Android Question android:exported once again

EduardoElias · Nov 17, 2022

In this particular app besides adding android:exported = true I keed receiving the message about it (developer.android.com/about/versions/12/behavior-changes-12#exported)

What am I missing?

B4X:

Can you post the full (error?) message?

"You uploaded an APK or Android App Bundle which has an activity, activity alias, service or broadcast receiver with intent filter, but without 'android:exported' property set. This file can't be installed on Android 12 or higher. See: developer.android.com/about/versions/12/behavior-changes-12#exported"

Check the generated AndroidManifest.xml file. Look for intent-filter nodes.

I see several mistakes from a quick look:

1. You shouldn't add your own activities with AddApplicationText. You should instead use AddActivityText to add a node inside the activity.
2. The android:exported attribute is an activity/service/receiver attribute. Don't add it to the action node. Do add it to the activity.

First step is to remove all the wrong android:exported attributes that you add to anything other than: activity, service or receiver.

AdminReceiver2 is missing android:exported declaration.

Android Question android:exported once again
