Did you try this form on older Collect versions? or is it a problem with the newest 1.16.1?
When does it take place? I opened the form answered some questions then saved and opened again and everything looks fine.

Dear Fahad,

I used ODK for 4 years with a team that collect 5000 form per day.

So my recommendations is turn off auto updat and follow odk community when new update is released try it on one tablet if it didn’t crush update the rest.

For now download the old APK file from odk site and download it on the tablets manually.

Regards,

Khamash

I used v1.14.1 and found the same crash report on samsung galaxy tab4.

Fahad_Ghous · July 27, 2018, 11:35am

My previously designed forms are working fine on new version v1.16.1 but this for is creating issue.
can you please check my form if there is any issue?

abdallah_khamash · July 27, 2018, 11:49am

Ok do this test remove all the conditions i inside the from and try to run it .. if it didn’t crush then it’s inside the condition btw I take a look at ur XML .. honestly it’s the first time I every saw XML form in this way so there is a mistake while building the form

Note am using mobile devices so am not sure but this is what I saw

I'm trying to find your crash in reports (btw I encourage you to click Report option any time you notice a crash)
and I found one, could you confirm it's you:

Android: 4.4.2
Device: Galaxy Tab4 7.0
ODK Collect: v1.16.1
a few crashes today

and

Android: 4.4.2
HUAWEI MediaPad
ODK Collect: v1.15.0
One crash yesterday

Fahad_Ghous · July 27, 2018, 12:55pm

I reported a crash report but i cannot confirm that above was by me.

Fahad_Ghous · July 27, 2018, 12:58pm

Galaxy tab 4 report was sent by me

Grzesiek2010 · July 27, 2018, 3:35pm

So I'm almost sure they were reports from your device it also matches to the description you provided.Your problem is StackOverflowError that comes from Javarosa. I'll report the issue and try to investigate it.

Fahad_Ghous · July 28, 2018, 11:27am

@Grzesiek2010
Can you please check the relevance column at row 102 (q305_1)?
The problem persists in this cell.

Grzesiek2010 · July 31, 2018, 12:28pm

That row looks well but the relevance is really long and causes crashes on Android 4 (using newer versions everything may work well).

I tested your form with a small change: S_21836_eng_v3.xlsx (37.3 KB)

I was able to reproduce the issue using your form and Android 4.1.2. Then I split your long relevance into three parts and it works well. So you can use it as a workaround.

I also reported an issue to gather more info whether we can fix the problem: https://github.com/opendatakit/javarosa/issues/355

Thanks @Grzesiek2010.
I already removed that logic and my questionnaire is running fine.

Thanks for the efforts.
