  • Platform information:
    • Hardware: Intel 32 bit
    • OS: windows 7 + android 11
    • Java Runtime Environment: build 1.8.0_421-b09
    • openHAB version: 1.8
      Good evening, I have been using Openhab 1.8 for many years and due to lack of time I cannot upgrade to the new version. And recently the Android application stopped working. The message “Value<?xml of type java.lang.String cannot be converted to JSONObject” is thrown. At the same time, working through the browser is successful.
      Please help.

hi, OH 1 is not supported in the android app anymore. rollback to the old android client
edit: it seems the support was restored last week

upgrade to 3.16.2

@mueller-ma perhaps like ios app, the android app could be split into two different apps: “openHAB v1” for backwards compatibility and a current “openHAB”?

As @vanja the support for server version 1 has been restored in 3.16.2, which is currently distributed to 50% of the Play Store users. Having two apps is more overhead than the support for openHAB 1. Also Google might remove one version than as they are “too identical”, as they did with the beta version.

Can you trace which request causes error? The basicui and sitemaps dodn’t change much since 1.8. It is possible that android app requests something which is not available in legacy releases.

Thank you! upgrade to 3.16.2 solved the problem
