App crashes while calling LocationUpdatesService with permission with NullPointerException

I' trying to implement Google's android foreground location sample from github in my application. It works fine in the first run of the application. It requests for location permission and when the user grants permission, the service is starting flawlessly and fetches location.
But when the app runs the next time while it already has the permission, it crashes by showing a NullPointerException. I'm not able to narrow down the problem. What is different in the second run of the app which already has the permission? Getting error in OnStart() in mService.requestLocationUpdates(); line.
Does it has to do anything with the package name that is declared in the LocationUpdatesService? or is it something else with permission? or with binding?

I am not sure, but try this:
#Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this)
.registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(this);
if (!checkPermissions()) {
requestPermissions();
} else if (mService != null) { // add null checker
mService.requestLocationUpdates();
}
// Bind to the service. If the service is in foreground mode, this signals to the service
// that since this activity is in the foreground, the service can exit foreground mode.
bindService(new Intent(this, LocationUpdatesService.class), mServiceConnection,
Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
}
Also:
private final ServiceConnection mServiceConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
#Override
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder service) {
LocationUpdatesService.LocalBinder binder = (LocationUpdatesService.LocalBinder) service;
mService = binder.getService();
mService.requestLocationUpdates(); // also request it here
mBound = true;
}
#Override
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) {
mService = null;
mBound = false;
}
};

Update code to this code mService is null because you are initilaizing it after mService.requestLocationUpdates();
#Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this)
.registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener(this);
if (!checkPermissions()) {
requestPermissions();
} else {
bindService(new Intent(this, LocationUpdatesService.class), mServiceConnection,
Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
mService.requestLocationUpdates(); //CRASHING HERE
}
// Bind to the service. If the service is in foreground mode, this signals to the service
// that since this activity is in the foreground, the service can exit foreground mode.
}

bindService(Intent(this, LocationUpdatesService::class.java), mServiceConnection!!,
BIND_AUTO_CREATE)
This code does the trick but somewhere on stackoverflow the preceding code reads like so
if (!checkPermissions()) {
request_permission()
} else{
mService!!.requestLocationUpdates()
}
without the elseif that checks the nullability of the mService - this is the variable that needs to be initiated

MediaSession not getting any callbacks from MediaStyle Notification

I created a service that extends MediaBrowserServiceCompat. This service holds a reference to my player and creates a new MediaSession with a callback. Everytime the player changes state, I update the MediaSession's playback state and create a MediaStyle notification. The notification is showing when I start to play something in my player, but the buttons in the notification are not triggering the MediaSession callback, they don't do anything. I'm setting the right flags in the MediaSession, I'm setting the session as active, I'm setting the correct actions in the playback state, I'm passing the session token to the notification but still not getting any callbacks from it. I really don't know what I'm doing wrong. All this code is inside a module imported by my app.

Manifest:

</service>
<receiver android:name="android.support.v4.media.session.MediaButtonReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON"/>

It turns out that the whole problem was caused by having another BroadcastReceiver handling MEDIA_BUTTON declared in my app's Manifest. By removing that receiver everything works now.

Foreground service stops giving location updates after 10 minutes in Oreo

I was trying to create a location service which gives location updates when app is in background specially for Android O. I tried many examples available on the internet by creating a foreground service or passing pendingIntent in requestLocationUpdates. But none of them worked. My service stops giving me location update after 10 minutes. I tried to put job scheduler also but that also doesn't work. I found the github project provided by Google this, but those examples are also not working.
Here is my service from one of the above example:

Can someone tell me what will be the correct solution for the background service for Android O.

On Android 10 (API level 29) and higher, you must declare foreground service type.
Need to add android:foregroundServiceType="location" in Service.
<service android:name=".LocationUpdateService"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true"
android:foregroundServiceType="location"
/>

how to sign out from Google Account and show account chooser again using Google Drive Android Api

I have implemented a code to open the selected file from Google Drive on Google Drive Android Application through opener activity. In this application i need to place sign out option to choose different account. But this code will ask sign in only once after that i cant remove that signed-in user from my application.
Is it possible to sign out from Google account and show account chooser again using Google Drive Android Api ?

Take a look at my answer in SO 21610239, specifically the UPDATE 2014-11-04 section.

Android LocationServices.GeofencingApi example usage

Does anyone know of an example of using the LocationServices.GeofencingApi?
All the android geofencing examples I find are using the deprecated LocationClient class.
From what I can see, the LocationServices class is the one to use, but there doesn't seem to be any working examples on how to use it.
The closest I've found is this post highlighting location update requests
UPDATE: The closest answer I've found is this git example project - but it still uses the deprecated LocationClient to get triggered fences.

