Android System Webview crashes

VIM4 Android
1

Which version of system do you use? Khadas official images, self built images, or others?

Khadas official Android 11 64bit

Please describe your issue below:

We are experiencing crashes in the webview. The included webview has version 83.0.4103.120, packageName com.android.webview, which is quite old (May 2020).

A newer version of the webview (108.0.5359.128) is available from Play store but cannot be used on the system since the packageName, com.google.android.webview, does not match the webviewprovider packageNames.

Is there a way to install a newer version of the webview on the vim4 board or allow it to use the ones provided from Play Store?

Post a console log of your issue below:

There is also a crashpad minidump I can post if that helps.

I have just installed the latest 29/12-2020 version of Android using oowow. It looks as the new release use the same version of system WebView. I still get the crash in libwebviewchromium.so.

Hello @Tomas

@goenjoy will help you about this issue.

Hi,@Tomas, could you provide a higher-level error message or the usage of calling webview?such as exception message,app if possible.I don’t know how to reproduce the crash.

Hi @PeterLin,

Thanks for reaching out! Yesterday I had problems logging in to the forum while working from home. But now I am back at the office.

I have tried to capture the error using chrome://inspect remotely but the recording stops as soon as I encounter the crash and no data is saved. The only log I can see is the logcat output, pasted below. The crashpad output was too long to paste here, I can email if needed.

The webview is a thin wrapper loading a transparent UI on top of a natively rendered GLES surface. I will continue to work on getting a minimal sample apk in place.

As a side note we can see similar issues loading the web page on windows desktop if we use Chrome 83.0.4103.116. We do not have these kind of problems with latest versions of Chrome or Edge.

My impression is that the crash happen when the loaded page in the webview starts communicating with our backend server. Some message passed from the backend to the client in the webserver trigger a bug in chrome.

8

hi,@Tomas .I still can’t judge the cause of the crash through the information you provided.I created a app that contains webview ui view to load web resource.And it seem run normally. What version is the firmware?I try my best to reproduce the crash.At last,please provide the app If your app is progressing.

9

I have now created a (not so small) sample application that causes the webview (version 83) to crash. Can I upload/email an apk somewhere. I can also upload a zip with the requires java-code if needed.

Hi all, I wanted to buy a VIM1S to run my Home Assistant Dashboard. Since my 32 inch touch monitor has to run in portrait mode and I want to install the Fully Browser Kiosk app because it is the only app that really allows a lot of automations.

I have an Android TV box here so far, it has an AOSP Android 11 with an outdated webview (also with a V83 webview) so the app is not displayed fullscreen in portrait mode.
A test with a Raspberry pi 4 and Lineageos and current Webview works without problems but I can’t use the Pi because it crashes my Ubiquiti surveillance camera app. So I am looking for alternatives.
Is there any chance to get a new webview version?

11

@Tomas Please send the app and code to my email.My email is peter.lin@wesion.com.

12

Hi @PeterLin ,
I have sent you an email with the sample code and an apk.

13

Sorry,@Tomas ,I did not receive your email.Could you send email to peter.lin@wesion.com again?

14

@Brot123 We have managed to install version 108 on the vim4 in order to test if a newer version resolved our issue (which it did). The new version of the webview worked well for us, but rooting the system is not viable long-term for us.

The steps we did for testing the new version of the webview were:

  1. Install Magisk (like super-su) GitHub - topjohnwu/Magisk: The Magic Mask for Android
  2. Install riru GitHub - RikkaApps/Riru: Inject into zygote process
  3. Install LSPosed GitHub - LSPosed/LSPosed: LSPosed Framework
  4. Install AnyWebView module in LSPosed (either through in-app browser or from GitHub - neoblackxt/AnyWebView: Any WebView is OK!)

If you are unable to install the modules (.zip) in Magisk for some reason, try doing it in a root adb shell with the ‘magisk’ command.

@PeterLin I sent you another email with only the source code since the APK was quite large. Did you get my latest email?

16

@Tomas Still did not receive the email.Please send to my another email 3570692734@qq.com again or upload the resources to netdisc.

17

@PeterLin Ok. I have forwarded my original emails to the new adress.

18

@Tomas I think your email service may have some problem.Mail never received.Try to upload the resources to netdisc?

19

@PeterLin What is the url of netdisc?

20

@Tomas Choose your usual network disk that can free download resources preferably and upload the apk and source code.
