Error while starting activity from service in android
Question
I have a receiver which listens to incoming calls. From this receiver i am starting a service which will send emails (using android Intent) but i am getting an exception (plz refer logs from Log Cat).
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start service com.pack.android.service.EmailService@40519818 with Intent { cmp=com.pack.android.email.service/com.pack.android.service.EmailService }: android.util.AndroidRuntimeException: Calling startActivity() from outside of an Activity context requires the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag. Is this really what you want?
I have set 'FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK' and 'FLAG_FROM_BACKGROUND'. This isn't a user activity. I am trying to start an existing activity (send email) using intent INTENT.SENDTO/SEND.
Strange thing was the error : Caused by: android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.SENDTO flg=0x10000004 (has extras) }
What am i missing here ?
Another problem i faced while sending email using Java Mail API was the mail was being sent properly that's what it looks like but somehow the mail never seems to appear in the mailbox. I am referring the below link to send emails without intents : Send email without intent
It would be gr8 if someone could give some insights into this.
Code is as follows: Call Receiver :-
public class CallReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
private static final String LOG_TAG = "CallReceiver";
private static final String ACTION = "android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE";
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
System.out.println("--------Inside onReceive of CallReceiver--------");
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Inside onReceive");
if(intent.getAction().equals(ACTION)){
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "-----Criteria matched-----");
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(context, EmailService.class);
emailIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
emailIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_FROM_BACKGROUND);
context.startService(emailIntent);
}
}
}
Email Service :-
public class EmailService extends Service {
private static final String LOG_TAG = "EmailService";
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
@Override
public void onCreate()
{

The reason that you get
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent {
act=android.intent.action.SENDTO flg=0x10000004 (has extras) }
is because you never set the data in the Intent. Android tries to find an activity that can deal with the action "SENDTO" and the data that you provide. But you didn't provide any data so it can't find a suitable activity. You have this code:
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO);
emailIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
emailIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_FROM_BACKGROUND);
// emailIntent.setType("plain/text");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,
new String[] { "24adithya@gmail.com" });
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT,
"Email from Intent");
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT,
"Hi, This is 5554 from intent");
// getApplicationContext().startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent, "Send mail..."));
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "context = " + getApplicationContext());
startActivity(emailIntent);
but you need to call emailIntent.setdataAndType() or emailIntent.setData()1 and emailIntent.setType()`.

Look at this line in Log :
android.util.AndroidRuntimeException: Calling startActivity() from outside of an Activity context requires the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag. Is this really what you want?
which clearly saying you requires FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK to start Activity from Service. so add
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_FROM_BACKGROUND);
for starting activity from service

Use FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
Intent myIntent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), myActivity.class);
myIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK|Intent.FLAG_FROM_BACKGROUND);
getApplication().startActivity(myIntent);
