My new BT 2.0 Android app was working fine. Then I added Parse push notifications and now my app crashes in a very repeatable way. I open my app, it runs OK. Then my phone goes to sleep and when it wakes, I see 'The application has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again', with a button to 'Force Close'. Push notifications are received in the notification area, as I would have expected.

I went step by step to add the parse.com additions and tested each step; all was good until the last step, when I added the last bit of code to the bottom of the manifest file. I'm not great at Android, but if anyone has an idea (please), I'm listening!

Following because I had the same experience when I was trying to integrate Parse for somebody, and I didn't have time to pursue.

Hi @GoNorthWest, if you are interested in some detail, I can send you an email with a pdf step by step of what I did, if you'd like to try it for yourself. I have previously added parse to a 1.5 BT Android app and it seems fine.

I think it might be the same PDF that I was working from, but please send it anyway, just in case! I know it works, because a number of people have it implemented, but no matter what I tried, the app always crashed. MrkFleming at gmail dot com Thanks!

The fact that it crashes for you makes me feel better! Email on its way Alan

Well, I made some progress, more by luck than judgement. The problem is in a line in the manifest (that Parse.com say should be added) <action android:name="android.intent.action.USER_PRESENT" /> If I comment out this one line of code, all is good, the apps stops crashing and the push still works. I have no idea why! I asked the Parse support, they couldn't explain why this worked and suggested "best guess is that the USER_PRESENT action is munged with by buzztouch in some way" Still, at least my app works! Alan

Very weird! I'll have to investigate that action and see if I can understand what the impact might be. But the good thing is you got it working...great job! Mark
