Android : IllegalArgumentException: "Component class X does not exist" in API 17 (no crash in API 8)

Question

My emulators :

When I launch the tablet emulator I get :

FATAL EXCEPTION: main

When I launch the froyo emulator all is fine (EDIT : no it is not - the receiver is not enabled BUT still there is no crash).
Is it a known issue or something ?

Manifest :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="di.k23b.hw3"
    android:permission="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
    <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name="di.k23b.hw3.activities.MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/title_activity_main" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity
            android:name="di.k23b.hw3.activities.SettingsActivity"
            android:label="@string/title_activity_settings" >
        </activity>
        <receiver
            android:name="di.k23b.hw3.receivers.TriggerMonitoringBootReceiver"
            android:enabled="false" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>
        <receiver
            android:name="di.k23b.hw3.receivers.BatteryMonitoringReceiver"
            android:enabled="false"/>
    </application>
</manifest>

Relevant parts from the receiver (WIP !) :

private static void enable(Context context, boolean enable, String className) {
    PackageManager pacman = context.getPackageManager();
    final ComponentName componentName = new ComponentName(context, className);
    final int state = (enable) ? PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED
            : PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED;
    pacman.setComponentEnabledSetting(componentName, state,  // line 81
            PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);
}

public static void enable(Context baseContext, boolean enable) {
    enable(baseContext, enable,                 // line 86
            TriggerMonitoringBootReceiver.class.getSimpleName());
}

And in SettingsActivity:

@Override
public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(SharedPreferences sp, String key) {
    if (MASTER_ENABLE.equals(key)) {
        TriggerMonitoringBootReceiver.enable(getBaseContext(),        // line 192
                sp.getBoolean(key, false));
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                "CB: " + sp.getBoolean(key, false), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                .show();
    }
}

EDIT : all clear now, using ComponentName(Context pkg, Class<?> cls)- as for the difference in the APIs:

Calls to PackageManager.setComponentEnabledSetting will now throw an IllegalArgumentException if the given component class name does not exist in the application's manifest. - from the Android documentation

Answer 1

TriggerMonitoringBootReceiver.class.getSimpleName();

and package

PackageManager pacman = context.getPackageManager();

which together give

di.k23b.hw3.TriggerMonitoringBootReceiver

so you are missing "/receivers/" folder prefix in class name

Answer 2

Just summarizing information already in this thread.

Use the constructor ComponentName(Context pkg, Class<?> cls).

Also, the component name needs to be specified in the manifest. See JELLYBEAN in this link.
Calls to PackageManager.setComponentEnabledSetting will now throw an IllegalArgumentException if the given component class name does not exist in the application's manifest.

Answer 3

If you use AndroidAnnotations, use overridden class name instead.

// CORRECT class definition.
ComponentName receiver = new ComponentName(context, NotificationPublisher_.class);

but,

// THIS WILL GIVE YOU CRASH.
ComponentName receiver = new ComponentName(context, NotificationPublisher.class);
