UIDroid on ONN Box not starting

[bphillips09]

Hi,

I'm trying UIDroid for the first time, and installed it via ADB on an ONN 4K box. When starting the application, it shows a black screen for a few seconds then crashes. Attached is an abbreviated logcat log. Here seems to be the main culprit:

Code:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.view.View android.view.ViewGroup.findViewById(int)' on a null object reference

It doesn't look like it didn't discover any servers on your local subnet. Maybe clear data for uidroid and try again.

Also if the ONN is new did you do the OTA update?

Martin, thanks for the quick reply.

My server is cloud-hosted, is it not possible to use UIDroid with a non-local server?

The ONN Box is new but is up-to-date.

When it fails it should launch settings and allow you to set a manual IP, I connect to a VPS this way, but it has been a long time since I have tested with all my local servers down. That is why I asked for you to try again after installing.

I've tried clearing data and relaunching, as well as re-installing and launching with a different launcher. Same issue every time, it crashes and reports

Code:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.view.View android.view.ViewGroup.findViewById(int)' on a null object reference

ActivityManager: Process com.emveepee.uidroid (pid 7718) has died: vis+99 TOP

For reference:

UIDroid is version 1.5.8
Onn 4K Box is firmware 1.01.36 Version 10, Kernel 4.9.180

I will have a look later on, its a pain to test, I usually have 3 or 4 local servers running and I've broken this initialization before. You also can try running a temporary local instance of NextPVR without tuners and the connect that way and then go to settings.

I set up a temporary local instance but it just shows the UI with no settings options. How can I access the settings to change the URL from the UI Client?

Thanks!

Got it working now - last related question: If I wanted to display the Groups popup which is "Long 5️⃣" for Android (my remote doesn't have Green), how does that work without a numeric keypad?