I just migrated my code to the new API. Here is a working example:
A working project on GitHub based on this answer: https://github.com/androidfu/GeofenceExample
This helper class registers the geofences using the API. I use a callback interface to communicate with the calling activity/fragment. You can build a callback that fits your needs.
public class GeofencingRegisterer implements GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener {
private Context mContext;
private GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
private List<Geofence> geofencesToAdd;
private PendingIntent mGeofencePendingIntent;
private GeofencingRegistererCallbacks mCallback;
public final String TAG = this.getClass().getName();
public GeofencingRegisterer(Context context){
mContext =context;
}
public void setGeofencingCallback(GeofencingRegistererCallbacks callback){
mCallback = callback;
}
public void registerGeofences(List<Geofence> geofences){
geofencesToAdd = geofences;
mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(mContext)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.build();
mGoogleApiClient.connect();
}
#Override
public void onConnected(Bundle bundle) {
if(mCallback != null){
mCallback.onApiClientConnected();
}
mGeofencePendingIntent = createRequestPendingIntent();
PendingResult<Status> result = LocationServices.GeofencingApi.addGeofences(mGoogleApiClient, geofencesToAdd, mGeofencePendingIntent);
result.setResultCallback(new ResultCallback<Status>() {
#Override
public void onResult(Status status) {
if (status.isSuccess()) {
// Successfully registered
if(mCallback != null){
mCallback.onGeofencesRegisteredSuccessful();
}
} else if (status.hasResolution()) {
// Google provides a way to fix the issue
/*
status.startResolutionForResult(
mContext, // your current activity used to receive the result
RESULT_CODE); // the result code you'll look for in your
// onActivityResult method to retry registering
*/
} else {
// No recovery. Weep softly or inform the user.
Log.e(TAG, "Registering failed: " + status.getStatusMessage());
}
}
});
}
#Override
public void onConnectionSuspended(int i) {
if(mCallback != null){
mCallback.onApiClientSuspended();
}
Log.e(TAG, "onConnectionSuspended: " + i);
}
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
if(mCallback != null){
mCallback.onApiClientConnectionFailed(connectionResult);
}
Log.e(TAG, "onConnectionFailed: " + connectionResult.getErrorCode());
}
/**
* Returns the current PendingIntent to the caller.
*
* #return The PendingIntent used to create the current set of geofences
*/
public PendingIntent getRequestPendingIntent() {
return createRequestPendingIntent();
}
/**
* Get a PendingIntent to send with the request to add Geofences. Location
* Services issues the Intent inside this PendingIntent whenever a geofence
* transition occurs for the current list of geofences.
*
* #return A PendingIntent for the IntentService that handles geofence
* transitions.
*/
private PendingIntent createRequestPendingIntent() {
if (mGeofencePendingIntent != null) {
return mGeofencePendingIntent;
} else {
Intent intent = new Intent(mContext, GeofencingReceiver.class);
return PendingIntent.getService(mContext, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
}
}
}
This class is the base class for your geofence transition receiver.
public abstract class ReceiveGeofenceTransitionIntentService extends IntentService {
/**
* Sets an identifier for this class' background thread
*/
public ReceiveGeofenceTransitionIntentService() {
super("ReceiveGeofenceTransitionIntentService");
}
#Override
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
GeofencingEvent event = GeofencingEvent.fromIntent(intent);
if(event != null){
if(event.hasError()){
onError(event.getErrorCode());
} else {
int transition = event.getGeofenceTransition();
if(transition == Geofence.GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_ENTER || transition == Geofence.GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_DWELL || transition == Geofence.GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_EXIT){
String[] geofenceIds = new String[event.getTriggeringGeofences().size()];
for (int index = 0; index < event.getTriggeringGeofences().size(); index++) {
geofenceIds[index] = event.getTriggeringGeofences().get(index).getRequestId();
}
if (transition == Geofence.GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_ENTER || transition == Geofence.GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_DWELL) {
onEnteredGeofences(geofenceIds);
} else if (transition == Geofence.GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_EXIT) {
onExitedGeofences(geofenceIds);
}
}
}
}
}
protected abstract void onEnteredGeofences(String[] geofenceIds);
protected abstract void onExitedGeofences(String[] geofenceIds);
protected abstract void onError(int errorCode);
}
This class implements the abstract class and does all the handling of geofence transitions
public class GeofencingReceiver extends ReceiveGeofenceTransitionIntentService {
#Override
protected void onEnteredGeofences(String[] geofenceIds) {
Log.d(GeofencingReceiver.class.getName(), "onEnter");
}
#Override
protected void onExitedGeofences(String[] geofenceIds) {
Log.d(GeofencingReceiver.class.getName(), "onExit");
}
#Override
protected void onError(int errorCode) {
Log.e(GeofencingReceiver.class.getName(), "Error: " + i);
}
}
And in your manifest add:
<service
android:name="**xxxxxxx**.GeofencingReceiver"
android:exported="true"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
</service>
Callback Interface
public interface GeofencingRegistererCallbacks {
public void onApiClientConnected();
public void onApiClientSuspended();
public void onApiClientConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult connectionResult);
public void onGeofencesRegisteredSuccessful();
}
