Android app crashing. OS(?)

MattDiaz

Hi. I designed one experiment that I need to run on an Android tablet. When I test the experiment, it works just fine. However, when I copy the file to my tablet, I open the OpenSesame app and select the folder, then the experiment, and then I set the participant's number. Just when it is about to start, the app crashes and the experiment doesn't run. When I check the debug file, it reads the following error messages

failed to load plugin 'form_text_display'

item-stack:
exception type: ImportError
exception message: No module named items.qtautoplugin

Traceback:
File "opensesame/libopensesame/item_store.py", line 161, in new
File "opensesame/libopensesame/plugins.py", line 361, in load_plugin
File "opensesame/libopensesame/plugins.py", line 338, in import_plugin
File "opensesame/opensesame_plugins/form_text_display/form_text_display.py", line 22, in <module>
ImportError: No module named items.qautoplugin

The thing is, my tablet has Android 7.0 and, when I tried running the very same file on a different tablet (with Android 6.0) I didn't have any problems and I could complete the experiment.

Is there a problem with the form plugin on Android 7.0 that crashes the app? Am I missing something important to set up before I run it on this OS? Is the app not working on Nougat?

Hi Matt,

The OpenSesame runtime for Android is indeed broken on recent versions of Android. For more information, see:

- http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/3.2/manual/android/

If possible, I would recommend using a Windows tablet instead, because this will allow you to use the full version of OpenSesame.

Alternatively, and again if possible, you can downgrade the version of Android on your tablet.

Cheers!
