Revert "[One .NET] $(AndroidEnablePreloadAssemblies)=False by default" (
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
dotnet#5811)

Context: dotnet#5838

This reverts commit d13d0f9.

Commit d13d0f9 inadvertently broke the
[`DebuggingTest.ClassLibraryMainLauncherRuns()` unit test][0], when
using a test app which:

 1. Uses .NET 6, which -- because of d13d0f9 -- sets
    `$(AndroidEnablePreloadAssemblies)`=False by default -- with-

 2. A "Debug" build (Fast Deployment enabled), with-

 3. `$(AndroidLinkResources)`=False (the default; see also 9e6ce03),
    and-

 4. launching the app, which

 5. Loads an `Activity` subclass located in an assembly which is
    *not* the "main" App assembly

then the app crashes during process startup:

	android.runtime.JavaProxyThrowable: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
	    at MyLibrary.MainActivity.OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
	    at Android.App.Activity.n_OnCreate_Landroid_os_Bundle_(IntPtr jnienv, IntPtr native__this, IntPtr native_savedInstanceState)
	    at com.xamarin.classlibrarymainlauncherruns.MainActivity.n_onCreate(Native Method)
	    at com.xamarin.classlibrarymainlauncherruns.MainActivity.onCreate(MainActivity.java:29)

The cause of the crash is that, because not all assemblies are loaded
as part of process startup -- the whole *point* to d13d0f9 and
defaulting `$(AndroidEnablePreloadAssemblies)`=False -- then
[`ResourceIdManager.UpdateIdValues()`][1] isn't able to update all
fields in all `Resource` types to have the values from the app's
`Resource.designer.cs` file.  Consequently, the values *may* be
invalid, and thus the `NullReferenceException`.

As an "immediate" fix is not quickly forthcoming -- though enabling
`$(AndroidLinkResources)`=False *by default* is an "interesting"
solution, with unknown inner dev loop performance implications --
we're reverting commit d13d0f9.

Issue dotnet#5838 will track the re-enabling of
`$(AndroidEnablePreloadAssemblies)`=False by default in .NET 6 apps.

~~~

Additionally, update `DebuggingTest.ClassLibraryMainLauncherRuns()`
so that `Resources\layout\foo.xml` contains *valid* layout XML.
It was originally:

	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
	<LinearLayout
	  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
	/>

which would crash with:

	Java.Lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.xamarin.classlibrarymainlauncherruns/com.xamarin.classlibrarymainlauncherruns.MainActivity}:
	  android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #1 in com.xamarin.classlibrarymainlauncherruns:layout/foo: Binary XML file line #1: You must supply a layout_width attribute.
	---> Android.Views.InflateException: Binary XML file line #1 in com.xamarin.classlibrarymainlauncherruns:layout/foo: Binary XML file line #1: You must supply a layout_width attribute.
	---> Java.Lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Binary XML file line #1: You must supply a layout_width attribute.
	--- End of managed Java.Lang.UnsupportedOperationException stack trace ---
	java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Binary XML file line #1: You must supply a layout_width attribute.

because the layout XML was, in fact, invalid, as it wasn't providing
the required `android:layout_width` attribute.

Update `foo.xml` so that it has valid layout XML:

	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
	<LinearLayout
	  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
	  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
	  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
	/>"

This way we won't be chasing invalid XML going forward.

The above `UnsupportedOperationException` *hid* the
`NullReferenceException` in d13d0f9; the `NullReferenceException`
wasn't visible until after the invalid XML was fixed.
