Problem with publishing CSPro 7.1 application to .pen file for use in Android data collection
Posted: November 27th, 2018, 12:13 am
Hello,
I am working with an application that needs to be published to .pen for use in Android data collection. I first noticed a problem when trying to run the data collection application (Peel.pen) from my Android device with the latest CSEntry (it is called via a separate menu application, but also doesn't work when calling directly either with its own .pff). I believe the issue, or part of it, is a result of an error in attempting to publish the application to its .pen file.
When attempting to publish, the program slightly stalls (gives the typical Windows "Not responding" hanging window briefly) but then finishes. However, there is an empty (albeit 1KB) sized error file (Peel.ent.ERR) produced, and the Peel.pen file that is produced is only 60KB. I am expecting a MUCH larger file size since this version of the application was produced from a core version that publishes to an approximately 200KB .pen file.
To recreate the issue, I have attached the CSPack files (or if for some reason that doesn't work, I can send a link to the full set of applications):
- Open Peel.ent in the latest version of CSPro (7.1.3)
- Attempt to publish the entry application
Assuming it follows what others have also replicated, a .ERR file will be produced (which is empty) and a 60KB Peel.pen file should be produced.
Further background on attempts to debug: as mentioned, I noticed a problem initially when trying to run from CSEntry on my Androids. I was getting errors along the lines of the forum issue on running .pen files on Android (http://www.csprousers.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1707). However, when I placed dummy Peel.pen files (ex. our core program), everything runs perfectly smoothly, indicating that all folders and calls to applications are properly set up and mirroring what I have on my Windows laptop.
Thank you for any help/ideas!
