I’m new to android. I built an application in which there is a Button
which starts an Activity
and there are two more Buttons
in that Activity
which will open two seperate activities. One of that Activity
contains Google map named as nearby search. When I start the nearby search the app is crashing while this Activity
was running perfectly before integrating the map.
Here is the log cat

Edit
This error happens to most of the beginners, the thing is that you have to add all your activities in the Manifest file.

It is a problem of your Intent.
Please add your Activity
in your AndroidManifest.xml
.
When you want to make a new activity, you should register it in your AndroidManifest.xml
.

You may be trying to find the view before onCreate()
which is incorrect.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
ImageView mainImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageViewMain); //incorrect
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}

There is another way to get an java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo exception and that is the activity that you are trying to start is abstract. I made this stupid mistake once and its very easy to overlook.

In my case I forgot to add the google maps library
<application>
....
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />
</application>
Also, check that you’re not missing the preceding dot before the activity path
<activity android:name=".activities.MainActivity"/>

This might not be relevant to the actual question, but in my instance, I tried to implement Kotlin and left out apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
. The error happened because it could not recognize the MainActivity in as a .kt file.
Hope it helps someone.

I encountered this problem too, but in a slightly different way. Here was my scenario:
App detail:
- Using ActionBarSherlock as a library
- Using android-support-v4-r7-googlemaps.jar in the ActionBarSherlock library so I could use a «map fragment» in my primary project
- Added the jar to the build path of my primary project
- Included the
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />
in the manifests of both the library project and my primary project (this may not be necessary in the library?) - The manifest in the primary project had the proper activity definition and all of the appropriate properties
- I didn’t have an abstract activity or any of the other gotchas I’ve seen on Stack Overflow pertaining to this problem.
However, I still encountered the error described in the original post and could not get it to go away. The problem though, was slightly different in one regard:
- It only affected a fresh install of the application to my device. Any time the app installed for the first time, I would get the error preceded by several «warnings» of: Unable to resolve superclass of FragmentActivity
- Those warnings traced back to the ActionBarSherlock library
- The app would force close and crash.
- If I immediately rebuilt and redeployed the app, it worked fine.
- The only time it crashed was on a totally fresh install. If I uninstalled the app, built and deployed again from Eclipse, it would crash. Build/deploy a second time, it would work fine.
How I fixed it:
- In the ActionBarSherlock library project, I added the android-support-v4-r7-googlemaps.jar to the build path
-
This step alone did not fix the problem
-
Once the jar was added to the build path, I had change the order on the Java Build Path > Order and Export tab — I set the JAR to the first item in the list (it was the last after the /src and /gen items).
-
I then rebuilt and redeployed the app to my device — it worked as expected on a fresh install. Just to be certain, I uninstalled it again 2-3 times and reinstalled — still worked as expected.
This may be a total rookie mistake, but I spent quite a while digging through posts and my code to figure it out, so hopefully it can be helpful to someone else. May not fix all situations, but in this particular case, that ended up being the solution to my problem.

This error can also be the ultimate sign of a dumb mistake (like when I — I mean, cough, like when a friend of mine who showed me their code once) where they try to execute code outside of a method like trying to do this:
SQLiteDatabase db = openOrCreateDatabase("DB", MODE_PRIVATE, null); //trying to perform function where you can only set up objects, primitives, etc
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
....
}
rather than this:
SQLiteDatabase db;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
db = openOrCreateDatabase("DB", MODE_PRIVATE, null);
....
}

For me, my package string in AndroidManifest.xml
was incorrect (copied from a tutorial).
Make sure the package string in this file is the same as where your main activity is, e.g.
package="com.example.app"
An easy way to do this is to open the AndroidManifest.xml file in the «Manifest» tab, and type it in the text box next to Package, or use the Browse button.
Also, the package string for my activity was wrong, e.g.
<activity android:name="com.example.app.MainActivity" android:label="@string/app_name">
I (stupidly) got the same error weeks later when I renamed my package name. If you do this, make sure you update the AndroidManifest.xml
file too.

