Android Question Firestore component is not present

[gregorio_adrian_gimenez]

Hi, when executing the code fs.Initialize("Firestore",True), it generates the following unexpected error. I do not realize why it happens.
Version B4A 9.30.


main_setstate (B4A line: 225)
fs.Initialize("Firestore",True)
java.lang.NullPointerException: Firestore component is not present.

Try other previous codes and it works well, in this case the difference is that add FireBase Storage, this can be a cause?

 

[DonManfred]

Post you manifest code.
I guess you need to add a registrar for storage

Add the following meta data to the ComponentDiscoveryService (manifest)

          <meta-data
                android:name="com.google.firebase.components:com.google.firebase.storage.StorageRegistrar"
                android:value="com.google.firebase.components.ComponentRegistrar" />

 

[DonManfred]

the difference is that add FireBase Storage

But the error happen when initializing Firestore; not Storage.
But i aggree that adding the storage could be the issue. Not a problem but a issue.
It just needs an additional entry to the manifest... See post above.

HI !

does it work with this manifest???

 

[DonManfred]

AddApplicationText(
<service android:name="com.google.firebase.components.ComponentDiscoveryService" >
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.firebase.components:com.google.firebase.analytics.connector.internal.AnalyticsConnectorRegistrar"
android:value="com.google.firebase.components.ComponentRegistrar" />
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.firebase.components:com.google.firebase.iid.Registrar"
android:value="com.google.firebase.components.ComponentRegistrar" />
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.firebase.components:com.google.firebase.auth.FirebaseAuthRegistrar"
android:value="com.google.firebase.components.ComponentRegistrar" />
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.firebase.components:com.google.firebase.storage.StorageRegistrar"
android:value="com.google.firebase.components.ComponentRegistrar" />
</service>
)

if you add a new ComponentDiscoveryService then you need to add it with all needed components.
Add the registrar for firestore

 

[DonManfred]

replace

AddApplicationText(
 <service android:name="com.google.firebase.components.ComponentDiscoveryService" >
            <meta-data
                android:name="com.google.firebase.components:com.google.firebase.analytics.connector.internal.AnalyticsConnectorRegistrar"
                android:value="com.google.firebase.components.ComponentRegistrar" />
            <meta-data
                android:name="com.google.firebase.components:com.google.firebase.iid.Registrar"
                android:value="com.google.firebase.components.ComponentRegistrar" />
             <meta-data
                android:name="com.google.firebase.components:com.google.firebase.auth.FirebaseAuthRegistrar"
                android:value="com.google.firebase.components.ComponentRegistrar" />
            <meta-data
                android:name="com.google.firebase.components:com.google.firebase.storage.StorageRegistrar"
                android:value="com.google.firebase.components.ComponentRegistrar" />
        </service>
)

with

AddApplicationText(
 <service android:name="com.google.firebase.components.ComponentDiscoveryService" >
            <meta-data
                android:name="com.google.firebase.components:com.google.firebase.analytics.connector.internal.AnalyticsConnectorRegistrar"
                android:value="com.google.firebase.components.ComponentRegistrar" />
            <meta-data
                android:name="com.google.firebase.components:com.google.firebase.iid.Registrar"
                android:value="com.google.firebase.components.ComponentRegistrar" />
             <meta-data
                android:name="com.google.firebase.components:com.google.firebase.auth.FirebaseAuthRegistrar"
                android:value="com.google.firebase.components.ComponentRegistrar" />
            <meta-data
                android:name="com.google.firebase.components:com.google.firebase.storage.StorageRegistrar"
                android:value="com.google.firebase.components.ComponentRegistrar" />

            <meta-data android:name="com.google.firebase.components:com.google.firebase.firestore.FirestoreRegistrar"
            android:value="com.google.firebase.components.ComponentRegistrar"/>

        </service>
)

And make sure it is placed at the end of the manifest. No other ComponentDiscoveryService follows...
