Unable to instantiate receiver java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Question

I got an error in my android application when it tries to instantiate a receiver that i use to start a service on boot up. The error is obvious, it can not find the class fi

Answer 1

You have to put your Receiver in some package. The system won't be able to instantiate it if it is on the main package.

I had the same problem. Fortunately before searching the error on internet I was doing another java project. I just realized that the bug in there was similar to this one. I tried it just now and worked. :)
