Class segmentation fault (11)

Question

Please follow the steps below:

1. Create New Firemonkey Moblie Application
2. Add TGeustureManager component to the Form

3. Add 2 TButton components to the Form

   • Button1.Text: "Button1: Do something..."
   • Button2.Text: "Button2: Exit Application..."

   

4. Double click on Button2 Component and write the following code for OnClick Event:

   procedure TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
   begin
     if MessageDlg('Are you sure you want to Exit?', TMsgDlgType.mtWarning,
             [TMsgDlgBtn.mbYes, TMsgDlgBtn.mbNo], 0) = mrYes then
       SharedActivity.finish;
   end;
   

5. Run the application in debug mode.

6. on the device, click the button 2, then click yes to the popped up message. An exception will appear:

   

Why is this exception raised?

I thought it is related to unused TGeustureManager component. but NO it is NOT:

1. If you open the Location Demo project that comes with Delphi xe5.
2. Add TButton component to Location Label as shown in the image below:
3. Add the same code as above to OnClick Event.
4. Run the application, and click on Button5, you will get the same exception.

Is this a bug should I report? or am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

Possibly that you are killing the activity that is running, before its execution flow has been exhausted, thereby causing problems. Much like freeing a form in a form method....

What happens if you replace:

SharedActivity.finish

with:

uses
  FMX.Helpers.Android;
...
CallOnUIThread(procedure begin SharedActivity.finish end);

Answer 2

I have contacted Embarcadero for this issue.

They said that it is because TApplication.Terminate is not yet implemented in FireMonkey platform for mobile.

They open a ticket to implement TApplication.Terminate in nex hot fix.

Let's hope that will not take ages.
