USB detection code for android device is crashing

Question

I have written a small code for usb detection for android device but its crashing while I connect the device cable to CPU of my computer

Here is my code

public class IntentReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        if(intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_UMS_CONNECTED))

        {

            Toast.makeText(context, "mounted", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            Log.i("ANDROID DEVICE IS","CONNECTED");
            System.out.println(" ANDROID DEVICE IS CONNECTED");
            // Intent myStarterIntent = new Intent(context, CarHome.class);
            //   myStarterIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
            //   context.startActivity(myStarterIntent);
        }

        else if(intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_UMS_DISCONNECTED)){

            Toast.makeText(context, "Unmounted", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            Log.i("ANDROID DEVICE IS","DISCONNECTED");  
            System.out.println(" ANDROID DEVICE IS NOT CONNECTED");
        }
    }

}

Manifest file is here

<receiver android:name=".IntentReceiver">
    <intent-filter>
      <action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_UMS_CONNECTED" />
      <action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_UMS_DISCONNECTED" />
      <action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED" />
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

Answer 1

You should read the docs:

ACTION_UMS_CONNECTED

This constant is deprecated . replaced by android.os.storage.StorageEventListener

Broadcast Action: The device has entered USB Mass Storage mode. This is used mainly for the USB Settings panel. Apps should listen for ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED and ACTION_MEDIA_UNMOUNTED broadcasts to be notified when the SD card file system is mounted or unmounted

Against your ClassNotFoundException :

In your manifest, you prefixed the class-name of your BoradcastReceiver with a period, which is a shortcut. It will take the package-name you specified in your <manifest> -tags package -attribute and add the given class-name to it.

So, you should make sure that your fully qualified class-path is com.kk88655.hello.IntentReceiver , because it seems that you renamed the hello -package to hello2 (as seen in the logcat: /data/app/com.kk88655.hello-2.apk ).

A similar question has already been asked here: Android Broadcast Receiver Error: Class not found exception with no accepted or up-voted answer so far.

Another idea would be to specify the fully-qualified package-name in the <receiver> -tags android:name -attribute, as suggested here: Unable to instantiate receiver in BroadcastReceiver SMS

Another explanation might be an update-issue with your older application-version as discussed here: ClassNotFoundException error reports when upgrading Android app Reading this question, it also might be an App2SD problem.
