Android - App crashes only on first launch but works the second time

I am having a problem with my Android Flashlight App. The app crashes when I try to press the home button of the device while the app is opened then resuming (by clicking the app icon on home screen not recent apps button). After I terminate the app from the recent apps list then opening again, it does not crash anymore using the same instructions above.
Please see code below.

Android AccountManager throws AuthenticatorException: bind failure when adding account

I am trying to add custom account with AccountManager.addAccount() on android. I was following this tutorial. When I am trying to get result with AccountManagerCallback's run method I get AuthenticatorException with message: android.accounts.AuthenticatorException: bind failure.
After some research I found two potential solutions, but I already declared authenticator inside application tag, and checked my account type. I also compared manifest permissions with those from tutorial. I am using android studio 1.4, and I tried it on several emulators, and on physical device.
Here is my AndroidManifest.xml, and also authenticator.xml and account_preferences.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<meta-data

I have also tried naming service .model.utility.MyAuthenticatorService with no effect.

Here is MyAuthenticatorService:
public class MyAuthenticatorService extends Service {
#Nullable
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
MyAuthenticator myAuthenticator = new MyAuthenticator(this);
return myAuthenticator.getIBinder();
}
}
Here is MyAuthenticator:
public class MyAuthenticator extends AbstractAccountAuthenticator {
private Context context;
public MyAuthenticator(Context context) {
super(context);
this.context = context;
}
#Override
public Bundle addAccount(AccountAuthenticatorResponse response, String accountType, String authTokenType, String[] requiredFeatures, Bundle options) throws NetworkErrorException {
final Intent intent = new Intent(context, LoginActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(LoginActivity.ARG_ACCOUNT_TYPE, accountType);
intent.putExtra(LoginActivity.ARG_AUTH_TYPE, authTokenType);
intent.putExtra(LoginActivity.ARG_IS_ADDING_NEW_ACCOUNT, true);
intent.putExtra(AccountManager.KEY_ACCOUNT_AUTHENTICATOR_RESPONSE, response);
final Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putParcelable(AccountManager.KEY_INTENT, intent);
return bundle;
}
//other override methods (they all return null for now)
}
And here is MainActivity:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private Toolbar toolbar;
private NavigationView navigationView;
private DrawerLayout drawerLayout;
private SharedPreferences sharedPreferences;
private AccountManager accountManager;
private static final String ACCOUNT_TYPE = "com.test.myproject";
#Override

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_drawer);
this.accountManager = AccountManager.get(this);
signIn(ACCOUNT_TYPE, "access_token");
//other stuff
}
private void signIn(String accountType, String authTokenType) {
final AccountManagerFuture<Bundle> future = accountManager.addAccount(ACCOUNT_TYPE, authTokenType, null, null, this, new AccountManagerCallback<Bundle>() {
#Override
public void run(AccountManagerFuture<Bundle> future) {
try {
Bundle bnd = future.getResult();
showMessage("Account was created");
Log.d("udinic", "AddNewAccount Bundle is " + bnd);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
showMessage(e.getMessage());
}
}
}, null);
}
}
When debbuging, error is thrown on Bundle bnd = future.getResult();, and future has state 3 and outcome android.accounts.AuthenticatorException: bind failure. Tough execution never gets to LoginActivity, or at least breakpoints are not triggered, here it is:

Can someone help me with resolving this issue?

Ok, so, it was really a copy paste error, it made me crazy. In authenticator.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<account-authenticator xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:accountType="com.test.myproject"
android:icon="#drawable/test_logo"
android:smallIcon="#drawable/test_logo"
android:label="#string/not_implemented"
android:accountPreferences="#xml/account_preferences"
/>
</PreferenceScreen>
</PreferenceScreen> is not supposed to be here.
If you are getting this error, check your xml files.

You can using addAccountExplicitly

I had the same issue too.
Just like Miljac's, my problem was about AndroidManifest.xml file.

Unable to instantiate application java.lang.RuntimeException:...BackupDB cannot be cast to android.app.Application

MANIFEST:(partial view)
MainActivity, program immediately terminates and issues the messages in the Log.
It should have started showing the buttons to select options to continue execution.
After days of researching this forum, I found postings that suggest to place the BackupDb inside the application in the Manifest.
After doing that, I ended up with the message in the log.
Having exhausted my research venues, I'd like to know what could be the problem and how to solve it.

Comment:
I removed the BackupDb from the application and reinstated it as activity.
<activity
android:name=".BackupDB"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.peter.databasetest.BACKUPDB" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
The program now brings up the buttons as expected, but when trying the backup I still get the same message as in the earlier log. (Catch-22?)
Most current log:

>Question:
>Is there any known limitation calling an AsyncTask by way of startActivityForResult?
>Could this be a factor?

The problem is in the Manifest file, you are setting your application:name to be te BackupDB class and this class is only an AsyncTask not an Application.
As can be seen on the explanation of "android:name":
An optional name of a class implementing the overall
android.app.Application for this package. [string]

How to pass get text from userinput (edittext) and put into a textview in another activity?

