Crash when the app is force killed

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying out this library and it is often raising this exception when the app gets force killed:

The job gets scheduled inside my Application class so that it runs every time the app starts (after checking that the job isn’t already scheduled).

Update: I’m also seeing a constant stream of errors after killing the app:

E/JobServiceContext: Time-out while trying to bind com.tattva.app/com.evernote.android.job.v21.PlatformJobService jId=6, u0, dropping.

You need to call JobManager.create() asap in the onCreate() method. The reason is that your app may be launched because of a scheduled job. This job needs to be initialized and for that purpose it needs the have access to the JobManager. In your case the manager isn’t created, yet, because you do this asynchronously.
