can not launch external service.
It seems like I accidentally came on the close button??? so this is a repost
I tried a Bunch of Stuff and for some reason I just cant launch MC via an Intent from my app but via adb shell it works just fine.
important to note is that I do not get any log info NOR an exception thrown it seems meaning I have no clue why its not working.
adb shell that works:

Bump
does the process just stop or something
i dont get a breakpoint hit when setting it at the intent receiver. so doubt it.
(adb command does activate the breakpoint)
maybe add some logging so you can see at which point the app fails
i mean the app doesnt close either
lol
thats interesting
its just silenetly not doing anything
what does that -a argument do
in adb shell
(currently rechecking that what i said is correct. from memory)
yeah i just rechecked.
even while pojav is in the front and i have debug of my app to launch manually nothing happens.
i just get null returned from context.startService(launchIntent)
i asked gpt so honetly no clue.
maybe try to throw the error for now
so you can at least see it in console
instead of that tools show error
im not sure how that works tho
but it might be the reason why you get no logging
cant be it. my application neiver recieves my apps intent
tried breakpoint
@Override
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
if (intent != null && ACTION_START_MINECRAFT.equals(intent.getAction())) {
never get a breakpoint hit from my app trying it. am shell does hit
so intent is null
if im reading it right
this gets the intent right
no the return value of
context.startService(launchIntent) is null. not the intent
can you show that method
i cant find it
im blind
l0l
in debug and method exit
basically at the return breakpoint execution
so maybe it doesnt find the intent
i mean as i said pojav launcher does not seem to receive the intent.
also the intent is not null when trying to view it.
hmmm
wheres the method that calls launch game base intent
wdym
like
you said launcher doesnt receive the intent
so can you show where the launcher calls the method
from my knowledge it should be
myapp: create the intent
myapp: context.startService(intent)
pojav: recieve intent
pojav: handle intent
it goes missing between my app and pojav seemingly. a breakpoint in the on intent in the place where i should receive it directley never gets hit from my code only if i do it manually via the adb command
maybe that pojav thing doesnt know from which method to grab the intent
im just guessing
question then tho: where should i look?
cus it does not appear in logcat
is there some config for it
the pojav
i think the problem if it works with adb is that adb launches that parameter
that changes some stuff
and while you launch it the other way it doesnt have that
config/parameter
obiously me guessing with gpt but i would assume they need a way to know what exactly you gave it. (who should it know the deiff between action and class if yk what i mean)
ok i think we need to call the java special forces here
@dan1st can you take a look
no clue what the problem is
What happens when the code is run?
what is the code
Does anything different happen without the
profile_id and launch_user?
Your code using context.startService(launchIntent);
which doesn't work if I read it correctlyuh i think i know what you mean. let me try removing them
and it would be useful to know what exactly happens
This message has been formatted automatically. You can disable this using
/preferences.nothing happens
Can you execute that code directly from an activity?
not from within a service
isnt this enough?
try it directly with the activity
(normal context is that main activity)
Android is weird and I want to exclude other possibilities
as i sued previously
I don't trust Android on these things
Some things don't work the same in certain services sometimes
nothing happens
actually i do have an idea
used directly within the activity with
startService(...) instead of context.startService(...)?i dont know the stack basically that its being ran on do i have to run it in the main thread or sth perhaps
no
yeah try using the UI thread as well
and when you say nothing happens, I assume the app just continues executing?
and removing
profile_id/launch_user didn't change anything, right? It was the same result before and after
Can you check the logs of the started service?
What should happen when starting the service?me getting a breakpoint hit
Did you set a breakpoint there?
yes. also i do have code there
so its like evcen just being breakpoint hit is all thats needed
I assume you resumed execution?
ye
Package [net.kdt.pojavlaunch.debug] reported as REPLACED, but missing application info. Assuming REMOVED.
i just found this in my log. i dont know where it came from
i tried it before previously but it never appeared
ah thats from me updating the app
i mean the bash is able to find it still tho
Is the service you are starting actually exported?
<service android:name=".api.StartMinecraftService" android:exported="true">
</service>
Where is the action declared?
and i setr a breakpoint in the if statement so any would work too
Can you check whether the
onHandleIntent is executed?2025-03-27 21:32:26.766 27077-27077 VRI[LauncherActivity] net.kdt.pojavlaunch.debug D visibilityChanged oldVisibility=true newVisibility=false

so does work
ohhhh
I think your app doesn't have the necessary permissions
