I used this answer in order to setup my Licence Verfication Library. In order to compile my app without errors I needed to add

android 
    {
        useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'
    }

in the build.gradle of library. However, when I launch my app it crashes instantly, even if I remove abort(). Using debugger I could reach the line checker.checkAccess(licenseCheckerCallback). Maybe someone else tried it with Kotlin? How can I solve this?

Edit:

I noticed that I'm getting and error as in the step 24 of answer: Service Intent must be explicit: Intent { act=com.android.vending.licensing.ILicensingService }. However I don't know how can I solve it in Kotlin.

My stacktrace in red is:

    `it crashes instantly` perhaps it would be useful to add the stacktrace here for others to see – a_local_nobody Jan 16 '21 at 15:53
  • Ok, thanks. I got error as in step 24. Trying to solve this now. – pbendzios Jan 16 '21 at 16:02
  • I tried to paste the second code in the [first](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30059716/android-app-crashes-on-lollipop-service-intent-must-be-explicit/30063674#30063674) answer. Android Studio converts it to Kotlin but ` mContext' remains `unresolved reference`. I placed it to `onCreate()`. Do you have any ideas how should I do that? – pbendzios Jan 16 '21 at 16:15
  • probably `this` – a_local_nobody Jan 16 '21 at 16:24
  • Ok, now I understand. Found that LicenseChecker:) – pbendzios Jan 16 '21 at 16:47
