react-native-background-geolocation: INSTALL_FAILED_CONFLICTING_PROVIDER when installing on android

You don’t need to modify anything in the library’s files to support different build variants, especially since such changes would get overwritten during any future updates.

The provider label is just a string, so you can update it in a couple ways:

In your app/build.gradle where you define the build variants:

flavorDimensions "build"
productFlavors {
        beta {
            dimension "build"
            applicationIdSuffix ".beta"
            resValue "string", "mauron85_bgloc_content_authority", "com.marianhello.app.mauron85.bgloc.provider.beta"
        }
}

Or if you have separate resource folders per variant, you can put this in the file app/src/VARIANT/res/values/strings.xml:

So for example, in app/src/beta/res/values/strings.xml:

    <string name="mauron85_bgloc_content_authority">com.marianhello.app.mauron85.bgloc.provider.beta</string>

Both approaches work for me, using 0.5.3 of this library, building under Android Studio 3.4.1 w/ gradle 5.4.1.

(edit: corrected gradle version)

I was able to resolve this issue by adding the following configuration in my gradle file:

resValue "string", "mauron85_bgloc_content_authority", "${fullApplicationIdentifier}.mauron85.bgloc.provider"

where fullApplicationIdentifier is the concat of my applicationId and my applicationIdSuffix

We find one way to do this:

Node_modules/@mauron85/android/common/build.gradle

`// ADD THIS ON TOP def getDate() { return new Date().format(‘yyyyMMddHHmmss’) }

//CHANGE THIS ALL defaultConfig { resValue “string”, resourcePrefix + “account_name”, ‘Locations’ resValue “string”, resourcePrefix + “account_type”, applicationId + getDate() + ‘.mauron85.bgloc.account’ resValue “string”, resourcePrefix + “content_authority”, applicationId + getDate() + ‘.mauron85.bgloc.provider’ testInstrumentationRunner “android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner” minSdkVersion project.ext.getMinSdkVersion() versionCode 1 versionName “1.0” }`

You need to uninstall test package

My application was working previously (on alpha.40), but has since stopped installing onto my device. Failing with the following error:

I have tried downgrading the alpha.40, but that fails with a different error:

The command I am using to try and run it on my device is: react-native run-android Expected Behavior

It should install successfully onto my device Actual Behavior

It fails with the above errors Possible Fix

I’m not sure, but should it be trying to run code on a device during a normal build. Steps to Reproduce

1. Try and install an depending on react-native-background-geolocation on an android device

dependencies from package.json: “dependencies”: { “@mapbox/polyline”: “^1.0.0”, “axios”: “^0.18.0”, “hoist-non-react-statics”: “^3.1.0”, “moment”: “^2.22.2”, “moment-timezone”: “^0.5.23”, “native-base”: “^2.7.2”, “react”: “16.4.1”, “react-native”: “0.57.0”, “react-native-dropdownalert”: “^3.5.0”, “react-native-firebase”: “4.3.8”, “react-native-google-signin”: “react-native-community/react-native-google-signin”, “react-native-maps”: “^0.21.0”, “react-native-material-buttons”: “^0.5.0”, “react-native-mauron85-background-geolocation”: “0.5.0-alpha.50”, “react-native-permissions”: “1.1.1”, “react-native-size-matters”: “^0.1.3”, “react-native-sound”: “^0.10.9”, “react-native-vector-icons”: “^5.0.0”, “react-navigation”: “^2.9.3”, “react-redux”: “^5.0.7”, “redux”: “^4.0.0”, “redux-persist”: “^5.10.0” }

ext section from android/build.gradle: ext { buildToolsVersion = “27.0.3” minSdkVersion = 16 compileSdkVersion = 27 targetSdkVersion = 26 supportLibVersion = “27.1.1” googlePlayServicesVersion = “15.0.1” androidMapsUtilsVersion = “0.5+” gradle3EXPERIMENTAL = “yes” }

Let me know if any other config is relevant. Context

I am not able to develop currently. Debug logs

Relevant errors included above.

Not fixed, afaik.

Fixed in version 0.6.0

Thanks @RodneyOnyi, this actually worked, could you explain me why though? I submitted a PR for this if you wanna take a look https://github.com/mauron85/background-geolocation-android/pull/33
