# Meridian SDK multiprocess bug reproduction sample
This repository demonstrates an issue with [Meridian Android SDK](https://docs.meridianapps.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039670134-The-Android-SDK-Guide) version `10.2.0`,
where Activity in non-default process is unable to use `MeridianLocationManager` to observe location, due to the crash when location listening is started:
```stacktrace
java.lang.ClassCastException: android.os.BinderProxy cannot be cast to com.arubanetworks.meridian.location.MeridianLocationService$LocationManagerBinder
at com.arubanetworks.meridian.location.MeridianLocationManager$b.onServiceConnected(Unknown Source:8)
at android.app.LoadedApk$ServiceDispatcher.doConnected(LoadedApk.java:2198)
at android.app.LoadedApk$ServiceDispatcher$RunConnection.run(LoadedApk.java:2231)

at com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(RuntimeInit.java:552)
at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:971)
```
This crash happens for all activities which explicitly specify `android:process` in `AndroidManifest.xml`.
### Sample project setup
Create a `secrets.properties` file with your Meridian Editor credentials:
```properties
MERIDIAN_APP_ID=****
MERIDIAN_EDITOR_TOKEN=****
```
### Repro steps
In this sample project, the `SecondaryActivity` is configured to be launched in non-default process.
The app is configured to observe simulated location from Meridian Editor.
1. Launch the app -> App opens `MainActivity` in default process.
2. Optional: Start observing location in this Activity -> No crash happens.
3. Click "New process" button -> The `SecondaryActivity` in non-default process is launched.
4. Click on "Start listening for location" -> Observe mentioned crash 👆
**Alternative:**
1. In `AndroidManifest.xml`, explicitly configure `MainActivity`'s process.
2. Start observing location in this activity -> Observe crash.
