Android Question b4xpages intent camera, foreground service with sdk 34

[John Leeson]

Good morning,

in the b4xpages intent based camera, a foreground service is called in b4a, but I don't think this now works when the target version is 34

intent based camera

I'm not sure how to call this service now?

Thank you

Read this

targetSdkVersion 34 foreground service for mediaPlayback

by following @Erel Update on this Post https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/background-location-tracking.99873/#post-993226 targeting Sdkversion = 34, if you have a foregroundservice that do media play back in the background you will need to add this to your manifest in order to migrate...

Specially

[camera=64, connectedDevice=16, dataSync=1, location=8, mediaPlayback=2, mediaProjection=32, microphone=128, phoneCall=4]

Thank you, simply adding these lines to the manifest does the trick.

SetServiceAttribute(KeepRunningService, android:foregroundServiceType, "mediaPlayback")
AddPermission(android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK)

None of the foreground service types seem appropriate for what the keeprunning service is doing, so I have just left it as mediaPlayback. I don't know if that will cause an issue when I upload to the store, but hopefully not

The most suitable type is shortService: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/14/changes/fgs-types-required#short-service
This is also the case with the useful MediaChooser library.

It requires an update to B4A. I will release it later this week.