For me it was different from any of the above,
The activity was declared as abstract, That is why giving the error.
Once it removed it worked.
Earlier
public abstract class SampleActivity extends AppcompatActivity{
}
After removal
public class SampleActivity extends AppcompatActivity{
}

In my case, I was trying to initialize the components(UI) even before the onCreate
is called for the Activity.
Make sure your UI components are initialized/linked in the onCreate
method after setContentView
NB: This is my first mistake while learning Android programming.

Whow are there lots of ways to get this error!.
I will add another given none of the others either applied or were the cause.
I forgot the ‘public‘ in the declaration of my activity class! It was package private.
I had been writing so much Bluetooth code that habit caused me to create an activity class that was package private.
Says something about the obscurity of this error message.

I had the same problem, but I had my activity declared in the Manifest file, with the correct name.
My problem was that I didn’t have to imported a third party libraries in a «libs» folder, and I needed reference them in my proyect (Right-click, properties, Java Build Path, Libraries, Add Jar…).
answered Jun 11, 2013 at 16:49
This can happen if your activity class is inside a default package. I fixed it by moving the activity class to a new package. and changing the manifest.xml
before
activity android:name=".MainActivity"
after
activity android:name="new_package.MainActivity"

This error also occurs when you use of ActionBarActivity
but assigned a non AppCompat
style.
To fix this just set your apps style parent to an Theme.AppCompat
one like this.:
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
</style>

answered Mar 9, 2014 at 10:51
I had the same issue (Unable to instantiate Activity) :
FIRST reason :
I was accessing
Camera mCamera;
Camera.Parameters params = mCamera.getParameters();
before
mCamera = Camera.open();
So right way of doing is, open the camera first and then access parameters.
SECOND reason : Declare your activity in the manifest file
<activity android:name=".activities.MainActivity"/>
THIRD reason :
Declare Camera permission in your manifest file.
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.Camera"></uses-feature>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
Hope this helps

In my case, I was trying to embed the Facebook SDK and I was having the wrong Application ID; thus the error was popping up. In your manifest file, you should have the proper meta data:

If you have Android Studio 2.3.3 and Android Studio 3.0.0 installed, then switching between the two programs for development will cause this error. This is because there exist situations where classes supported in one program is not supported by the other and vice versa. It is important to maintain consistency in which version of Android Studio is being used to develop a project.

Edit
This error happens to most of the beginners, the thing is that you have to add all your activities in the Manifest file.

It is a problem of your Intent.
Please add your Activity
in your AndroidManifest.xml
.
When you want to make a new activity, you should register it in your AndroidManifest.xml
.

You may be trying to find the view before onCreate()
which is incorrect.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
ImageView mainImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageViewMain); //incorrect
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}

There is another way to get an java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo exception and that is the activity that you are trying to start is abstract. I made this stupid mistake once and its very easy to overlook.

I encountered this problem too, but in a slightly different way. Here was my scenario:
App detail:
- Using ActionBarSherlock as a library
- Using android-support-v4-r7-googlemaps.jar in the ActionBarSherlock library so I could use a «map fragment» in my primary project
- Added the jar to the build path of my primary project
- Included the
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />
in the manifests of both the library project and my primary project (this may not be necessary in the library?) - The manifest in the primary project had the proper activity definition and all of the appropriate properties
- I didn’t have an abstract activity or any of the other gotchas I’ve seen on Stack Overflow pertaining to this problem.
However, I still encountered the error described in the original post and could not get it to go away. The problem though, was slightly different in one regard:
- It only affected a fresh install of the application to my device. Any time the app installed for the first time, I would get the error preceded by several «warnings» of: Unable to resolve superclass of FragmentActivity
- Those warnings traced back to the ActionBarSherlock library
- The app would force close and crash.
- If I immediately rebuilt and redeployed the app, it worked fine.
- The only time it crashed was on a totally fresh install. If I uninstalled the app, built and deployed again from Eclipse, it would crash. Build/deploy a second time, it would work fine.
How I fixed it:
- In the ActionBarSherlock library project, I added the android-support-v4-r7-googlemaps.jar to the build path
-
This step alone did not fix the problem
-
Once the jar was added to the build path, I had change the order on the Java Build Path > Order and Export tab — I set the JAR to the first item in the list (it was the last after the /src and /gen items).
-
I then rebuilt and redeployed the app to my device — it worked as expected on a fresh install. Just to be certain, I uninstalled it again 2-3 times and reinstalled — still worked as expected.
This may be a total rookie mistake, but I spent quite a while digging through posts and my code to figure it out, so hopefully it can be helpful to someone else. May not fix all situations, but in this particular case, that ended up being the solution to my problem.

