Push key is null

[Hannah R]

Hello,

I have the following issue:
In Android 7.0, when getting Push.getPushKey()  (not in registeredForPush() method) the first time, it's null.
I have callSerially(() -> registerPush());

in my start() method and
besides that, I added 
  if (!Preferences.get("setIt", false)) {
        Display.getInstance().registerPush();
        Preferences.set("setIt", true);
  }
into my pushRegistrationError(String error, int errorCode).

If I kill the app, then open and call Push.getPushKey() the second time, it gives me a valid id. 

I put a log to test what is inside of the registeredForPush(String deviceId) method, and it seems to work correctly - the devicePush is not null and shows the id.(devicePush = Push.getPushKey();) 

This happens only in Android 7, Android 10 and Android 8 devices register push successfully from the first call. 

Thank you.

Have you tried delaying getting the token a bit? CN1's native code does this thing where it tries to get the token once and then if not available it waits a few secs and tries again

Something along these lines: (hope I don't confuse you more than help you) https://gist.github.com/javieranton-zz/821455be02cf9e899b98f609152e99d4

You need to call register for push every time the app loads. Not just the first time. So even if it fails the first time the app loads it should work the second time.

Thank you for your responses.

You need to call register for push every time the app loads - It does register every time, at least that what I can see from logs. The registeredForPush() method is called and it shows me the push key in the logs every time I launch the app. However, when I try to use the push key later in my code (sending it in ConnectionRequest to the backend), it doesn't work (the Push.getPushKey() is null), unless I call the  registeredForPush() method again (which I do by reopening the app).
I want to make sure that it's working after the first loading of the app.

You have this: if (!Preferences.get("setIt", false)) which indicates you don't call it every time.

However, Push.getPushKey() should work and never turn back to null unless you wipe something from storage/preferences. Is there some other code that encrypts, wipes, logs out etc?

I saw in the other thread you use preferences.clearAll(). That would pretty much explain your problem...
