I migrate my app to oreo (as it's requiered by google play now), and i have now an error when i start my phone :
Not allowed to start service Intent
My app is listening in background any location update and send periodically those grabbed locations to a server. for this i do :
in AndroidManifest.xml
<receiver android:name="com.myapp.StartServiceBroadcastReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
in the StartServiceBroadcastReceiver i do :
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
try {
/* start the location service */
Intent startServiceIntent = new Intent(context, LocationService.class);
context.startService(startServiceIntent);
} catch (Throwable e){ Log.e(TAG, "Exception", e); }
}
and the LocationService basiqually do :
public void onCreate() {
mLocationServices.setListener(this);
mLocationServices.startLocationUpdates(true, // startWithLastKnownLocation,
150000, // interval => 2.5 min // Set the desired interval for active location updates, in milliseconds.
// The location client will actively try to obtain location updates for your
// application at this interval, so it has a direct influence on the amount
// of power used by your application. Choose your interval wisely.
30000, // fastestInterval => 30 s // Explicitly set the fastest interval for location updates, in milliseconds.
// This controls the fastest rate at which your application will receive location updates, which might be faster than setInterval(long)
// in some situations (for example, if other applications are triggering location updates).
// This allows your application to passively acquire locations at a rate faster than it actively acquires locations, saving power.
900000, // maxWaitTime => 15 min // Sets the maximum wait time in milliseconds for location updates.
// If you pass a value at least 2x larger than the interval specified with setInterval(long), then location
// delivery may be delayed and multiple locations can be delivered at once. Locations are determined at
// the setInterval(long) rate, but can be delivered in batch after the interval you set in this method.
// This can consume less battery and give more accurate locations, depending on the device's hardware
// capabilities. You should set this value to be as large as possible for your needs if you don't
// need immediate location delivery.
LocationRequest.PRIORITY_BALANCED_POWER_ACCURACY, // priority => Block level accuracy is considered to be about 100 meter accuracy.
// Using a coarse accuracy such as this often consumes less power.
25); // smallestDisplacement => 25 meters // Set the minimum displacement between location updates in meters
}
@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
....
}
Everything was working well on pre-oreo but now it's failed on oreo+. What i can do to make my service running ?
