looks like Android Pie breaks Robin. @33MHz

@doctorlinguist arr! a lot breaks Robin. :'( Let's see... I was in the middle of replacing the HTTP library...

@33MHz @doctorlinguist Maybe the same problem - Robin crashes when I open a post (Android 8.0)

@schmidt_fu any post?

@33MHz Hmm, it crashed with any post so far. Today it works. I guess it happens after a certain amount of time/posts/reloads.

@schmidt_fu ah, perhaps. I think whatever's handling memory is preeeetty bad. Image issue makes sense, as I think it just doesn't know what it's loading, and sometimes it's too much overall (that is, it inconsistently breaks on a single image).

@schmidt_fu and the image handler is an old custom lib.

Yeah, now it crashes with big images, threads, user profiles. Memory could be a pointer (pun intended) in the right direction!

@bayprogrammer Wait - you write in Java. Want to work on ancient Android?? :D

@33MHz I forgot where I put my memory handler… // @schmidt_fu

@33MHz I'm not proficient with Java (at least not yet). I've really only barely started learning (largely in support of my desire to use Clojure and Scala).

@33MHz @bayprogrammer What are y’all hacking on, and how ancient is the targetSdkVersion?

@jws I was trying to Trojan Horse the robin project [github.com] onto him. targetSDKVersion is 28… Some old libraries need to be replaced, far's I can tell. There are better ways for it to be organized. Ideally it would have a decent makeover. @bayprogrammer

@33MHz @bayprogrammer Hmm, GPL3. That limits library selection [gnu.org] , but not as bad as GPL2.

@33MHz @schmidt_fu It jettisons its cache on low memory. But doesn’t truncate its LIFO queue of WIP image loading tasks. So that may do it.
