android.app.Application cannot be cast to my application

Question

I have few percent crashes when application from start points (launch activity, receivers) cannot be cast to my application.

My launch activity:

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        (application as MyApp)
        ...
    }

My app extends MultiDexApplication:

public class MyApp extends MultiDexApplication {
...

Crash log:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: android.app.Application cannot be cast to com.my.myapp.MyApp

I spent a lot of time looking for this problem, but could not find a solution. I think it's trouble in android sdk.

p.s. I have name tag on manifest file

Answer 1

Do this in your Manifest file

<application
        android:name="your.Packagename.CpuSpyApp"
