I try to implement startUpAtBoot to my Android application but I receive the error on startup
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start receiver com.delphiworlds.kastri.DWMultiBroadcastReceiver: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'int android.content.Intent.getFlags()' on a null object reference

Any idea where is the problem ?

Thank you

This line in the callstack:

com.delphiworlds.kastri.DWMultiBroadcastReceiver.checkStartupIntent(DWMultiBroadcastReceiver.java:178)

Indicates that it is executing this (Java) code, which is related to when the application is installed over a previous version:

    if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_MY_PACKAGE_REPLACED)) {
      if ((metaData != null) && metaData.containsKey(KEY_RESTART_AFTER_REPLACE)) {
        if (metaData.getBoolean(KEY_RESTART_AFTER_REPLACE))
          return startApp(context); // <----- This is line 178
      }
    }

Which is an odd thing to happen if the device is booting up. Can you provide a project or compiled .apk that demonstrates this issue?

Here is a apk
SIDSafeTracker.apk.zip

The manifest in your project is not right. You have 2 application entries when there should be only one.

Are you using the AndroidManifest.merge.xml file with the Build Event as per the readme?

If you are manually modifying AndroidManifest.template.xml instead, make sure you add the metadata and receiver entries to the existing <application> node, not a separate one.

[radlik01]

Yes i use merge

[radlik01]

if I use the merge on command line I have got the same result
manifestmerge AndroidManifest.merge.xml AndroidManifest.xml
AndroidManifest_after_merge.txt
AndroidManifest.txt
AndroidManifest.merge.txt

[radlik01]

I have merged the manifets manualy and it works

[DelphiWorlds]

I've pushed a fix for the merge file.. thanks!