This error can also be the ultimate sign of a dumb mistake (like when I — I mean, cough, like when a friend of mine who showed me their code once) where they try to execute code outside of a method like trying to do this:
SQLiteDatabase db = openOrCreateDatabase("DB", MODE_PRIVATE, null); //trying to perform function where you can only set up objects, primitives, etc
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
....
}
rather than this:
SQLiteDatabase db;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
db = openOrCreateDatabase("DB", MODE_PRIVATE, null);

For me, my package string in AndroidManifest.xml
was incorrect (copied from a tutorial).
Make sure the package string in this file is the same as where your main activity is, e.g.
package="com.example.app"
An easy way to do this is to open the AndroidManifest.xml file in the «Manifest» tab, and type it in the text box next to Package, or use the Browse button.
Also, the package string for my activity was wrong, e.g.
<activity android:name="com.example.app.MainActivity" android:label="@string/app_name">
I (stupidly) got the same error weeks later when I renamed my package name. If you do this, make sure you update the AndroidManifest.xml
file too.

For me it was different from any of the above,
The activity was declared as abstract, That is why giving the error.
Once it removed it worked.

public abstract class SampleActivity extends AppcompatActivity{

After removal
public class SampleActivity extends AppcompatActivity{

Make sure your UI components are initialized/linked in the onCreate

Whow are there lots of ways to get this error!.
I will add another given none of the others either applied or were the cause.
I forgot the ‘public‘ in the declaration of my activity class! It was package private.
I had been writing so much Bluetooth code that habit caused me to create an activity class that was package private.

This can happen if your activity class is inside a default package. I fixed it by moving the activity class to a new package. and changing the manifest.xml
before
activity android:name=".MainActivity"
after

This error also occurs when you use of ActionBarActivity
but assigned a non AppCompat
style.
To fix this just set your apps style parent to an Theme.AppCompat
one like this.:
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->

I had the same issue (Unable to instantiate Activity) :
FIRST reason :
I was accessing
Camera mCamera;
Camera.Parameters params = mCamera.getParameters();
before
mCamera = Camera.open();
So right way of doing is, open the camera first and then access parameters.
SECOND reason : Declare your activity in the manifest file
<activity android:name=".activities.MainActivity"/>
THIRD reason :
Declare Camera permission in your manifest file.
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.Camera"></uses-feature>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />

If you have Android Studio 2.3.3 and Android Studio 3.0.0 installed, then switching between the two programs for development will cause this error. This is because there exist situations where classes supported in one program is not supported by the other and vice versa. It is important to maintain consistency in which version of Android Studio is being used to develop a project.

Today, we will learn about another runtime exception that says Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo
.
We will explore different possible reasons that result in java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo
. Finally, we will have a solution to eradicate it.
Resolve the java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo
Error
Example Code for Error Demonstration (MainActivity.java
file):
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
//write your remaining code here
}
Example Code (AndroidManifest.xml
file):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
package="com.example.app">
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:dataExtractionRules="@xml/data_extraction_rules"
android:fullBackupContent="@xml/backup_rules"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="@style/Theme.App"
tools:targetApi="31">
<activity
android:name="MainActivity"
android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
When we try to run this while launching an application in the android emulator, we get the error saying java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo
.
There are a few possible causes that we must consider to resolve this. All of them are listed below.
-
Make sure that your
Activity
is added to theAndroidManifest.xml
file. Why is it necessary?It is because whenever we want to make a new
Activity
, we must register in ourAndroidManifest.xml
file. Also, verify all the access modifiers. -
We also get this error when we try to view before
onCreate()
, which is incorrect and results in an error stating unable to instantiate activity component info error. -
Another reason for getting
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo
is that we have added ourActivity
inAndroidManifest.xml
, which is declared asabstract
. In other words, we can say that theActivity
we are trying to access is declaredabstract
. -
Make sure that we are not missing a preceding dot before an activity path (this thing is causing an error in the example code given above).
-
We also have to face this error if we did not declare our
MainActivity.java
file aspublic
. Also, check if your file is in the right package or not.
Now, we know all the possible reasons. How can we fix it?
See the following solution.
Example Code for Solution (MainActivity.java
file):
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
//write your remaining code here
}
Example Code (AndroidManifest.xml
file):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
package="com.example.app">
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:dataExtractionRules="@xml/data_extraction_rules"
android:fullBackupContent="@xml/backup_rules"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="@style/Theme.App"
tools:targetApi="31">
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
We have added a preceding dot before an activity path. We also confirm that our MainActivity.java
file is declared as public
, and we are not trying to access an Activity
declared as abstract
.
Be careful of all the points given as causes because those points are actual solutions if we consider them.

