny or any screen.

I didnt modify anything. I unzipped the package, then made sure I had the targetSdkVersion in the manifest: <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="14" android:targetSdkVersion="19"/> Then I ran the app and it worked.Im not sure why you cant get it to work. What version does your device run?

BT is the best app making software you will ever stumble upon plus the community here is much more friendly than any other community you will find on any of the forums. BT core 2 is well polished so is the new core 3. It was tested by many BT users before it was released to the public. Are you self hosted? If so which self hosted package are you using (2.1.9 or latest 3.0)? I have just downloaded your project and will check compiling it and will return with the findings / results.

Tried withandroid 2.2, 3.0, 4.0 and 4.4

Hi sandeep, i am not self hosted, I am with the guest account at this moment

Ok so it took me less than one minute to download your project, import it in eclipse, compile it on Google API level 14 and run on my tablet. The app runs fine on my tablet. However, i could not understand the contents of the app since they seem to be either in spanish or french language. THe only thing i did was to compile it against Google API instead of Android API. Check if it compiles against Google api. If it still doesnot compile then send me your TeamViewer password and user id to - sandeepkurne (at) gmail (dot) com. We will check it together.

I will try, what android version have your tablet? I will create an AVD with the same version.

My tablet is having 4.1.2 device is Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. I found that the quiz screen does not work for some reason. I am trying to find the reason behind it. Other screens work without problem but as i said i do not understand the language so am not able to figure out which screen is the rss feed.

The rss feed is the first option on the menu on the home screen, forgot the other options because maybe the links are not live at this moment. Thanks, i am trying

I cannot compile with google api. I will delete the project, download and import clean project and send you teamviewer password. Thanks

What's an example of a feed that doesn't work with this plugin?

Hi Chris, CMCOFFE told me that my feed is not working, here is the feed: http://www.orihuela.info/feed/

The feed screen does not work. Its all blank. I think you have not set the properties properly on your BT control panel.

Sandeep was testing in my computer via teamviewer without success (he was more than one hour trying). Today tested the project in another computer (with a new hd and new windows installation) and not working too. BT3.0 core ONLY works in device, at least on Windows environment don't works. I think is the reason because you don't have errors, because you all are using mac computers. A friend who is an experienced android programmer has tested too and he said "This is a piece of shit". I don't agree with him because BT is not a piece of shit, is a big mountain of shit! If i want test how the app looks on different devices i will need to buy some devices or test only when a friend or employee is at the office. Emulator is needed for testing. And about Chris1 plugins... Is my second plugin bought from him and the second plugin who dont works (of course i wrote a negative review). First was menu image advanced. More than one week waiting for the update with a solution because he forgot a piece of code (now works fine). Now is RSS Android plugin, not working too. Tested by three experienced BT users too with different feeds. Simple and standard feeds like wordpress are not working, i dont know what kind of feed is using for test, or is not testing? I think now understand how he can program plugins in a few hours: he write code, upload the plugin (without testing), take the money of the users and then the users will test the plugin. If he have time will fix the bug, if he dont have time you will lose your money and need to look for another solution. This process in Spain is known as SCAM, FRAUD, etc... Sorry for my bad words but is the reality. If you don't want more angry users you must test ALL the plugins before be published at the market and the most important, you MUST update ALL your documentation because is deprecated and incomplete (i cannot help writing docs because my english is not very good). I have found in another forums a lot of users who say "BT dont works and dont have support", dont play with your reputation because you can lose all your business if the people start opening threads talking about your bad service and support. I will wait until monday for the fix of this plugin, if not i will ask for a refund of the money paid (i dont know if he is working on the fix, he dont said nothing). An the last, i want to say thanks to all who have tried to help me.

wow. sorry that you have an issue with the Android RSS plugin. You have given me no details of what needs fixed, no logcat output related to the plugin, thus nothing to go on for how to help you. The logcat you posted above is not related to my plugin, but related to your implementation Google Play Services. If you want a refund, we're happy to give you one.

