Firebase with qt as service (Android)

Devoo

Hi,
I am trying to move firebase listener from main application activity (where works correctly) to background service.
For some reason service cannot be initialized with firebase.

Log from ADB logcat:

Default FirebaseApp is not initialized in this process com.test.example:notification. Make sure to call FirebaseApp.initializeApp(Context) first.

To create service solution I am using QAndroidService.

void FirebaseListener::initialize()
        {
            if(m_app == nullptr)
            {
                QAndroidJniObject androidActivity = QtAndroid::androidService();
                ::firebase::App* appInstance = ::firebase::App::GetInstance();
                if (appInstance)
                {
                    qInfo() << "Firebase app instance already exists";
                    m_app = appInstance;
                }
                else
                {
                    qInfo() << "Creating Firebase app instance";

// This code line affects application crash
                    m_app = ::firebase::App::Create(
                                m_jniEnvironment,
                                androidActivity.object<jobject>());
                }

                m_moduleInitializer.Initialize(m_app, nullptr, _initializeMessaging);
            }
        }

Firebase listener is implemented as descriptes here:

How to fix it? Any idea?

@Devoo said in Firebase with qt as service (Android):

androidActivity.object<jobject>()

did you check the return value of androidActivity.object<jobject>()?
Also logcat should print some lines regarding the crash itself.

Yes, I checked it - previously I also had a different Java class that required the service context and worked well :\

Also logcat should print some lines regarding the crash itself.

I will check it on Monday.

I am using replicas to communicate with main application.

@Devoo
so the crash comes from the firebase9LogAssert call. I assume this is the error message you already mentioned.
It may simply be that your C++ call comes too late in the call hierarchy. Sometimes some calls are only possible from the Context itself (java), since Qt enters the whole application lifecycle at a later point. Which is very likely since you are saying that it works from java side.
But hard to say, when is FirebaseListener::initialize() called and what does ::firebase::App::GetInstance() and m_moduleInitializer.Initialize() do exactly?

Devoo

I have tried to implement the same solution using only java language and it works correctly.
I have one small problem now, but I will create new topic for this.
Thank You for help.

try this:

in your header

QAndroidJniEnvironment *_jniEnv;
   ::firebase::App* _app;
   ::firebase::ModuleInitializer _initializer;
   QAndroidJniObject _jniObj;

in your .cpp file:

_jniEnv = new QAndroidJniEnvironment();
  QAndroidJniObject jniObject = QtAndroid::androidActivity();
  ::firebase::App *instance = ::firebase::App::GetInstance();

  if (instance) {
      _app = instance;
  }
else {
      jniObject = QtAndroid::androidActivity();
      _app = ::firebase::App::Create(*_jniEnv, jniObject.object<jobject>());
  }
}
