Failing on Android 4.1 and 4.2

[safinahmed]

I have successfully implemented you plugin on Android 2.7 using PhoneGap 2.7.0, but when testing in version 4.1 and 4.2 I get the following error

W/dalvikvm(1074): threadid=17: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x40a71930)

Do you have any idea how I might fix this ?

I was able to pinpoint it to this call in the JS side app.service.enableTimer
But on the Java side, I have logging statement everywhere, and it doesn't show anything

Thanks in advance

data.ServiceRunning was returning false the first time around for some reason, but now it's ok

@safinahmed
I think I'm facing the same problem as you. Could you tell me how you solved it?

Thx :)

Hey greips, I would, but all that happened was that I ran it once in debug mode (so I could pinpoint the error) and it started working from that point on
The first time around data.ServiceRunning was returning false as I mentioned (not sure why)
After that I tried debugging again and data.ServiceRunning was already returning true and everything started going smoothly

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful and good luck

Maybe the service started bit to early in your scripts? (before Phonegap
was fully loaded?). Not sure, just guessing here :).

@safinahmed ok... i thought you just hack into the code.

@teusinkorg nice to see you here as well :P I put my code as a response in your opened issue for 2.8, and there you can see this sequence:
08-19 18:50:14.679: D/BackgroundServicePluginLogic(27704): Check if the service is running?
08-19 18:50:14.684: D/BackgroundServicePluginLogic(27704): Service is running?
08-19 18:50:14.699: D/BackgroundServicePluginLogic(27704): Exception - null
08-19 18:50:14.719: W/dalvikvm(27704): threadid=23: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x4123a930)

so I guess the problem is related to the answer to the question "Service is running?" It might return null or something unexpected and then it crashes...

@greips Hi :)

It fails on this command:
service.isServiceRunning()

This is the function:
private boolean isServiceRunning()
{
boolean result = false;

// Return Plugin with ServiceRunning true/ false
ActivityManager manager = (ActivityManager)this.mContext.getSystemService(
Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
for (RunningServiceInfo service : manager.getRunningServices(Integer.
MAX_VALUE)) {
if (this.mServiceName.equals(service.service.getClassName())) {
result = true;
}
}
return result;
}

It is strange that the function would return null. As it boolean is
initialized with false. So I guess that it has to do something with either
ActivityManager or RunningServiceInfo (that is returning null), so it fails
within the function. As I do not suffer from this error I cannot test it
out.

Perhaps the developer knows.

@teusinkorg Actually i think it fails at line 151:

Log.d(TAG, "Service is running?");

EDITED:

Actually, looking at the code it might fail at the startService() when the bind is failed... That's the only difference I can see.

It's the same issue as #7

I'm putting comments on that issue at it's got the logcat