Привет, Хабр! Представляю вашему вниманию перевод статьи Fixing 7 Common Java Exception Handling Mistakes автора Thorben Janssen.
Обработка исключения является одной из наиболее распространенных, но не обязательно одной из самых простых задач. Это все еще одна из часто обсуждаемых тем в опытных командах, и есть несколько передовых методов и распространенных ошибок, о которых вы должны знать.
Вот несколько вещей, которые следует избегать при обработке исключений в вашем приложении.
Ошибка 1: объявление java.lang.Exception или java.lang.Throwable
Как вы уже знаете, вам нужно либо объявить, либо обработать проверяемое исключение. Но проверяемые исключения — это не единственные, которые вы можете указать. Вы можете использовать любой подкласс java.lang.Throwable в предложении throws. Таким образом, вместо указания двух разных исключений, которые выбрасывает следующий фрагмент кода, вы можете просто использовать исключение java.lang.Exception в предложении throws.
public void doNotSpecifyException() throws Exception {
doSomething();
}
public void doSomething() throws NumberFormatException, IllegalArgumentException {
// do something
}
Но это не значит, что вы должны это сделать. Указание Exeption или Throwable делает почти невозможным правильное обращение с ними при вызове вашего метода.Единственная информация, которую получает вызывающий вами метод, заключается в том, что что-то может пойти не так. Но вы не делитесь какой-либо информацией о каких-либо исключительных событиях, которые могут произойти. Вы скрываете эту информацию за обобщенными причинами выброса исключений.Становится еще хуже, когда ваше приложение меняется со временем. Выброс обобщенных исключений скрывает все изменения исключений, которые вызывающий должен ожидать и обрабатывать. Это может привести к нескольким непредвиденным ошибкам, которые необходимо найти в тестовом примере вместо ошибки компилятора.
Используйте конкретные классы
Гораздо лучше указать наиболее конкретные классы исключений, даже если вам приходится использовать несколько из них. Это сообщает вызывающему устройству, какие исключительные событий нужно обрабатывать. Это также позволяет вам обновить предложение throw, когда ваш метод выдает дополнительное исключение. Таким образом, ваши клиенты знают об изменениях и даже получают ошибку, если вы изменяете выбрасываемые исключения. Такое исключение намного проще найти и обработать, чем исключение, которое появляется только при запуске конкретного тестового примера.
public void specifySpecificExceptions() throws NumberFormatException, IllegalArgumentException {
doSomething();
}
Ошибка 2: перехват обобщенных исключений
Серьезность этой ошибки зависит от того, какой программный компонент вы реализуете, и где вы обнаруживаете исключение. Возможно, было бы хорошо поймать java.lang.Exception в основном методе вашего приложения Java SE. Но вы должны предпочесть поймать определенные исключения, если вы реализуете библиотеку или работаете над более глубокими слоями вашего приложения.
Это дает несколько преимуществ. Такой подход позволяет обрабатывать каждый класс исключений по-разному и не позволяет вам перехватывать исключения, которых вы не ожидали.
Но имейте в виду, что первый блок catch, который обрабатывает класс исключения или один из его супер-классов, поймает его. Поэтому сначала обязательно поймайте наиболее специфический класс. В противном случае ваши IDE покажут сообщение об ошибке или предупреждении о недостижимом блоке кода.
try {
doSomething();
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
// handle the NumberFormatException
log.error(e);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
// handle the IllegalArgumentException
log.error(e);
}
Ошибка 3: Логирование и проброс исключений
Это одна из самых популярных ошибок при обработке исключений Java. Может показаться логичным регистрировать исключение там, где оно было брошено, а затем пробросить его вызывающему объекту, который может реализовать конкретную обработку для конкретного случая использования. Но вы не должны делать это по трем причинам:
1. У вас недостаточно информации о прецеденте, который хочет реализовать вызывающий объект вашего метода. Исключение может быть частью ожидаемого поведения и обрабатываться клиентом. В этом случае нет необходимости регистрировать его. Это добавит ложное сообщение об ошибке в файл журнала, который должен быть отфильтрован вашей операционной группой.
2. Сообщение журнала не предоставляет никакой информации, которая еще не является частью самого исключения. Его трассировка и трассировка стека должны содержать всю необходимую информацию об исключительном событии. Сообщение описывает это, а трассировка стека содержит подробную информацию о классе, методе и строке, в которой она произошла.
3. Вы можете регистрировать одно и то же исключение несколько раз, когда вы регистрируете его в каждом блоке catch, который его ловит. Это испортит статистику в вашем инструменте мониторинга и затрудняет чтение файла журнала для ваших операций и команды разработчиков.
Регистрируйте исключение там, где вы его обрабатываете
Таким образом, лучше всего регистрировать исключение тогда, когда вы его обрабатываете. Как в следующем фрагменте кода. Метод doSomething генерирует исключение. Метод doMore просто указывает его, потому что у разработчика недостаточно информации для его обработки. Затем он обрабатывается в методе doEvenMore, который также записывает сообщение журнала.
public void doEvenMore() {
try {
doMore();
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
// handle the NumberFormatException
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
// handle the IllegalArgumentException
}
}
public void doMore() throws NumberFormatException, IllegalArgumentException {
doSomething();
}
public void doSomething() throws NumberFormatException, IllegalArgumentException {
// do something
}
Ошибка 4: использование исключений для управления потоком
Использование исключений для управления потоком вашего приложения считается анти-шаблоном по двум основным причинам:
Они в основном работают как оператор Go To, потому что они отменяют выполнение блока кода и переходят к первому блоку catch, который обрабатывает исключение. Это делает код очень трудным для чтения.
