Crash on Android 5.01 / Samsung S4

[binwiederhier]

Received this via email (Translated from German):

On the Samsung S4, which supposedly still meets the requirements with Android 5.01, trying to delete any received message produces a program crash: "App stopped". I took the opportunity to send a message. Reinstalling the app didn't help either. Since I am not familiar with Gitub, I am writing to you directly and attaching four hard copies. The information may help to fix the error with one of the next updates.

I checked in the Google Play Console, and I didn't see any stack traces for Android 5. Without a stack trace, I cannot help, sadly. Was ntfy installed via Google Play, or F-Droid, or manual .apk file? Install the Google Play version if you can.

If that doesn't work, you can attach adb to your phone (Google how that works) and use adb logcat to get stack traces.

Hope this helps.

I managed to capture the stack trace using an emulated device.

I was calling a function that doesn't exist on SDK 21. Not sure why the IDE lets me do that. I'll fix it.
