React-native-background-geolocation: INSTALL_FAILED_CONFLICTING_PROVIDER when installing on android

[yarrichar]

Your Environment

• Plugin version: 0.5.0-alpha.50
• Platform: Android
• OS version: 9 (Pie)
• Device manufacturer and model: Pixel 1

Context

My application was working previously (on alpha.40), but has since stopped installing onto my device. Failing with the following error:

I have tried downgrading the alpha.40, but that fails with a different error:

The command I am using to try and run it on my device is: react-native run-android

Expected Behavior

It should install successfully onto my device

Actual Behavior

It fails with the above errors

Possible Fix

I'm not sure, but should it be trying to run code on a device during a normal build.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Try and install an depending on react-native-background-geolocation on an android device

dependencies from package.json:

You need to uninstall test package

Sorry, for being a bit slow, how do I do that? I just added it with:
yarn add react-native-mauron85-background-geolocation

I didn't explicitly add any test packages.

[mauron85]

Have you run tests? Eg. From android studio?

[yarrichar]

Thanks for the reply. I haven't explicitly run any tests. This is happening when I try and run my code on my device with:
react-native run-android

This had previously been working.

[mauron85]

Try to uninstall com.marianhello.backgroundgeolocation.test and com.marianhello.bgloc.react.test.

with adb uninstall

[yarrichar]

I just tried, but it failed with the same error.
This uninstalled: com.marianhello.bgloc.react.test
This didn't exist: com.marianhello.backgroundgeolocation.test

[mauron85]

There is something wrong with your setup:
Installing APK 'react-native-mauron85-background-geolocation-common-debug-androidTest.apk'

don't understand why library is installed as apk, but I guess this is your problem

[yarrichar]

Do you have any thoughts about what could cause that? Not sure where to start.

Thanks for your help on this.

[mauron85]

Not sure. Can you post your gradle and manifest files?

[yarrichar]

We haven't worked out why it started breaking, but it appears to be to do with android build flavours.

Basically we have different build flavours for dev / prod / etc. Executing run-android by itself tries to install the debug version of all the flavours

Passing in the flavour using --flavor DevDebug or using gradle to build a specific one gets rid of the problem.

One thing I noticed though is that the provider name mentioned in the error: "com.swiftfare.fleet.mauron85.bgloc.provider" doesn't include the suffix specified as part of the flavour definition. E.g ".dev" below:

productFlavors {
        dev {
            dimension "env"
            applicationIdSuffix ".dev"

Happy for this to be closed, if the above is correct

[mauron85]

It makes sense. You can not have multiple content providers registered with same name, which is case if you're using flavors (and you do). Not sure if this can be handled by plugin. Please share your experience with adding applicationIdSuffix.

EDIT: can -> can not

[BjornRombaut]

I was able to resolve this issue by adding the following configuration in my gradle file:

resValue "string", "mauron85_bgloc_content_authority", "${fullApplicationIdentifier}.mauron85.bgloc.provider"

where fullApplicationIdentifier is the concat of my applicationId and my applicationIdSuffix

[chifffon]

I was able to resolve this issue by adding the following configuration in my gradle file:

resValue "string", "mauron85_bgloc_content_authority", "${fullApplicationIdentifier}.mauron85.bgloc.provider"

where fullApplicationIdentifier is the concat of my applicationId and my applicationIdSuffix

In which gradle file and which section? @BjornRombaut

[RodneyOnyi]

@jl-ib check react-native-background-geolocation-common gradle, I had to change the folder name in the @mauron85_react-native-background-geolocation-common from provider to providers to get it to work

[chifffon]

Thanks @RodneyOnyi, this actually worked, could you explain me why though? I submitted a PR for this if you wanna take a look https://github.com/mauron85/background-geolocation-android/pull/33

[munduu]

We find one way to do this:

Node_modules/@mauron85/android/common/build.gradle

`// ADD THIS ON TOP
def getDate() {
return new Date().format('yyyyMMddHHmmss')
}

//CHANGE THIS ALL
defaultConfig {
resValue "string", resourcePrefix + "account_name", 'Locations'
resValue "string", resourcePrefix + "account_type", applicationId + getDate() + '.mauron85.bgloc.account'
resValue "string", resourcePrefix + "content_authority", applicationId + getDate() + '.mauron85.bgloc.provider'
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
minSdkVersion project.ext.getMinSdkVersion()
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}`

[diegorodriguezgomez]

Thanks @munduu, this works for me

[greghaygood]

You don't need to modify anything in the library's files to support different build variants, especially since such changes would get overwritten during any future updates.

The provider label is just a string, so you can update it in a couple ways:

In your app/build.gradle where you define the build variants:

flavorDimensions "build"
productFlavors {
        beta {
            dimension "build"
            applicationIdSuffix ".beta"
            resValue "string", "mauron85_bgloc_content_authority", "com.marianhello.app.mauron85.bgloc.provider.beta"
        }
}

Or if you have separate resource folders per variant, you can put this in the file app/src/VARIANT/res/values/strings.xml:

So for example, in app/src/beta/res/values/strings.xml:

    <string name="mauron85_bgloc_content_authority">com.marianhello.app.mauron85.bgloc.provider.beta</string>

Both approaches work for me, using 0.5.3 of this library, building under Android Studio 3.4.1 w/ gradle 5.4.1.

(edit: corrected gradle version)

[pedrocarlos-ti]

Thanks @munduu, this works for me too!!!

[mauron85]

Fixed in version 0.6.0

[teo029]

Not fixed, afaik.

[littlehome-eugene]

where is the code (or tag) for 0.6.0 ? can only see 0.5* in this repo..

[ppeelman]

It is not yet fixed. I have a React Native app with 2 flavors using react-native-background-geolocation version 0.6.3.
I got the same error.

I solved it by following greghaygood's suggestion: adding a new value in strings.xml.