Они не так эффективны, как общие структуры управления Java. Как видно из названия, вы должны использовать их только для исключительных событий, а JVM не оптимизирует их так же, как и другой код.Таким образом, лучше использовать правильные условия, чтобы разбить свои циклы или инструкции if-else, чтобы решить, какие блоки кода должны быть выполнены.
Ошибка 5: удалить причину возникновения исключения
Иногда вам может понадобиться обернуть одно исключение в другое. Возможно, ваша команда решила использовать специальное исключение для бизнеса с кодами ошибок и единой обработкой. Нет ничего плохого в этом подходе, если вы не устраните причину.
Когда вы создаете новое исключение, вы всегда должны устанавливать первоначальное исключение в качестве причины. В противном случае вы потеряете трассировку сообщения и стека, которые описывают исключительное событие, вызвавшее ваше исключение. Класс Exception и все его подклассы предоставляют несколько методов-конструкторов, которые принимают исходное исключение в качестве параметра и задают его как причину.
try {
doSomething();
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
throw new MyBusinessException(e, ErrorCode.CONFIGURATION_ERROR);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
throw new MyBusinessException(e, ErrorCode.UNEXPECTED);
}
Ошибка 6: Обобщение исключений
Когда вы обобщаете исключение, вы ловите конкретный, например, NumberFormatException, и вместо этого генерируете неспецифическое java.lang.Exception. Это похоже, но даже хуже, чем первая ошибка, которую я описал в этой статье. Он не только скрывает информацию о конкретном случае ошибки на вашем API, но также затрудняет доступ.
public void doNotGeneralizeException() throws Exception {
try {
doSomething();
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
throw new Exception(e);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
throw new Exception(e);
}
}
Как вы можете видеть в следующем фрагменте кода, даже если вы знаете, какие исключения может вызвать метод, вы не можете просто их поймать. Вам нужно поймать общий класс Exception и затем проверить тип его причины. Этот код не только громоздкий для реализации, но его также трудно читать. Становится еще хуже, если вы сочетаете этот подход с ошибкой 5. Это удаляет всю информацию об исключительном событии.
try {
doNotGeneralizeException();
} catch (Exception e) {
if (e.getCause() instanceof NumberFormatException) {
log.error("NumberFormatException: " + e);
} else if (e.getCause() instanceof IllegalArgumentException) {
log.error("IllegalArgumentException: " + e);
} else {
log.error("Unexpected exception: " + e);
}
}
Итак, какой подход лучший?
Будьте конкретны и сохраняйте причину возникновения исключения.
Исключения, которые вы бросаете, должны всегда быть максимально конкретными. И если вы оборачиваете исключение, вы также должны установить исходный исключение в качестве причины, чтобы не потерять трассировку стека и другую информацию, описывающую исключительное событие.
try {
doSomething();
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
throw new MyBusinessException(e, ErrorCode.CONFIGURATION_ERROR);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
throw new MyBusinessException(e, ErrorCode.UNEXPECTED);
}
Ошибка 7: добавление ненужных преобразований исключений
Как я уже объяснял ранее, может быть полезно обернуть исключения в пользовательские, если вы установите исходное исключение в качестве причины. Но некоторые архитекторы переусердствуют и вводят специальный класс исключений для каждого архитектурного уровня. Таким образом, они улавливают исключение в уровне персистентности и переносят его в MyPersistenceException. Бизнес-уровень ловит и обертывает его в MyBusinessException, и это продолжается до тех пор, пока оно не достигнет уровня API или не будет обработано.
public void persistCustomer(Customer c) throws MyPersistenceException {
// persist a Customer
}
public void manageCustomer(Customer c) throws MyBusinessException {
// manage a Customer
try {
persistCustomer(c);
} catch (MyPersistenceException e) {
throw new MyBusinessException(e, e.getCode());
}
}
public void createCustomer(Customer c) throws MyApiException {
// create a Customer
try {
manageCustomer(c);
} catch (MyBusinessException e) {
throw new MyApiException(e, e.getCode());
}
}
Легко видеть, что эти дополнительные классы исключений не дают никаких преимуществ. Они просто вводят дополнительные слои, которые оборачивают исключение. И хотя было бы забавно обернуть подарок во множестве красочной бумаги, это не очень хороший подход к разработке программного обеспечения.
Обязательно добавьте информацию
Просто подумайте о коде, который должен обрабатывать исключение или о самом себе, когда вам нужно найти проблему, вызвавшую исключение. Сначала вам нужно прорваться через несколько уровней исключений, чтобы найти исходную причину. И до сегодняшнего дня я никогда не видел приложение, которое использовало этот подход, и добавляло полезную информацию с каждым слоем исключения. Они либо обобщают сообщение об ошибке и код, либо предоставляют избыточную информацию.
Поэтому будьте осторожны с количеством настраиваемых классов исключений, которые вы вводите. Вы всегда должны спрашивать себя, дает ли новый класс исключений дополнительную информацию или другие преимущества. В большинстве случаев для достижения этого вам не требуется более одного уровня пользовательских исключений.
public void persistCustomer(Customer c) {
// persist a Customer
}
public void manageCustomer(Customer c) throws MyBusinessException {
// manage a Customer
throw new MyBusinessException(e, e.getCode());
}
public void createCustomer(Customer c) throws MyBusinessException {
// create a Customer
manageCustomer(c);
}
в настоящее время я работаю над включением/выключением фонарика. Я получаю эту ошибку java.lang.RuntimeException: Fail to connect to camera service
Я не знаю, почему эта ошибка возникает. Я ссылался на многие решения, но моя проблема все еще не была решена. Когда фонарик включен, ошибка не возникает, но когда фонарик выключен, то возникает ошибка.

