Android Question CameraEx and new SDK 34

[pliroforikos]

Hello,
I'm using a edited copy of bellow example in order to scan QRcodes with my app.
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-b4xpages-barcode-reader.120417/page-2#posts

Today as i was reading google console i saw an error about camera.

"As of Android 14, developers must specify service types when services are detected in the foreground in their app's manifest. A version of your app that is currently in production has an error because it tries to launch a service in the foreground when no service type is declared in the foreground. Make sure that the service types for the services being started in the foreground are defined in your application's manifest."

As i can see is the new politics in ver 34, and as explained here i put

AddPermission(android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_CAMERA)

in manifest.

I wonder if you guys has same problem and if everything is allright now or i need something else to do.
Thanks for any help

you need the permission + the foreground service type + google's approval when submitting to play

AddPermission(android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_CAMERA)
SetServiceAttribute(service_name, android:foregroundServiceType, "camera")

plus you should probably add:
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="true" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" android:required="true" />

plus be ready in case google complains about leaving the camera on all the time, constantly focussing and searching for qr codes

Thank you.
But I don't know the service name. I use camera lib which is a jar file and camera Ex class.
Maybe I'm missing something?

google says your app has a foreground service. how can you not know its name?

It's not telling me the name. And if it is camera (which is) i don't know the service name or at least i dont know how to find it.

The example doesn't use any foreground service. Maybe it is just a wrong warning.
