Android Question start service in a second app with intent

[brunnlechner]

The first code was OK, since android:targetSdkVersion="26"
Error: Service Intent must be explicit...

With the others there is no reaction in the Provider APP

Requester App:

    Dim in As Intent
    in.Initialize("provider.app.REQUEST","")
    'in.SetComponent("provider.app/.S1")
    in.AddCategory("android.intent.category.DEFAULT")
    in.PutExtra("test","True")
    StartService(in)

Provider App Manifest:

AddServiceText(S1, <intent-filter>
   <action android:name="provider.app.REQUEST" />
   <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>)

Do you get any error? WHICH one?
What exactly is the question?

 

[brunnlechner]

This code was OK, since android:targetSdkVersion="26":

Dim in As Intent
    in.Initialize("provider.app.REQUEST","")
    'in.SetComponent("provider.app/.S1")
    in.AddCategory("android.intent.category.DEFAULT")
    in.PutExtra("test","True")
    StartService(in)

targetSdkVersion="26 = OK
targetSdkVersion="26: Error: Service Intent must be explicit...

All other attempts did not work

Try to add:

in.SetPackage("provider.app") 'assuming that this is the target app package name

 

[OliverA]

Are you also writing the provider app or is it third party?

Thanks Erel, you're the best - it works perfectly again.

Dim in As Intent
in.Initialize("provider.app.REQUEST","")
in.SetPackage("provider.app") 
in.AddCategory("android.intent.category.DEFAULT")
in.PutExtra("test","True")
StartService(in)
