Android application runs on an emulator, but not on a real device

Question

I just wrote this simple application for testing: one button that displays the date and time, and another button that selects a random color and displays it. It works fine on the emulator, but the buttons do nothing (don't work) when I try to run the application on a real device.

Can someone help me understand why?

MainActivity.java:

package yuvallevy.allyouneedapp;

import android.graphics.Color;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;

import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Random;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private Button btnShowTime;
    private Button btnRandomColor;
    private TextView timeText;
    private TextView randomColorView;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        btnRandomColor = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnRandomColor);
        btnShowTime = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnShowTime);
        timeText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.timeText);
        randomColorView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.randomColorView);

        btnShowTime.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                String currentDataTimeString = java.text.DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance().format(new Date());
                timeText.setText(currentDataTimeString);
            }
        });

        btnRandomColor.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Random rnd = new Random();
                int color = Color.argb(255, rnd.nextInt(256), rnd.nextInt(256), rnd.nextInt(256));
                randomColorView.setBackgroundColor(color);
            }
        });
    }
}

Answer 1

I suspect this obvious problem is with the attribute android:supportsRtl="true"and the various API levels of your device / emualtor.

:

Android: supportsRtl

, Right-to-left (RTL). true targetSdkVersion 17 , API RTL , RTL. false targetSdkVersion 16 , RTL API , , ( ).

- false.

API 17.

If Instant Run is activated, this will cause some classes to move. Disabling Instant Run Go to File → Settings → Build, Run, Deploy → Instant Launch → uncheck the box “Enable Instant Launch”
