Android 12 Importing CAN file

General Bugs and troubleshooting
1

Hey guys,

Diving into RealDash for the first time.
I have Android 12 device with the latest version of RealDash.

Am trying to import a Custom Channel Description File being a CAN file for a Motec ECU and I keep getting the error message: “No Apps can perform this action”.

Upon searching, I found some threads relating to this and stated a external file manager app was required to allow this action.
I have installed three other external file managers without any success.

Any suggestions? I have the XML file currently on a USB external drive connected to the Android 12 device.

Cheers
Ben

We have had good success with Amaze file manager, have you tried that?

Cheers.

Long term update.

Installed Amaze File Manager, this now works, thanks for that!

The issue I now get is when uploading a custom XML from either Amaze or Google Drive, I get the error: "Failed to parse channel description file ‘xxxxx.xml’

Any insight into this one?

That error message is shown if there is an error in XML file and it can’t be parsed. Open your XML file in a good source code editor, like VS Code as it will highlight any syntax problems on the XML file.

In the current version of RD, this message (“Failed to parse channel description file ‘xxxxx.xml’”) appears quite frequently, causing my dashboard to stop working without mouse intervention. The XML file is guaranteed to be correct. I’m not new to this. The problem is specifically with file parsing.

We are aware of this. Just are unable to reproduce this issue on any of our test devices.

Is your Android device from forum user Falcon_S?

No, but it’s the same. FYT 8581A.
and I have to use old versions of RD. (((

UPD. And yes, it’s a bit difficult to reproduce. You have to wait for the android to fall asleep (about 1 minute) and wake up. 5-10 times.
