Android : IllegalArgumentException: “Component class X does not exist” in API 17 (no crash in API 8)-Collection of common programming errors

My emulators :

When I launch the tablet emulator I get :

When I launch the froyo emulator all is fine (EDIT : no it is not – the receiver is not enabled BUT still there is no crash).
Is it a known issue or something ?

Manifest :



    
    
        
            
                
                
            
        
        
        
        
        
        
            
                
            
        
        
            
                
                
            
        
    

Relevant parts from the receiver (WIP !) :

private static void enable(Context context, boolean enable, String className) {
    PackageManager pacman = context.getPackageManager();
    final ComponentName componentName = new ComponentName(context, className);
    final int state = (enable) ? PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED
            : PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED;
    pacman.setComponentEnabledSetting(componentName, state,  // line 81
            PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);
}

public static void enable(Context baseContext, boolean enable) {
    enable(baseContext, enable,                 // line 86
            TriggerMonitoringBootReceiver.class.getSimpleName());
}

And in SettingsActivity:

@Override
public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(SharedPreferences sp, String key) {
    if (MASTER_ENABLE.equals(key)) {
        TriggerMonitoringBootReceiver.enable(getBaseContext(),        // line 192
                sp.getBoolean(key, false));
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                "CB: " + sp.getBoolean(key, false), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                .show();
    }
}

EDIT : all clear now, using ComponentName(Context pkg, Class cls)– as for the difference in the APIs :
Calls to PackageManager.setComponentEnabledSetting will now throw an IllegalArgumentException if the given component class name does not exist in the application’s manifest.

  1. TriggerMonitoringBootReceiver.class.getSimpleName();
    

    and package

    PackageManager pacman = context.getPackageManager();
    

    which together give

    di.k23b.hw3.TriggerMonitoringBootReceiver
    

    so you are missing “/receivers/” folder prefix in class name
