I am suddenly getting the following message my Samsung Galaxy 3 tablet.... Something's not right There was a problem loading the app's configuration data. See the LogCat (console) output in Eclipse. (2) This just started an hour ago. Since then I have "cleaned" my code, restarted the Eclipse, my tablet, my Windows 7 computer.... There is an error line about JSON but I am not familiar with deciphering the log. I will post it here....and thank you for any assistance.

Hi, Your json config.txt has character/s missing. Use this website: http://www.jsonlint.com/ To find the line where you are probably missing ; or } It should tell you which line. Then paste it back into the config.txt file inside of Eclipse.

Thank for the response... I think I found a more sinister problem which I think is in the following line. {"itemId":"1E7A1AC33D1A7F3CC3DCB17", "itemType":"BT_menuItem", "titleText":"Profit, Risk & Leadership""loadScreenWithItemId":"AB93F051943317B73E66460"} One of my co-workers (they will pay) put a concatenation operator in a book title...the dreaded ampersand. I took it out of the menu and BAM!.....it's working. I know using ampersands are always risky in most scripting languages but this one slipped by me. Thanks Anthony

awesome! jsonlint is a life saver :)

Try putting a reverse slash… Like "Profit, Risk \& Leadership" and see if that helps any… Cheers! -- Smug

I found this topic using the term "loadScreenWithItemId". I used the BuzzTouch app tool for the first time and successfully imported the project files after viewing Mark Fleming's great tutorial for Android Studio users at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsLTfaajeqg&feature=youtu.be. I got the "Something's not quite right" message when I tried to run the project on the emulator. The console log revealed a problem with the JSON. Using a validator online (http://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com - really nice, since it highlights the problems found), I was able to isolate the problems at the menu items sector (sample entry: {"itemId":"7C47BF00BD4C3E689F268EC", "itemType":"BT_menuItem", "titleText":"View A Presentation""loadScreenWithItemId":"3AD8F82A9D209734A4E7FA2"},). The validator tool indicated for all eight entries in my home menu the following: "Error:Expecting comma, colon or }, not string." My problem turned out not to be an ampersand or other type of character that needs an escape character before it - rather, the problem was that there was no comma between the quotes in the "titleText" and "loadScreenWithItemId" items. Putting a comma and a space between those items in all eight menu entries rendered the JSON valid. Since I was dealing with unaltered JSON code when Android Studio revealed the problem, it leads me to think that there might have been some problem with how the original JSON was generated. I am sure glad these forums exist - I may not have discerned the problem without the help I've found here.
