CodePush Sync Error in React Native Android

[arjunkomath]

On component mount I have given the following command:

react-native: 0.17.0
Android 6.0.1

CodePush.sync({ updateDialog: true, installMode: CodePush.InstallMode.IMMEDIATE });

It throws an error:

Unable to show dialog, main activity is not a FragmentActivity

Hey @arjunkomath! On Android, we used to require that your main Activity class inherit from FragmentActivity in order to display the update dialog. To fix this, you can do one of two things:

1. Upgrade your RN plugin to the latest release (1.6.0-beta), which removes this restriction. I would recommend this since it adds some other good features as well.
2. Make your MainActivity class inherit from FragmentActivity. Our docs explain how to do this in the Android setup section.

Let me know how it goes! Apologies for the confusion here. If you go with #2, it would be great if you could let us know how to make the docs clearer, since we tried to clarify the need to inherit from FragmentActivity if you wanted to show a dialog.

@lostintangent It worked :) I went with first method and updated to 1.6.0-beta. Thank you!

It would be great if you could mention this in the documentation for codepush.sync() https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-code-push#codepushsync

Yay! Thanks for pushing through this issue. I'll update the docs per your suggestion. Let us know if you hit any other issues!
