Description

Thanks for privacy browser, it's my main browser since quite some time. The stack trace below refers to the latest version available from f-droid.

Lately (since a few months at least) I am experiencing an issue when opening the bookmarks or the menu upon staring the application. The application immediately crashes with the following stack trace:

```

```

After manually entering any url and opening a first webpage, the app behaves correctly.

In the settings I have "" (an empty string) as homepage, in case it helps with reproducing the bug.

Try installing the ALT version from https://www.stoutner.com/privacy-browser-android/changelog/. The ALT version can be installed alongside your current version and will be differentiated by the icon having the word TEST.

Launch the ALT version and see if you can replicate this crash without making any modifications to the settings. If not, export your settings from your current version and import them into ALT and see if that causes the crash.

I can confirm that the alt version works with pristine settings and that after importing the settings from the main installation it crashes.

I can reliably reproduce the crash by performing these two changes:
- setting the homepage as empty
- setting the main bar of the app to be at the bottom of the screen

Edit: To be clear: starting from default settings and applying these two changes is sufficient to make the app crash when opening a side panel after launch and before opening a webpage.

I thought the main bar at bottom could be the culprit because it also caused issues a few months ago (that I can't remember honestly :-)
I can provide an export of the settings if needed, just let me know.

I am still not able to replicte your problem. Here is a link to a video I recorded with the ALT version of 3.18.1.

https://nextcloud.stoutner.com/s/4kKGY9GHiYoxXKm

Settings changed from default:

1. Bottom app bar.
2. Homepage set to be blank.
3. Allow screenshots (so that the video could be recorded). Note that I did not experience a crash with this either enabled or disabled.

Could you please attach a video of the crash happening on your device? Perhaps there is something in the way it behaves that would provide me a clue as to what is happening.

Please find the video attached.
First part: open the menu (crash)
Second part: try to swipe in the bookmarks (crash)
In the thirt part of the video a "fix" of sorts I found out by chance: if I close the IME (which is standard AOSP) before opening either side drawer, they do work.

I tried debugging the app but the stack trace seems to be too deep in android internal methods for me to make sense of them.

Are you perchance using a custom launcher? I noticed that you appear to have a custom icon shape. The reason why I ask is because I experienced one other difficult-to-diagnose bug years ago that ended up being caused by a custom launcher.

Actions #9

Updated by Daniele Gobbetti 14 days ago

I'm using the stock launcher of calyxos, in all honesty I don't know if/how much it would be considered custom but usually they are very close to AOSP. App infos (of the launcher) shows name is Quickstep and package id is com.android.launcher3

I believe theme and shape of launcher icons are part of the android 14 standard theming options, at least I performed the changes from the system theme settings.

Actions #10

Updated by Soren Stoutner 14 days ago

Being able to set icon themes like that used to be part of Android, but it was removed a while back (about Android 12 or so, much to my dismay). I don't know for sure if it was removed from the AOSP or just from Google's Pixel build, but without taking time to look into it I would imagine that the most likely scenario is that Google removed it from AOSP and CalyxOS put it back in.

I would suggest you try opening a bug report with CalyxOS (and reference this bug report) to see if they know what is going on here. I recommend this for three reasons.

1. I have been unable to replicate the buggy behavior on my device, even with identical settings.

2. The initial part of the crash log indicates to me the problem is something with the OS and not something inside of Privacy Browser:

at k0.O.i(Unknown Source:930)
at k0.s.b(Unknown Source:62)

3. You mentioned that the crash doesn't happen if you close the OS keyboard before interacting with Privacy Browser. To me, that also points to the crash happening somewhere in the OS/IME code and not in Privacy Browser itself.

Actions #11

Updated by Daniele Gobbetti 14 days ago

At least I can provide unredact logcat after installing a locally compiled alt version as mentioned previously (sorry I could have done it earlier).

Also actually I do use helium keyboard and reverted to stock AOSP just to make the issue as reproducible as possible (this stack track is with helium keyboard set as IME)

I will try to reach out to calyxos developers, but maybe you find additional pointers here (I could not find the code where the ``onRequestHide`` rows are outputted in the codebase, and those inverted three lines are the only difference I can spot between the two cases...

These are the entries from launching up to the app opening up:

Thank you for the detailed logcat.

I think the core of this problem has something to do with how the OS is calculating insets. Notice the `InsetsController` line right here before the crash.

Insets are parts of the OS that force the app to get smaller, like the keyboard coming up from the bottom or a cutout for a camera. The OS calculates insets and resizes the app accordingly.

That would explain why this bug only manifests with the bottom app bar. The top app bar doesn't have to adjust for an inset when the keyboard is open. It would also explain why this only manifests when the homepage is set to a blank string. If the homepage is populated, they keyboard is not automatically displayed when the app starts, but if the homepage is null then the keyboard automatically displays because it the most likely user action is to type a URL.

Opening either of the drawers automatically closes the keyboard. Opening the options menu has to calculate the inset for the displayed keyboard so the menu is above it. In either case, if something in the OS hasn't fully initialized the inset caused by the keyboard being displayed, this could trigger a crash.

Privacy Browser have very simple code that relates to the displaying of the keyboard. When the app opens, if the homepage is null, it runs this code:

// Display the keyboard.
inputMethodManager.showSoftInput(urlEditText, 0)

https://gitweb.stoutner.com/?p=PrivacyBrowserAndroid.git;a=blob;f=app/src/main/java/com/stoutner/privacybrowser/activities/MainWebViewActivity.kt;h=2f9b09e4263df03238f83436ac36c64aa4143530;hb=HEAD#l5665

When a drawer is opened, it runs this code to hide the keyboard:

// Hide the keyboard (if displayed).
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(currentWebView!!.windowToken, 0)

https://gitweb.stoutner.com/?p=PrivacyBrowserAndroid.git;a=blob;f=app/src/main/java/com/stoutner/privacybrowser/activities/MainWebViewActivity.kt;h=2f9b09e4263df03238f83436ac36c64aa4143530;hb=HEAD#l4577

Something about interacting with the app (closing and opening the keyboard, loading a URL) fixes the issue with the `InsetController`. I would be interested to know what that is. When you create the CalyxOS bug, please post a link to it here. I would like to follow along.

Many thanks for the additional details.

Another Calyxos user could reproduce the issue: https://matrix.to/#/!aZmLRhgGyXgdVmhzoH:matrix.org/$kkF5AJ9pNXsLpGWPnf2i11qkc0OKCjqPlZXafV8fN04?via=matrix.org&via=calyx.dev&via=nitro.chat

One of the main calyxos devs asked whether you're running android 14 or an older version just to exclude upstream is to blame.

I've noticed that you're using gesture navigation and the "navigation indicator" at the bottom of the screen was shown in your video, while on my phone I'm using gesture navigation with the indicator hidden.
Indeed if I configure the phone to show the indicator, the app does not crash! I'm wondering if you could hide the navigation indicator and see what happens, or if this is a calyxos specific feature.

Here is the link to the issue I opened for calyxos:

As far as I know that is not a standard Android feature and there is no provision for removing the navigation indicator on an unmodified Pixel. If this is something custom CalyxOS has enabled, I could see it being the root cause of the problem.

Thank you. I'll probably wait until I see the upstream bug resolved.
