7 years ago Thanks for your bug report. I added support for Android 6 style permissions in my last commit: 84a1341a58d94eb462389e1005faf7a83949ec9e
Also I activated the issue tracker for this repository, so there is a better way to communicate now. If there are any further problems, please open an issue there.
Hi. I'm sorry that I'm not sure what the proper channel to contact you is, so out of desperation I'm trying this. I hope you see this! My background is in healthcare so I don't know how to code or anything, I just love Android stuff and your module looks amazing! I just made this account to try to message you :)
I wanted to bring to your attention a possible issue. I have compiled and tested your module; API 19 & 22 runs great, but in Marshmellow it crashes on start up.
I researched this more and found that
android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"
in the manifest is used to give permission for the overlay (I think...maybe).
Apparently since API 23 this permission does not work as it use to.
The error I grabbed from logcat is:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start service com.github.spezifisch.threestepsahead.JoystickService@cae6052 with Intent { cmp=com.github.spezifisch.threestepsahead/.JoystickService }: android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException: Unable to add window android.view.ViewRootImpl$W@4a8f8b4 -- permission denied for this window type ...
Caused by: android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException: Unable to add window android.view.ViewRootImpl$W@4a8f8b4 -- permission denied for this window type
Thank you again for taking the time to read this. My email is [redacted]. Not that I am expecting a response or anything but just wanted to give you it in case you wanna reply! :)
