Intent is null in GCMBaseIntentService.onHandleIntent #20

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
I rarely saw this error in my app.
java.lang.NullPointerException
    at com.google.android.gcm.GCMBaseIntentService.onHandleIntent(GCMBaseIntentService.java:194)
    at android.app.IntentService$ServiceHandler.handleMessage(IntentService.java:65)
    at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:99)
    at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:137)
    at android.os.HandlerThread.run(HandlerThread.java:60)

It seems Intent is null in onHandleIntent.
I heard intent could be null with START_STICKY but IntentService doesn't use 
this.
How could this happen? Any idea?

Git this bug too.

It seems (from source code) that action is null: 
https://code.google.com/p/gcm/source/browse/gcm-client/src/com/google/android/gc
m/GCMBaseIntentService.java?r=3f8285f108caecf9ee040cdadda3a024b81f7e3e#194

This bug seems to happen on Android 4.x.x versions

Here's some datas: http://ge.tt/3CNt5Fl?c

You might get this if you extends the GCMBaseIntentService and call 
super.onStartCommand(Intent, int int).

I also see these exceptions.  GCMBaseIntentService is crashing.  Can you please 
add some protection to prevent this? Below is a sample.  There is no call to 
super.onStartCommand() in the app's subclass.

Comment on #1
Exception is thrown on line 194:

    String action = intent.getAction();

This clearly indicate that intent itself is null and not an action.

I see this issue as well. Any resolutions ?

As a workaround you can add onStart method to your service:

  @Override
  public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
    if (intent != null) {
      super.onStart(intent, startId);
    }
  }
