Nativescript + Angular - Unable to instantiate receiver … Didn't find class

Question

I am working on an application where I want to register a new broadcast receiver. However, when the intent is triggered the application is not able to find the receiver class and fails with the below error:

System.err: Unable to instantiate receiver org.nativescript.ntngcallerid.PhoneCallReceiver: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "org.nativescript.ntngcallerid.PhoneCallReceiver" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/org.nativescript.ntngcallerid-1v-8qMmEKBejsoEoL26_7Q==/base.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/app/org.nativescript.ntngcallerid-1v-8qMmEKBejsoEoL26_7Q==/lib/x86, /data/app/org.nativescript.ntngcallerid-1v-8qMmEKBejsoEoL26_7Q==/base.apk!/lib/x86, /system/lib, /system/product/lib]]

Phone call receiver class:

import * as Toast from "nativescript-toast";

declare var android: any;

@JavaProxy("com.tns.PhoneCallReceiver")
export class PhoneCallReceiver extends android.content.BroadcastReceiver {

    constructor() {
        super();

        return global.__native(this);
    }

    // @ts-ignore
    onReceive(context: android.content.Context, intent: android.content.Intent): void {
        // @ts-ignore

        console.log("Receiver start");
        Toast.makeText(" Receiver start ", "2000").show();
    }
}

Hi @Manoj , could you please provide an example of how it should be added in the Webpack? — Andrei Maimas

You will have to add an entry of the Broadcast Receiver in webpack.config.js

// Add your custom Activities, Services and other Android app components here.
const appComponents = [
      "tns-core-modules/ui/frame", 
      "tns-core-modules/ui/frame/activity",
      "path/to/phone-call-receiver.ts"
];
