IllegalAccessException in Android Studio where target android is 4.4

Question

In my android project, I had originally targeted Android 6 and it all ran OK.

Now I'm running it on a Android 4.4 device (both a real device and an AVD) it crashes with an IllegalAccessException.

This is where it's crashing

    this.PractitionerList.add(new
            PractitionerItem(1, "01A1234E", "Mary", "1st", "London", "Y")

    );

PractitionerItem is a public class and PractitionerList is an arraylist declared like this

this.PractitionerList = new ArrayList();

This is the logcat....

This is the class....

public static final Creator<PractitionerItem> CREATOR = new Creator<PractitionerItem>() {

    @Override

public PractitionerItem(Integer PRN, String PIN, String Fname, String Lname, String Town, String YesNo){
    this.PRN = PRN;
    this.PIN = PIN;
    this.Fname = Fname;
    this.Lname = Lname;

}

..... and this (the main bits) from the class that calls it...

Public class SearchTheRegister extends AppCompatActivity {

private ArrayList<PractitionerItem> PractitionerList;

private CustomAdapter practitioner_adapter;
.

 //// THIS LINE IS WHERE IT FAILS /////////////// 
    this.PractitionerList.add(new
            PractitionerItem(1, "01A1234E", "Mary", "1st", "London", "Y")

    );

Any ideas?

Answer 1

You can try making Integer primitive.

Answer 2

I'm not sure if this'll fix your problem but i have similar issue and i realised my parcelable implementation is wrong. I re generated a parcelable implementation for you below:

    @Override
    public int describeContents() {
        return 0;
    }

    @Override
    public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) {
        dest.writeValue(this.PRN);
        dest.writeString(this.PIN);
        dest.writeString(this.Fname);
        dest.writeString(this.Lname);
        dest.writeString(this.Town);
        dest.writeString(this.YesNo);
    }

    public PractitionerItem() {
    }

    protected PractitionerItem(Parcel in) {
        this.PRN = (Integer) in.readValue(Integer.class.getClassLoader());
        this.PIN = in.readString();
        this.Fname = in.readString();
        this.Lname = in.readString();
        this.Town = in.readString();
        this.YesNo = in.readString();
    }

    public static final Creator<PractitionerItem> CREATOR = new Creator<PractitionerItem>() {
        @Override
        public PractitionerItem createFromParcel(Parcel source) {
            return new PractitionerItem(source);
        }

        @Override
        public PractitionerItem[] newArray(int size) {
            return new PractitionerItem[size];
        }
    };

If this won't work you can try to add MultiDex support to your app. There is a strange issue about Kitkat, ArrayList and Parcelable.

To add multidex support:

First change your gradle like below:

android {
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        multiDexEnabled true
        ...
    }
}

dependencies {
  ...
  compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
  ...

}

Second extend your Application from Multidex Application or call Multidex.init in OnCreate:

public class YourApplication extends MultiDexApplication
{
    ...
}

or

public class YourApplication extends Application
{
    protected void attachBaseContext(Context base)
    {
        super.attachBaseContext(base);
        MultiDex.install(this);
    }
}

If these solutions don't work please let me know and let us try to figure out a new fix.

Good luck.
