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.
-
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