попробуйте это…
static Camera camera = null;
объявить его сверху.
try{
if(clickOn == true) {
clickOn = false;
camera = Camera.open();
Parameters parameters = camera.getParameters();
parameters.setFlashMode(Parameters.FLASH_MODE_TORCH);
camera.setParameters(parameters);
camera.startPreview();
remoteViews.setViewVisibility(R.id.button1, View.GONE);
remoteViews.setViewVisibility(R.id.button2, View.VISIBLE);
localAppWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(componentName, remoteViews);
} else {
clickOn = true;
camera.stopPreview();
camera.release();
camera = null;
remoteViews.setViewVisibility(R.id.button1, View.VISIBLE);
remoteViews.setViewVisibility(R.id.button2, View.GONE);
localAppWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(componentName, remoteViews);
}
} catch(Exception e) {
Log.e("Error", ""+e);
}
У меня была та же проблема, что ни один из ответов здесь не решен, поэтому после ее решения я добавляю свой способ ее решения. Это относится к новым версиям android, которые поддерживают настройку разрешений для каждого приложения (начиная с Marshmallow, 6.0). Разрешение для камеры может быть отключено и должно быть включено в настройках приложения.
Настройки — > Приложения — > [Ваше Приложение] — > Разрешения
подробнее об этом здесь: http://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html
Я также видел эту ошибку:
java.ленг.RuntimeException: не удается подключиться к службе камеры
экспериментируя с фонариком. Оказывается, я был немного небрежен с моими разрешениями и скопировал их в тело блока приложения в манифесте.XML-файл. Поэтому вам действительно нужно подчиняться синтаксису, как описано в:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest-element.html
в противном случае приложение не будет работать с сбоем подключения службы на камере.открытый призыв. Это должно выглядеть так, основываясь на ваших разрешениях в вопросе:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus"/>
<application
убедитесь, что ваши разрешения и список функций содержатся только в разделе манифеста, а не похоронены в разделе приложения!
эта проблема может возникнуть в Android 6.0 если вы не включили разрешение камеры для вашего приложения. Начиная с Android 6.0 вы можете обрабатывать разрешение приложения Погода вы дадите или не конкретное разрешение для приложения.
Итак, вам нужно включить разрешение settings->apps->your_app->enable camera permission
если он еще не включен.
Если ваша версия ОС 6.0 или более поздней версии попробуйте это, надеюсь, это поможет.
public class RequestUserPermission {
private Activity activity;