I would like to take user input entered in the EditTextField(in the EnterNewFile class) and put it into the TextField (in the NoteEdit class). Please help! Thanks! FYI- I use XML files for the layouts of these two classes.

Take the input from Edittext send it through the Intent to your destination activity and then set it in the TextView there.
I think you seem to already be doing that in your code:
The issue might be the you've not defined in your XML that nextButton function should be call on click ( inside android:onClick: inside your Button).
What you can also do is, in your onCreate funcion set up a listener which listens to the button click and call the intent from within it.
final EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.file_name_edittext);
mButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
/** Called when the user clicks the Next button */
Log.d("EditText", mText.getText().toString());
Intent intent = new Intent(EnterNewFile.this, NoteEdit.class);
String message = editText.getText().toString();
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE, message);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
//here you are taking value from EditText and send it to other activity:
Instead of
// Get the message from the intent
Intent intent = getIntent();
String message = intent.getStringExtra(EnterNewFile.EXTRA_MESSAGE);
use following in onCreate() of your other NoteEdit activity:
Intent intent = getIntent();
if((intent.getExtras()!=null) && !intent.getExtras().isEmpty()){
String message = intent.getExtras().getString(EnterNewFile.EXTRA_MESSAGE);
}

this code is working:-
scrollview=(ScrollView)findViewById(R.id.scrollview1);
tb2.setTextSize(30);
tb2.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());
scrollview.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
scrollview.fullScroll(View.FOCUS_DOWN);
}
});
chat1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
{
textsaring1=edt1.getText().toString();
tb2.setText(tb2.getText()+" "+textsaring1);
edt1.setText("");
}
}

Application code used to work but now crashes

Thing is my application used to run PERFECTLY but then i wanted to change packages names and classes names so i created another project and copy pasted my code and did the changes there. no error in eclipse but app crashes now !! here's whats my app is about:
public class LocationMobileUser implements LocationListener {
Context gContext;
boolean gps_enabled=false;
boolean network_enabled=false;
public LocationMobileUser(Context gContext){
this.gContext = gContext;
}
public static final String URL =

task.execute(new String[] { URL });
}
public class GetXMLTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... urls) {
String output = null;
for (String url : urls) {
output = getOutputFromUrl(url);
}
return output;
}
public String getOutputFromUrl(String url) {
StringBuffer output = new StringBuffer("");
int x =1;
try {
InputStream stream = getHttpConnection(url);
LineNumberReader lnr = new LineNumberReader(new InputStreamReader(stream));
String line = "";
int lineNo;
for (lineNo = 1; lineNo < 90; lineNo++) {
if (lineNo == x) {
line = lnr.readLine();
//output.append(line);
Pattern p = Pattern.compile(">(.*?)<");
Matcher m = p.matcher(line);
if (m.find()) {
output.append(m.group(1)); // => "isp"
}
} else
lnr.readLine();
}
} catch (IOException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
return output.toString();
}
// Makes HttpURLConnection and returns InputStream
public InputStream getHttpConnection(String urlString)
throws IOException {
InputStream stream = null;
URL url = new URL(urlString);
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
try {
HttpURLConnection httpConnection = (HttpURLConnection) connection;
httpConnection.setRequestMethod("GET");
httpConnection.connect();
if (httpConnection.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
stream = httpConnection.getInputStream();
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
return stream;
}

this app will be exported into a JAR file and then included into another app as a library using build path; and here's what i wrote in this new app:
public class LocationTheApp extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
LocationMobileUser LMU = new LocationMobileUser (this);
Location location = LMU.getLocation();
GsmCellLocation CellLocation = LMU.getCellLocation();
String URL = LocationMobileUser.URL;
LocationMobileUser.GetXMLTask xmlp = LMU.new GetXMLTask();
String Provider = LMU.getProvider(location);
String isp = xmlp.getOutputFromUrl(URL);
String latLongString = LMU.updateWithNewLocation(location);
String cidlacString = LMU.CellLacLocation(CellLocation);
String operator = LMU.getSimOperator();
TextView myLocationText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.myLocationText);
myLocationText.setText("Your current GPS position is:\n" + latLongString);
TextView myprovider = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.myprovider);
myprovider.setText("\nYour GPS position is provided by:\n" + Provider);
TextView myCellLocation = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.mycelllocation);
myCellLocation.setText("\nYour current Cell position is:\n" + cidlacString);
TextView myOperator = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.myoperator);
myOperator.setText("\nYour GSM operator is:\n" + operator);
TextView myispText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.myispText);
myispText.setText("\nYour current ISP is:\n" + isp);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
}
Code contains no errors !!
if its any use here's my Manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.locationmobileuser"
android:versionCode="1"

</application>
Tried to toggle the package name in the Manifest between locationmobileuser and locationtheapp but still app crashes !!
As i said used to work like a charm in my previous projects !!

Any help would be really appreciated !!

see the package name of menifest
package="com.example.locationmobileuser
and activity package name both should be same change this package
<activity
android:name="com.example.locationtheapp.LocationTheApp"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>

you need to add empty constructor in your locationmobileuser class.
public LocationMobileUser(){
}

don't need to do all these things , just go to old project and right click on the project ->> refactor to rename project name or package name
