Crash when poor or no connection with widgets

Home Assistant Android version: 2022.3.0-full

Android version: 12

Phone model: Pixel 5

Home Assistant version: 2022.3.8

Last working Home Assistant release (if known): ??

Description of problem: I have several widgets. One of them to display an entity and 22 service calls. Quite a few times, when I loose connection with the HA or recover it (when I have poor coverage, in the garage, when toggling back from Airplane Mode to normal mode …), I have one or several crashes.

Traceback (if applicable, to get the logs you may refer to: https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/troubleshooting/faqs/#android-crash-logs):

it should treat the crashes more gracefully and be transparent to the user, with no visible crash

I agree, and the PR mentioned in my previous comment + the linked PR should prevent two crashes you were experiencing and makes it possible to recover from them.

Furthermore, the “edition” of a widget is not working correctly, both for “entity states” and “service buttons” are broken when editing.

Please open a new issue for this with more details so we can look into it. Possibly a duplicate of #2604?

Unfortunately this can’t really be resolved right now except for starting fresh: https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/troubleshooting/faqs#starting-fresh-with-the-android-app. You will have to set up your widgets again. Please try this and let us know if there are still background crashes. this.

I’ve done this. And so far, so good.

However, I assume that despite “fixing the DB” from the app, it should treat the crashes more gracefully and be transparent to the user, with no visible crash.
