Android - Unsupported Service: audio

Question

I am trying to understand and resolve and error I am seeing in the Eclipse workspace log while working on an Android app that implements an IME. I am new to Android and Ecli

Answer 1

This is a bug in android.inputmethodservice.KeyboardView

The failing code is

public KeyboardView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) { 
...
    mAudioManager = (AudioManager) context.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE); 
...
}

It should be wrapped in isInEditMode() check to skip getting audio manager during layout editing. Strange but I cannot find any issue reported in the Android bug tracker!