если вы попытаетесь открыть камеру с помощью cameraID, который не существует, вы получите ту же ошибку (java.ленг.RuntimeException: не удается подключиться к службе камеры)
посмотреть код в этом блоке
camera.setParameters(parameters);
camera.stopPreview();
camera.release();
camera = null;
вызов release()
чтобы освободить камеры для использования другими приложениями. Приложения должны немедленно освободить камеру в onPause()
(и повторно открыть () его в onResume().
в приведенном выше коде сразу после выпуска вы помещаете null в камера

простой ответ, который я могу найти на эту проблему, заключается в том, что я не просил разрешения камеры для пользователя, и поэтому по умолчанию разрешение камеры не было доступно для моего приложения на устройствах Marshmallow. Я просто добавил проверку разрешений для камеры перед запуском камеры, и все работает нормально.
попробуйте использовать эту строку, когда вы выходите из приложения:
System.exit(0);
Я только что получил код приложения фонарик откуда-то. Он использовал System.exit(0)
закрыть приложение. Я убрал его, зная, что это не лучшая практика. Затем я начал получать эти ошибки. Я попробовал решение принятого ответа, но затем я начал получать некоторые другие ошибки. Поэтому, вместо того, чтобы решать их, я просто положил это System.exit(0)
линия спины. И он начал работать нормально. Я знаю, что это не очень хороший способ, но для небольшого приложения для фонарика вы можете попробовать это быстрое решение.
Если весь ваш код в порядке, вы должны проверить, есть ли какое-либо другое приложение с помощью камеры. Затем вы должны закрыть другое приложение, которое в настоящее время использует вашу камеру.
вам нужно stopPreview()
и release()
Как только вы вернулись с камеры,
так что другое приложение может получить к нему доступ. Сделайте класс» Camera » статическим и назовите его null
на onPause()
. Это решает мою проблему.
попробуйте:
public class CameraPhotoCapture extends Activity{
static Camera mcamera = null;
@Override
protected void onPause() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if (mcamera != null) {
mcamera.stopPreview();
mcamera.release();
mcamera = null;
Log.d(DEBUG_TAG, "releaseCamera -- done");
}
super.onPause();
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if (mcamera != null) {
Camera.open();
Log.d(DEBUG_TAG, "openCamera -- done");
}
super.onResume();
}
}
в моем Android peoject имеет ту же проблему. Это моя ошибка Logcat
