I've got a video streaming app that has been running well for a number of years but I recently upgraded to
targetSdkVersion 28
I'm now seeing the following error...
java.lang.SecurityException: Media projections require a foreground service of type ServiceInfo.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_MEDIA_PROJECTION

I followed the suggestions at Media projections require a foreground service of type ServiceInfo.FOREGROUND_SERVICE TYPE_MEDIA_PROJECTION in Android Pie and Q without any luck.
My manifest includes
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" />
<application
...
<service
android:name="screencast.StreamerService"
android:foregroundServiceType="mediaProjection"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true"
tools:targetApi="q"
/>
</application>
The service is called like so...
package screencast;
final public class StreamerService extends Service implements Streamer.Listener {
...
I'm able to successfully request the permission (get a result code of -1 in onActivityResult
like so...
public void requestMediaProjection() {
//Log.v(TAG, "requestMediaProjection");
final MediaProjectionManager manager = (MediaProjectionManager) context.getSystemService(Context.MEDIA_PROJECTION_SERVICE);
context.startActivityForResult(
manager.createScreenCaptureIntent(),
REQUEST_MEDIA_PROJECTION);
}
int resultCode;
Intent data;
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
this.resultCode = resultCode;
this.data = data;
if (requestCode != REQUEST_MEDIA_PROJECTION) {
return;
}
if (resultCode != Activity.RESULT_OK) {
return;
}
enterStreamDescription();
}
I get the crash later on here when I call manager.getMediaProjection...
public void startScreenCast(int resultCode,
Intent data,
int screenDensity,
List<Connection> connections,
AudioConfig audioConfig,
VideoConfig videoConfig,
Streamer.MODE mode,
File mp4,
MediaProjectionManager manager
) {
...
mMediaProjection = manager.getMediaProjection(resultCode, data);
}
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
