App crashes on KitKat after AndroidX migration

App crashes on KitKat after AndroidX migration

I've migrated my app to AndroidX to be able to use app:drawableLeftCompat. After migration the app is crashing while running on Android KitKat on one of the screens. When running on Android 7 the app is working fine. There is no stacktraces in ADB log. This is part of the log

From this log I can't understand the reason of crash. Any ideas.

The reason of the crash was in this dependencies

implementation 'com.github.mmin18:realtimeblurview:1.1.2'
implementation 'com.ms-square:etsyblur:0.2.1'

Those libraries are using some rendering mechanism from Support Library that is broken in AndroidX. So we decided to abandon blurred views in applications and deleted dependencies.

This should be fixed in 29.0.2 build tools release. For me renderscript related SIGSEGV was gone with following config:

android {
  compileSdkVersion 29
  buildToolsVersion "29.0.2"
  defaultConfig {
    ...
    minSdkVersion 17
    targetSdkVersion 29
    ...
    renderscriptTargetApi 21
    renderscriptSupportModeEnabled true

I faced this issue and fix it easily using AppCompatImageView instead of ImageView. In addition, I replaced android:src with app:srcCompat for all XML views which set a vector drawable.

Do not forget about other views! If you use TextView or EditText, change them to AppCompatTextView and AppCompatEditText, then use drawable compat where needed.

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/search_text_view"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:drawableStart="@drawable/ic_search_24px_vector"
    android:drawablePadding="8dp" />

After replacing:

<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatTextView
    android:id="@+id/search_text_view"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:drawableStartCompat="@drawable/ic_search_24px_vector"
    android:drawablePadding="8dp" />

I was facing the same problem and got it solved by doing the following:

Replace these two lines:

  // google arch
    implementation "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-extensions:$rootProject.archVersion"
    implementation "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime:$rootProject.archVersion"

By these:

    implementation group: 'android.arch.persistence.room', name: 'runtime', version: '1.1.0'
    annotationProcessor group: 'android.arch.persistence.room', name: 'compiler', version: '1.1.1'
