Android 14 (SDK 34 ) Foreground service is not working

[arunm1407]

Hi Team,

In Android 14 foreground service is crashing due to security exceptions

Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: Starting FGS with type mediaProjection callerApp=ProcessRecord targetSDK=34 requires permissions: all of the permissions allOf=true [android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PROJECTION] any of the permissions allOf=false [android.permission.CAPTURE_VIDEO_OUTPUT, android:project_media]

What version are you using?

Can you reproduce it in the demo app?

What device are you using?

In the demo application we do have what you are referring to: https://github.com/HBiSoft/HBRecorder/blob/e642185b2fc40f454d72dcf3bd45340801248a88/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml#L8

HBRecorder : Version 1.0

Please use the latest version:

A lot has happened since version 1.0 which was released in August 2019.

Hi HBISoft,

Do you have any updates regarding this issue?

[HBiSoft]

@arunm1406 Since I can't reproduce it on my end, for some reason, can you test by changing setOnClickListeners() and onRequestPermissionsResult() in the MainActivity of the demo application:

setOnClickListeners() :

private static final int PERMISSION_REQ_ID_FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PROJECTION = PERMISSION_REQ_ID_WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE + 1;

private void setOnClickListeners() {
    startbtn.setOnClickListener(v -> {
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
            // first check if permissions were granted
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.UPSIDE_DOWN_CAKE) { // SDK 34
                if (checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS, PERMISSION_REQ_POST_NOTIFICATIONS)
                        && checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO, PERMISSION_REQ_ID_RECORD_AUDIO)
                        && checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PROJECTION, PERMISSION_REQ_ID_FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PROJECTION)) {
                    hasPermissions = true;
                }
            } else if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.TIRAMISU) { // SDK 33
                if (checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS, PERMISSION_REQ_POST_NOTIFICATIONS)
                        && checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO, PERMISSION_REQ_ID_RECORD_AUDIO)) {
                    hasPermissions = true;
                }
            } else if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.Q) {
                if (checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO, PERMISSION_REQ_ID_RECORD_AUDIO)) {
                    hasPermissions = true;
                }
            } else {
                if (checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO, PERMISSION_REQ_ID_RECORD_AUDIO)
                        && checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, PERMISSION_REQ_ID_WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)) {
                    hasPermissions = true;
                }
            }

            if (hasPermissions) {
                // check if recording is in progress and stop it if it is
                if (hbRecorder.isBusyRecording()) {
                    hbRecorder.stopScreenRecording();
                    startbtn.setText(R.string.start_recording);
                } else {
                    // else start recording
                    startRecordingScreen();
                }
            }
        } else {
            showLongToast("This library requires API 21>");
        }
    });
}

onRequestPermissionsResult() :

    @RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
    @Override
    public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
        super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
        switch (requestCode) {
            case PERMISSION_REQ_POST_NOTIFICATIONS:
                if (grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                    checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO, PERMISSION_REQ_ID_RECORD_AUDIO);
                } else {
                    hasPermissions = false;
                    showLongToast("No permission for " + Manifest.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS);
                }
                break;
            case PERMISSION_REQ_ID_RECORD_AUDIO:
                if (grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                    checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, PERMISSION_REQ_ID_WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
                } else {
                    hasPermissions = false;
                    showLongToast("No permission for " + Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO);
                }
                break;
            case PERMISSION_REQ_ID_WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE:
                if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.Q) {
                    hasPermissions = true;
                    startRecordingScreen();
                } else {
                    if (grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

                        hasPermissions = false;
                        showLongToast("No permission for " + Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
                    }
                }
                break;
            case PERMISSION_REQ_ID_FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PROJECTION:

            default:

        }
    }

Please let me know if you have tried the above so that I can implement it into the library.

I assume this is fixed in 3.0.7
