Hello,

Please make sure that you are using API level 8 or above. If the problem still existed we would need your APK.
Could you please send us your APK to [email protected] in order to fix this issue?

Hello,

It looks like the APK uses special characters (%) in its string resources. The compiler could have a problem with that. You could wait for the next Ranorex version (4.0.0 approx. in 2 weeks) or install the latest APKtool version.

APK-Tool:
Could you please update to the new APKTool and replace files in
'C:\program files\ranorexXX\bin\rxenv\Android\tools\apktool' and
'C:\users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\RanorexStudioXX\RxEnv\Android\tools\apktool.
Finally, you would need to instrument it.

Additional information about percent symbol can be found here.

Regards,
Markus (T)

Hi Markus,

I update to ranorex 4.0,
but also can't Instrument android apk,
our apk has string such as

Code: Select all

<string formatted="false" name="select_playlist_add_success_toast">%d chanson(s) a/ont été ajoutée(s) à la playlist \"%s\".</string>
<string formatted="false" name="select_info_items_selected">%d albums sélectionnés\n%d éléments sélectionnés\nTotal %.2f Mo</string>
<string name="exit_toast">Sélectionnez Retour à nouveau pour quitter.</string>

I'm not sure which string has issue, ranorex 4.0 do not show error detail.
This error is in french language xml.

Although, I can delete a french language xml to fix this bug.
Can this bug will fix at the future? : )

Thanks you for your help.
Best Regards,
Robert Chen.

Hello,

Is it possible to get your APK file in order to analyze this issue.
You could send it to [email protected].

Hello,

Since APK-Tool is a 3rd-Party-Tool we could not provide a fix for this issue.
We have no influence how APK-Tool combile/decompile source code with our library.
As soon as there is a fix for APK-Tool Ranorex will support it as well.

In order to fix this issue you would have 3 options:
1) change resource strings in your xml file as you did it before
2) instrument APK manually as documented in section 'Instrumentation with Source Code' our User Guide
3) post an issue in APK-Tool forum to be fixed in later versions of APK-Tool
