Fatal crash in API 35 from FileNotFoundException on init call

[shobhik]

Hi there,

DBFlow Version: 4.2.4

Bug or Feature Request: Bug for sure

Description: When pushing to API 33 on a fresh install, I get an exception on FlowManager.init() but the new DB is successfully initialized. When pushing to a VM with API 35, there is a fatal crash with an identical stacktrace.

Hey @shobhik facing the same issue, did you find a solution or any workaround?
I am pointing to API 35

[shilpidaswani]

okay I found the solution that works like a charm

instead of calling
FlowManager.init()

call
FlowManager.init(new FlowConfig.Builder(this).build());

because the 'com.github.raizlabs.dbflow' v 3.++ above expects 1 argument
check this out " public static void init( @nonnull com. raizlabs. android. dbflow. config. FlowConfig flowConfig )
Initializes DBFlow, loading the main application Database holder via reflection one time only. This will trigger all creations, updates, and instantiation for each database defined."

@shilpidaswani thanks for following up!

So the way we were using DBFlow was actually using that method signature you mentioned earlier. It was crashing in API 35 Beta 1, but it doesn't crash anymore with API 35 Beta 3, which I believe is now the stable version. We still get an exception in the logs, but it's no longer fatal.

Whew!
