Background: This thread was split off from another topic to discuss problems with HabPanelViewer on Android 13/14 devices. Specifically, the HPV app crashes when the user attempts to select items for controlling the HPV app or sending device data to an openHAB server. As a result, it’s not possible …

Shoot. I don’t have that version of Fire OS, so unfortunately I can’t help you troubleshoot. The only thing I can think of is that Fire OS has a different feature for gesture navigation, separate from main navigation. My Samsung devices have “One-handed navigation” as an option, which enables me to…

Does HPV (v0.9.27) work for you under OH4.2? I did the settings and can display the page. But as soon as I try to select the command item to interact with OH (or any other item e.g. for sensor connection) HPV crashes. Maybe you have any idea? The log says status url missing but the url is set (w…

I’m still on 4.1.1, and haven’t changed my HPV config in a long time. Now I’m kind of afraid to touch it. Does this happen for you on multiple devices?

now I tried on another device with the same result. One is Android 13, the other is 14. I don’t think REST has changed, so could you try to install on another device?

Tried it on my Samsung tablet running Android 13, and it’s the same as you. If I click on a field to enter in an openHAB item, it crashes or restarts. My Fire HD 10 is using Fire OH 7, which is only Android 9. @pilspeda , what happens to you when you’re using the classic button navigation? I think …

could you try exporting the settings from your working device and then importing into the non-working?

I feel like we’re pretty far off-topic now. @rlkoshak , can you split this into its own thread from #9 onward? @Larsen , have you successfully imported settings before? Both of my tablets can export, but neither can see the HPV.prefs file when I try to import. So I wonder if it ever worked.

yes, I exported, changed some settings and imported the prefs-file and settings were successfully changed back. Could you post your settings-file (maybe without server name) so I could try to manually insert the parts for the command item and a sensor item in my prefs-file?

I just sent you the HPV.prefs file in a PM.

That’s funny. Mine looks quite different. I could not even select your file to import. Well, sad to let HPV go, but I’m out of ideas. Which version are you using?
