java.lang.runtimeexception unable to instantiate receiver

Question

I'm developing an appliacation that scans the beacon. when application scans the beacon, application will change the UI Text that received the BR(BroadcastReceiver) message.

After app starts, If Button is clicked, service is started. and If beacon is scanned, activity class received BR message from service class and Ui Text is changed. but a one or two second later app is closed with error log.

CODE : MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
Button start;
TextView text;
private final String SERVER_ADDRESS = "";

BeaconReceiver receiver;
@Override

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    start = (Button) findViewById(R.id.start);
    text = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text);
    receiver = new BeaconReceiver();
    IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter("com.example.beaconTEST.TEST");
    registerReceiver(receiver, filter);
    StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitAll().build();
    StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);
    phpconnect();
    start.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, BeaconService.class);

Answer 1

Based on your code and error, you do not appear to have a com.example.beaconTest.BeaconReceiver class. The BeaconReceiver that you declare in your Java code is a private inner class of MainActivity , and therefore Android cannot create an instance of it. You would need to use registerReceiver() , instead of the manifest, to register your BeaconReceiver .

Answer 2

• i donot see where the receiver is initialized. the code is commented out //receiver = new BeaconReceiver();
• you register the receiver in onCreate but you donot unregister it in on destroy. if your activity closes, its receiver still may receive data and tries to update the gui, that is not valid anymore. This will crash your app.
• since you are (un-)registering your receiver yourself, remove it from the manifest.

Answer 3

在你的Android Manifest文件中，你已经在com.example.beaconTest包中声明了com.example.beaconTest.BeaconReceiver，但BeaconReceiver的实际位置是com.example.beaconTest.MainActivity $ BeaconReceiver，因为BeaconReceiver是一个内部类。你得到这个错误。
