app opens a crash dialog on device startup

Every time when I open my device I see this message:

Logcat:

    12-19 11:57:47.914: E/com.parse.PushService(18423): The Parse push service cannot start because     Parse.initialize has not yet been called.

Parse initialize:

Parse.initialize(this, "Application ID", "Client Key");
    ParseInstallation installation = ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation();
    installation.saveInBackground();

It pops every time that I open my device... what to do?

I too had a similar error message.

I believe that one can initialise parse using

Parse.initialize(this, "PARSE_APPLICATION_ID", "PARSE_CLIENT_KEY");

only once in a whole app.i.e you cannot initialise parse again and again in each activity or fragment. I recommend initialising parse in the main activity and do not repeat the initialise code anywhere else.

It seems like you're using Parse. If so, you have to make sure to set it up right before you can use it in your app. Make sure you've followed all the steps documented in the QuickStart guide from Parse. As the error message informs you that you haven't called the initiaze method of Parse, make sure you do this in your Application subclass that you have to create by yourself:

Parse.initialize(this, "APPLICATION ID", "CLIENT KEY");

After you did this, you can test Parse to check if everything is configured as it should with the Test the SDK section at the bottom of the QuickStart guide.

You should call this in your Application class, in order just do it once.

import com.parse.Parse;
import android.app.Application;

public class YourApplicationName extends Application {
  @Override
  public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();

    Parse.enableLocalDatastore(this);
    Parse.initialize(this, "PARSE_APPLICATION_ID", "PARSE_CLIENT_KEY");
  }
}

In the Manifest declare it like this

<application
    android:name="yourpackagename.YourApplicationName"
.
.
.

Or if you want to use your approach and call it in every Activity, you will have to use getApplicationContext() instead of this.
