method createScene2() does not work on Android

[mehdighaharian]

In Chapter5.cpp there is a call to createScene2() inside a callback method:

programmers-guide-samples/cpp/src/chapter5/Chapter5.cpp

Line 53 in 4449554

Director::getInstance()->replaceScene(createScene2());

I ran this Chapter5.cpp without any problem on Linux (Xubuntu 16.04), but it doesn't work on Android.
Actually, on Android the scene1 showed but when I tap on "Make A New Scene" the app crashes!
I tested it on three devices: HTC one X9 (API 23) , HTC one XL (API 17) and Nexux 5x (API 26). All of them crashed when I tapped on "Make A New Scene" in chapter5.
What is it for?

@slackmoehrle is the new doc uses the same sample repo?

[slackmoehrle]

We havent updated the samples in a long time but yes the docs sample code is based upon this repo

[slackmoehrle]

@minggo Perhaps I should spend some time updating these samples to work again on iOS and Android? @linshun what do you think? We haven't touched these in a while. This is our sample code that goes along with the Programmers Guide content.

[minggo]

Yep, i think it is needed if new docs use it.

[linshun]

I agree that we should update it if it is used in new docs.

[slackmoehrle]

OK. I will do it in the next few days. I have been working on the discourse upgrading.

[slackmoehrle]

@mehdighaharian can you tell me which branch you are using?

[mehdighaharian]

@slackmoehrle
I opened the main page of programmers-guide-samples and didn't pay attention to which branch I wanted to download. Then downloaded it as a zip file.
So, I think I used default branch which is v3.10 .

[slackmoehrle]

@mehdighaharian I think v3.16 should work fine on Android. I think I am going to update the v3.16 branch to use Android Studio though.

[mehdighaharian]

@slackmoehrle I will test v3.16 on my Android devices as soon as possible. I will post the result here.
Good to mention that I am using stable version 3.16 to compile the classes.

[mehdighaharian]

I downloaded the branch v3.16 and copied the codes into the project and compiled with android-25.
I tested it on the same devices I mentioned earlier. Only on HTC oneXL (api 17) the probelm was solved. But on two other devices, it didn't work.
My HTC oneXL has a custom rom.
Has anyone tested the branch v3.16 on any device without any problem?
