Java Question PendingIntent.FLAG_MUTABLE

[Johan Schoeman]

I am trying to warp a Github project (fairly recently posted) but getting this error with SLC:

error: cannot find symbol
            PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_MUTABLE);
                                                                                                  ^
  symbol:   variable FLAG_MUTABLE
  location: class PendingIntent

Browsing the web for the error indicates it requires Android 31? Is this correct?

This might be a possible solution but have not tried it yet....

android-how to solve Targeting S+ (version 31 and above) requires that one of FLAG_IMMUTABLE or FLAG_MUTABLE be specified when creating a PendingIntent problem when running android app on android 12 ?

1. Problem When our app change the target to android sdk 31 or android 12, the app crash and we get this error message:

Android 31? Is this correct?

Yes. I think it needs a new SDK for API 31.

[ SOLVED] Target SDK 31 widget crash

Hello, I am upgrading a widget-enabled app to targetSDK 31. When I install the widget, it does not load and I get an error. java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start receiver com.tempusumbra.solarwidget.solarw4x2$solarw4x2_BR: android.app.ForegroundServiceStartNotAllowedException...

SLC seems to have allowed this:

            PendingIntent pendingIntent=null;
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
                pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), 0, intent,
                        PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT | PendingIntent.FLAG_IMMUTABLE);
            }else {
                pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
            }

....in place of....

PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_MUTABLE);

But now have some further errors to deal with not related to the above.

Now I get this error:

Users are strongly recommended to migrate to the new APIs.

.....mind boggling....

 

[DonManfred]

Now I get this error

did you added android.jar from platforms\android-30 as a dependency?
Note that i do use Eclipse usuall and need to add this jar to every project in Eclipse as dependency.

Also note that i never worked with an Api >30 so i can not answer if this is of help.

I prefer to use the constant values for new constants:

B4A/Libs_NFC/src/anywheresoftware/b4a/objects/NFC.java at master · AnywhereSoftware/B4A

B4A core libraries. Contribute to AnywhereSoftware/B4A development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

Not sure about the second error. Maybe you are using the B4J SLC tool?

Erel, definately using SLC V1.11 for building Android Libs. Have just downloaded and extracted it again to make sure I am using the right one. This is the complete error - it builds the Jar successfully but fails to create the XML. Is it maybe because I am using Java 11?

. Is it maybe because I am using Java 11?

Quite likely. There is a long standing problem with BADoclet running under Java 11 and later producing bad XML. Erel is going to fix it - sometime!
