App crashes when opening from market app after installation

Question

I have launched an app on Google Market, but when people open it directly from the Market App after installing, everything crashes. The market app force-closes and you are dropped back to the main screen.

But when my app is started from the main screen, everything works fine. I cannot find a solution to this, neither find anything i have been doing wrong.

Is there anyone that has seen this before?

Update: ANR keyDispatchingTimedOut

Where can i find the crash logs ? I have used an app called log collector, but didnt show any info about this incident — kincaid, Jun 20 '12 at 20:15
There is only 1 error there, despite several known crashes after install. ANR keyDispatchingTimedOut — kincaid, Jun 20 '12 at 20:27
Can you plug in your device after the crash and look at/post the logcat output? — theelfismike, Jun 20 '12 at 20:33
Do you have the same starting conditions for your non-market app - same code, same device, run after fresh installation? — User, Jun 20 '12 at 20:34
Is may be an issue with Intent resolution also. Make sure your filters in your manifest.xml are set up directly. — Frank Sposaro, Jun 20 '12 at 20:36
I had to use pastebin - http://pastebin.com/dJe728PJ , but i am not sure this stacktrace is related. Yes Ixx it is the complete same code, device.. I will look into Intent resolution Frank. have not thought about that as an issue. — kincaid, Jun 20 '12 at 20:42

https://stackoverflow.com/a/5513623/413127 your getting an ANR the logs from Google Play aren't going to help you.

What do you do in the launcher activity of your app. Do you create a database / download some stuff from the internet?

It sounds like it doesn't crash on your local device because this has already been done and so your activity doesn't do whatever long winded code is running on your UI thread.

To attempt to recreate the problem, go into the menu on your emulator and uninstall your application manually (pressing clear data) would also work, alternatively you can use adb:

./adb uninstall com.your.package

Now install the APK that you submitted to the Google Play using ADB something like:

./adb install /folder/to/YourLiveApp.apk

open the app and 9 times out of 10 you should get your ANR error.

The launcher activity presents a alertdialog after checking if the GPS is active, and creates a database for storing information later. I will try to create a splash screen or something like that to avoid this happening. But i cannot re-create this in the simluator:( – kincaid Jun 21 '12 at 16:25
Hmm you'll want to create your DB on the main thread, but access it (read/write) on another thread. You will also want to get location updates in an ASyncTask or Thread. I've actually just written a tutorial showing a splashscreen with ASyncTask http://blog.blundell-apps.com/tut-splashscreen-with-progress-bar/ – Blundell Jun 21 '12 at 18:21
