Android Question FireBase RuntimeException

ilan · Apr 19, 2018

hi

i am getting lately some crash reports in my console on android 8 in my firebase service.
i have followed the tutorial (how serviced are working in android 8) and also the firebase tutorial but still get those crashes. the weird thing is that i am not sending any push messages to the devices so it happens i guess on app start where i initialize firebase or something like that.

any ideas why i am getting it?

1. Are you using B4A v8?

2. Are you starting the starter service yourself?

B4X:

CallSubDelayed(FirebaseMessaging, "SubscribeToTopics") 'notification test

Are you sure that the crash report is from an app compiled with B4A v8?

Have you set FirebaseMessaging service to be a sticky service? Is there any service that start at boot?

hi erel,

no, i have not set the FireBaseService to as sticky service. as i remember correctly it is not set to a sticky service in the tutorial too. should it be a sticky service?

i have 2 services running, the starter service and the firebaseservice.
i think the starter service starts on boot (i just have not my pc infront of me.)

No.

If it is then it is a mistake. The starter service should never start at boot (it should never start from a receiver).

ok then sorry, it is set to false because i have not change anything, i left it as B4A created the Project. So if B4A is creating it with FALSE then it is set to FALSE.

i just saw another crash report.

this is 100% created with b4a 8 because i see the version of the App and it is a new version.

this is how it looks like:

And you are not sending push notifications, right?

I did sent last week maybe 2 notifications but i had this crash report also before sending them.

ilan · Apr 22, 2018

I have today 2 reports and i have not send any notifications since end of last week.

Erel · Apr 22, 2018

Are you using a custom implementation of StartServiceAt, similar to this one: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...estartatexact-not-accurate.65117/#post-412286 ?

EDIT: it says app is in background, not allowed to start service ???

If you like you can send me the project and I'll try to see what causes it.

the whole project? its a big app that uses lots of lib. i dont want to waste your time

anyway thanks for your great support.

Erel · Apr 22, 2018

I see. Things that you should check:

1. What causes FirebaseMessaging to start while the process is in the background.
2. Make sure that the starter service is not started with StartServiceAt or an intent.

Erel · Apr 22, 2018

You can also add Sleep(10000) before starting FirebaseMessaging from the starter service.

Ok when i get to my pc i will look at it closer.

The only thing that should start the service is a notification or the starter service.

If the app is in background and a notification arrives the service should start right? Even if app is in background.

Does it first start the starter service or only the firebaseservice? (I mean a notification)

Yes.

The starter service will be started when the process is started.

A possible cause of this error is the usage of an old FirebaseNotifications.jar. Open the internal libraries folder and check the size of FirebaseNotifications.jar. It should be 9506 bytes.
