AOSP -- WindowManager: No home screen found for Intent

Products Support DragonBoard 820c

I’m trying to bring my work up to date with the current master branch of AOSP, and I’m running into the following error, which is somewhat perplexing since there don’t seem to be any significant results on any search engines.

10-07 23:54:22.136   557  1184 E WindowManager: No home screen found for Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.HOME] flg=0x100 }

The error comes from here; services/core/java/com/android/server/wm/RootWindowContainer.java - platform/frameworks/base - Git at Google

Anyone have any ideas? Maybe @jstultz ?

Sorry, I don’t right off. From a brief look at it, it seems like the code is looking for a package that it isn’t finding. You might want to compare the product packages lists from cuttlefish or db845c/hikey960?

Maybe check etc/permissions/android.software.xml to ensure you’ve got the line:

    <feature name="android.software.home_screen" />

Thanks. I think that helped!

Something strange is definitely going on. I do have that line, but I get this interesting situation;

db820c:/ # pm query-activities --brief -a android.intent.action.MAIN -c android.intent.category.HOME
No activities found
db820c:/ #

So its not picking up the launcher, which is installed.

New Android versions are always lots of fun :slight_smile:

In case anybody runs into this, it’s probably only going to show up with automotive builds. I managed to find some time to track this down, turned out that a non-automotive build worked perfectly first try.

The issue came down to this file added to the automotive emulator tree: common/preinstalled-packages-product-car-emulator.xml - device/generic/car - Git at Google

Seems to be some kind of package whitelist, which wasn’t working properly. Removed the file and automotive build worked.
