custom android.app.Application not firing onCreate event

Question

I'm deriving a custom application from android.app.Application and I can't get its onCreate event being fired. Here's the implementation

import android.app.Application;  public class MyApplication extends Application {      public MyApplication() {         super();     }      @Override     public void onCreate() {         super.onCreate();     } } 

And here's how I'm using it:

MyApplication ctrl = new MyApplication(); 

Answer 1

Add following in your AndroidManifest.xml

<application     android:name="MyApplication"     android:debuggable="true"     android:icon="@drawable/icon"     android:label="@string/app_name"> </application> 

then your onCreate() will get fired.

I had this issue and found that in my case that the whole issue was phone side. I rebooted the phone and that fixed the issue.
