Application crashes java.lang.NullPointerException

[mirko77]

Dear All,

we are getting a lot of crash reports in the Play Console, stack trace:

java.lang.RuntimeException: at android.app.ActivityThread.handleServiceArgs (ActivityThread.java:4319) at android.app.ActivityThread.access$2700 (ActivityThread.java:273) at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage (ActivityThread.java:2070) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage (Handler.java:112) at android.os.Looper.loop (Looper.java:216) at android.app.ActivityThread.main (ActivityThread.java:7625) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke (Native Method) at com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run (RuntimeInit.java:524) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main (ZygoteInit.java:987) Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: at com.davidbriglio.foreground.ForegroundService.onStartCommand (ForegroundService.java:16) at android.app.ActivityThread.handleServiceArgs (ActivityThread.java:4298)

It looks like it happening mostly on Huawei devices

Any suggestion?

Same problem, in my app always with Android 12 (around 150 times the last days). Only line numbers are slightly different

wait, also have the message for Android 9-11 (over 300 times), but google did another entry for that. also has slightly different rownumbers and access$2100 instead of your access$2700. Got significantly more from 01.05.2022 on

@LillyWebsites you could try this fork and report back https://bitbucket.org/epicollect/cordova-foreground-plugin/src/master/

[LillyWebsites]

I dont know how. Your fork still says: cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-foreground-service but thats the original. cordova plugin add cordova-foreground-plugin or cordova plugin add https://bitbucket.org/epicollect/cordova-foreground-plugin did not work last week

Failed to fetch plugin https://bitbucket.org/epicollect/cordova-foreground-plugin via registry. Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect. Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.

@LillyWebsites try with npm install --save https://bitbucket.org/epicollect/cordova-foreground-plugin

@LillyWebsites try with npm install --save https://bitbucket.org/epicollect/cordova-foreground-plugin

Is this way of installing perhaps not compatible with phonegap?

any updates on this problem?

Hi, i had the same problem and then i just added all params: icon, priority (1-3) and random id. Like this: cordova.plugins.foregroundService.start('App name', 'Message', 'icon', 3, 10);

And now there is no null Exceeption error. ;)

@Creiger

Always used this call

 cordova.plugins.foregroundService.start(
                        PARAMETERS.APP_NAME,
                        labels.loading,
                        'ec5_notification',
                        1,
                        10
                    );

and always crashes are reported on the Play Console
