I have an app that receives from the Broadcastreceiver to fetch new data from the web(json), when my app is running while it fetches; everything runs well, when the app is closed it crashes "Your app stopped working". Even the following good to check if my app is in the foreground doesn't work. i want it so if the app is closed, not running, to call an intent to open the app for it not to crash, so how do I check if application is closed?
My code;
public class UpdateReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private static long alarmTime = 0;
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (isAppForground(context)){
Toast.makeText(context, "APP IN FOREGROUND", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {
Intent intentActivity = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
intentActivity.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(intentActivity);
Toast.makeText(context, "APP NOT RUNNING", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
//set new alarm for next tuesday
UpcomingFragment.getInstance().setAlarm(-1);
//updates the current json
UpcomingFragment.getInstance().update();
}
public static long getAlermTimeInMillis(){
return alarmTime;
}
public boolean isAppForground(Context mContext) {
ActivityManager am = (ActivityManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
List<ActivityManager.RunningTaskInfo> tasks = am.getRunningTasks(1);
if (!tasks.isEmpty()) {
ComponentName topActivity = tasks.get(0).topActivity;
if (!topActivity.getPackageName().equals(mContext.getPackageName())) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
}
