    Hello, The proper method is Titanium.Android.Activity.startActivity. Follow the guide here http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/api/Titanium.Android.Activity-method-startActivity Please provide the code that you are testing. Also, provide full list of steps to follow. Use the latest SDK 5.2.0.GA for your test. Thanks.

    Guys, I wrote about *Lenovo A630* Android *4.0.4*. Can you help me to find bug if you can't test on this device and android version. What changed from 5.1.2.GA to 5.2.0.GA that can lead to this exception? I have this device for test.
  5. Sharif AbuDarda 2016-03-13

    Hello, We don't have the device you mentioned, Also Genymotion emulator does not provide this model. I would suggest you try on a different device and see if the error occurs. Thanks.
  6. Andrey Tkachenko 2016-03-13

    You can test with sdk emulator. Screenshot attached.
  7. Ashraf Abu 2016-03-14

    Tested with 5.2.0.GA with an Ally app. Able to reproduce. Moved ticket to TIMOB.

    Tested this on both Alloy and Classic on 5.2.0.GA on an Android 4.0.3 emulator. Able to reproduce the crash. It seems there's something going on in Android 4.0.X. Will be investigating this. [~falko]
