At work I have pretty poor internet connection on my phone. Because of this, sometimes when I try to use the Android app it fails to connect. Instead of this being handled nicely, the Android Stack Exchange application displays a black screen for a few seconds then crashes completely.

Initial Screen

Black Screen

Crash Screen

Not sure if this is a version-specific bug, but I'm experiencing this on Android 4.4.4 with CyanogenMod 11.0-XNPH44S.

    Yep, but for me it doesn't crash, only fades into the black screen and... nothing else (using SGS5 with Android 4.4).

  • I just downloaded the Android app and am getting this exact same error message with an excellent wifi connection and no problems with my other apps. I suspect it's a problem with the app. I only found out yesterday that the Android app existed. Is it new?

  • Well, last time I observed this problem, it didn't crash, but nothing load, so not sure if it's still repro'able or not...

  • Unable to reproduce this with either wifi off or all requests failing.

Tap Report. Those reports are being sent to Google Play so developers can get crash information and, hopefully, fix it.

  • I don't know. I feel reporting it here would be more beneficial than reporting it through Google Play. That and the reason I had this problem in the first place was because I had no internet connection.

  • I doubt Android devs of SE read it here, but you did not include the crash report anyway :-)

  • Yep, thats a good way. But do you really think that SE Android Devs don't look there at all? Of course they do! They implement requests and fix the bugs. Browse through android-app questions and read the description of this tag.
