Android 14 flag mutable

Question

I'm working to support android 14 in a certain app, i'm having one issue with android native share sheet, since we have a pending intent with FLAG_MUTABLE, i'm getting this error

2023-10-16 14:23:20.368 10001-10001 com.package.x.android.shopping E java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.package.x.android.shop/com.package.x.NativeShareActivity}: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: com.package.x.android.shop: Targeting U+ (version 34 and above) disallows creating or retrieving a PendingIntent with FLAG_MUTABLE, an implicit Intent within and without FLAG_NO_CREATE and FLAG_ALLOW_UNSAFE_IMPLICIT_INTENT for security reasons. To retrieve an already existing PendingIntent, use FLAG_NO_CREATE, however, to create a new PendingIntent with an implicit Intent use FLAG_IMMUTABLE.

Based on android 14 documentation, it's not possible anymore to use flag_mutable pendingIntent for security reasons, and changing the pending intent to FLAG_IMMUTABLE will prevent us from getting the shared channel choosed by customer, is there a way to use flag*_immutable and still be able to get the share channel choosed by customer.

I have tried to change the intent type to explicit, however i'm not sure what should be the component name in this case.

Thanks.

Answer 1

The component name is given in the error message:

com.package.x.android.shop/com.package.x.NativeShareActivity

To make the Intent explicit, you should only need to set the package name to com.package.x.android.shop.