Hi Vicentin. Drop me a PM and I'll get you a refund. Maybe BT just isn't for you after all. I'll make sure you get reimbursed for anything you have spent so far. Now that this forum post has basically become a name calling thread with foul language I reckon it's best to just move on and find another solution for your ideas. I have used a ton of Chris1 plugins, Android and iOS and have always found him to be one of the most helpful chaps I have encountered online. Sorry that wasn't your experience. As an aside, myself and many others have made an extremely good living on the BT platform and I don't just mean from plugins. Tens of thousands of users in dozens of countries and languages all creating apps ranging from the simple to the stunning without issue and whenever they need help or assistance there are a ton of friendly people willing to burn the midnight oil to help. All the best with your endeavors and hope you find a platform that suits your needs.

I have used most of Chris' plugins and have an excellent experience in every case. He is doing so much to move all of our apps forward! Thank you, Chris, for all you have done for the Buzztouch community. Buzztouch is far and away the best way to make an app, unless you really want to make a cookie-cutter app and pay monthly fees for it. Because Buzztouch is not a cookie-cutter type of app, it does require more patience, dedication and expertise from the user. However, the extra investment of mental energy pays off many times by producing apps of true quality.

@Chris1 are you joking? you asked for the feed url two days ago and i replied with the feed url. Why you dont asked for the logcat or what you need? Why you never replied again to the post? Why you never replied to this other post and wait to have an angry customer? https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=62A6EEE30D57234FD60A8D0 By other way, if i cannot run the app i cannot send logcat! is obvious! As you can see, for example Sandeep was testing with his computer (Mac) and the plugin is not working. If you really are not a scammer you can ask him for the logcat and repair the plugin (your next customer will have the same problems) @MacApple Ten of thousand of users with apps published? dont lie because you make me laugh!! Maybe there are ten of thousand of registered users but not active users. Look at this post, is the proof that the Chris menu image advanced plugin was failing too: https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=95AB971102685CFF2ED5B49 Of course Chris was helping by mail, but between email and email there was one-two days of delay and needs more than one week for the solution. I will send you a PM in a minute for the refund (if not i will ask to my bank and they will make a chargeback to my credit card). But with this refund i understand you admit that BT/Plugins are not working well and you were playing with my time and money (more than one month of my time lost ONLY for problems with deprecated documentation and non working plugins). When an user arrives to BT.com you offer the paradise, a tool 100% working in exchange for money, but i have a lof of proofs of errors and i will spread the word, be sure. Maybe i will make a website only for this. Instead of helping and have patience with an angry customer (angry with reasons) like other admins, your solution is to say "go out", good support!. I must have a lot of patience but you not? Really, you started a war with that comment, a BIG WAR. @Susan There are only a few members helping (mainly admins), you only need at the forum. Simple questions are not answered: https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=247027C5ADFF94657BD745A Be sure, i prefer to pay $9.99 every month in Seattle Clouds or other site and have support and a 100% working app without problems (and developed in one hour as i said in another post). By other way, i am not a 100% newbie, my app is already in Google Play and i was only trying to improve the app with more sections: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.orihuelainfo.android That app is a $15 template from codecanyon. Of course i received good documentation without errors and good support from the author (only had one question). I am living from Internet 12 years and i have a lot of memberships, all with good support. This the first time in my life when i need to ask for a refund because the service/product is not working and the author dont give support (and the first time kicked from a site). Maybe in the future you will have a similar experience and you will remember me. Bye

1 feed that supposedly doesn't work does not equal a broken plugin and certainly not a scam. Especially just because you don't get a 24-hour turnaround on Christmas Day by someone who's full-time job is working in a church. You will get your refund. Clearly you were looking for a 'paradise', and did not find that. I doubt you will anywhere online, but if you do, more power to you. One man's trash is another's treasure. Thanks for being part of our community for the short time you were here.

1 feed? ALL the feeds are not working. As i said there was other members trying to help me and they have other feeds (btw tested even with NASA feed). And i never asked for help on the same Christmas day. This post is from 26-december and the previous post i answered on Christmas day, but i was waiting a few days for the answer.

