BroadcastReceiver broken in service

[multplx]

Hi I have a kivy app with an activity and a service.

In service/main.py I have:

• from android.broadcast import BroadcastReceiver
  Up to last week this was working fine. It is now throwing the error:
• ''NoneType' object has no attribute 'getWindow''.
  flagged to _android.pyx line 178.
  I believe this is being caused by this change:
• 3345c66
  and maybe get_keyboard_height() is now being called more than it was.

Can a change be made so that get_keyboard_height() is not called when in a service?
Or is there some change I can make in my code to accomodate this commit?

Follow up:
I took the following steps:

• cd ~/kivy/myapp/.buildozer/android/platform/python-for-android
• rm -fr dist/my_app
• git checkout ce41723
• cd ~/kivy/myapp
• buildozer android debug

My .apk now runs BroadcastReceiver in service without error.

The same here. Checking out the ce41723 causes, that the service is just not starting

@jtoledo1974 try to checkout 766a8f6 as work around

This has been confirmed to work recently enough, closing.
