App crash on headset button click


I have build an audioplayer which is deployed in android google playstore. I'm using crashlytics to monitor crashes and ANRs. Recently I have been getting a lot of crashes MediaButtonReceiver. The headset clicks work fine in many devices. But some devices are giving this problem.

Crashlytics report -

                                resumeMedia();
                            }


                        }
                    }

                    return true;

                }

            return true;
            }
        });



    }

What could be the problem and how to solve this?

My thoughts - Maybe this happens because user opens other music apps that has this feature while my app is still playing.


Solution

  • You have to create your own media button receiver class, say MyMediaButtonReceiver.java, that extends MediaButtonReceiver, and it will be empty except for the onReceive method that you have to override, calling super.onReceive(...) between a try-catch that captures the IllegalStateException:

    public class MyMediaButtonReceiver extends MediaButtonReceiver {
    
        @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
            try {
                super.onReceive(context, intent);
            } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
                Log.d(this.getClass().getName(), e.getMessage());
            }
        }
    }
    

    Then you have to declare that receiver class in your Manifest (or replace your previous MediaButtonReceiver class declaration, if you had one), like:

    <receiver android:name=".MyMediaButtonReceiver" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>