@Vicentin: You'be been a member of our community for 4 weeks. Only four weeks. You've ran into all sorts of technical "issues" with all sorts of things. Like @MacApple suggests, I think Buzztouch is the wrong solution for you. Open Source may not be the best option. I say this because there are so many technical problems you're running into, so many people trying to help you, and so much energy put into passing judgement and insults (on your behalf) that nobody is winning here. Literally, everyone's losing. You're apps aren't getting done. Lots of people spending lots of time to try to help to no avail. I have no idea what you're running into. All I know is that you're having trouble and continue to insult and offend people that are doing nothing more than trying to help you. I realize there may be a language barrier here but your choice of words, and general demeanor is unacceptable on our forums. Member or not. Be kind - period. Ultimately it's up to you to determine if you want to continue using Buzztouch to create apps. If you do, great. But, please find a way to be positive and constructive while using the forum to ask for help. Thanks...and as usual, we wish you luck in your app making endeavors. David Book buzztouch.com

Hi David, 4 weeks? i dont know exactly the day but i'm sure is more than 28 days, my first post on the forum after been playing with the BT panel a few days was more than one month ago: https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=1BE9B4AC18866E06347B78F I think that after more than one month lost due to (only) BT and plugins problems is enough time for be angry. "You've ran into all sorts of technical "issues" with all sorts of things" You talk like if i had dozens of problems but I only had problems with the two plugins bought from Chris1. First was menu image advanced, not working because he forgot a piece of code and you were travelling so the plugin market were not updated (i was waiting a few days for the update working with a manual fix). I've started only 6 posts in more than one month!!! (and 2 are for the same plugin from Chris), thas is "all sorts of technical issues"? All the threads from me are related to BT or plugins bugs, for example, one post is because you forgot to say in your instructions that you must delete the file google-play-services-remove.jar or you cannot compile the project (there a lot of wrong tutorials here). My first user experience with this market: I bought a non working product and bad support because i must wait because the admin is travelling a few days. Like when you buy a new mobile phone and not power on and you must wait for a solution. "I think Buzztouch is the wrong solution for you. Open Source may not be the best option" I'm working with all kind of open source a lot of years (my company have a big and well known network in Spain). I have too some Android apps developed with templates or self coding before starting with BT (my self coding is very basic, thats the only reason because i tried BT). Yesterday night for example i bought another template from codecanyon without problems (because their authors MUST give support if you have a problem (and not posting in a forum...). Today will be available on Google Play, all without problems. Maybe you must change that phrase for "I think Buzztouch SUPPORT is not enough good for companies like yours who are looking for good services". I prefer to pay more and have good customer service that a free product without any warranty. "Lots of people spending lots of time to try to help to no avail" yes, dozens of persons were dozens of hours working for me, don't make me laugh and don't lie!! I only have been helped two times, one was SmugWimp (very good man) at https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=2D628F51FF41601651FE24C (without success and he is an experienced member), and the other is Sandeep (another very good guy) and he have THE SAME problems with the RSS Android plugin (blank screen). They are experienced members and had the same problems but your sentence is "open source is not for you". Ridiculous. "All I know is that you're having trouble and continue to insult and offend people that are doing nothing more than trying to help you" When i insulted to anyone who is helping me? The only insult is to Chris1 (and is not and insult, is a reality). To sell a non tested/working product and dont give support is a scam, so the seller is a scammer, or maybe in Canada is different? ;-) Is the only "insult" i have said on this forum (and i still think the same because he is not giving any solution, and you know the plugin dont works and still is on the market instead of retiring so the scam continues, double reason now). "general demeanor is unacceptable on our forums" Can you tell me another post where i am angry or similar? i was very patience and gentle all the time. Paying for plugins who must work the same day and having to wait days (or never having working the plugin, like rss android). As i said, BT "Gang" dont have idea about customer service. You are one month playing with my time and money (remember, chris and you are guilty of all my issues) and i cannot express my opinion to the site admins or plugin authors?. In my company we have a call center for customer service because we work for online casinos, every day we receive insults of people who lost a lot of money or cannot continue playing because he lost the connection and be sure, NEVER, NEVER, one of my employees will say "take your money and go out". We solve the problem to the customer and then, if needed, we will tell him "please, be more gentle the next time or we can close your account, on the other side of this phone line there are persons like you". THAT IS A GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE. Here is different, I was invited to take my money and go out by MacApple. I appreciate your invitation to stay here but be sure, now i dont want stay here. And as i said, he started a war with that comment (never in my life i was fired from any forum or site). One of my employees is developing this morning a spanish site about BT (buzztouch.es) where I will write my experiences. We are SEO experts, in a few weeks we will rank better than you for the spanish market. By other way i am waiting my money back 3 days. Is not a lot of money but is my money ;-) Sorry but is impossible to work withuout any warranty. Anyone can sell a plugin and then dissapears, good job! LoL Bye
