Android Question Notification actions issue on targetSdkVersion 31

[malaz]

Hi All

Hope you are doing well
I just need your kind support about the following recent issue start appearing when switiching to 31 sdk, so the app crachs when the user hit any notification Action button (NB6):

java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: android.intent.action.CLOSE_SYSTEM_DIALOGS broadcast from com.test.cep (pid=13102, uid=10157) requires android.permission.BROADCAST_CLOSE_SYSTEM_DIALOGS.

I read some article about that and all said that ACTION_CLOSE_SYSTEM_DIALOGS intent action is deprecated. is there any solution for still using this feature in my app?
B4A Version: 12.20
targetSdkVersion: 31

And many thanks in advance.

Are you using the code module or the library file?

Thanks Walter for your feedback, I really used the library v1.04 to deal with notifications and all things were perfect til switching to sdk 31, just the actions button issue appeared.

Hi brothers

The problem solved partially by checking sdk version when trying to close the notification drawer as following since on Android 12 and higher there is no need to close the dialog by yourself:

    Dim p As Phone
    If p.SdkVersion <= 30 Then ' Android 11 and lower
        Dim intent As Intent
        intent.Initialize("android.intent.action.CLOSE_SYSTEM_DIALOGS", "") 'close the notifications drawer
        p.SendBroadcastIntent(intent)  
    End If

Thanks to all
