FlowManager not initialized while init method called.

[goto1134]

I did everything according to the guide: the libraries, the application onCreate method. I've got this error when running the app:

FATAL EXCEPTION: main

DBFlow:4.0.2
Gradle:2.3.2

Application class is added to manifest.

public class App extends Application {

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        PrefManager.newInstance(this);
        FlowManager.init(this);
    }
}

I found the solution!!! it was all about proguard rules. Please, write about it on the main page. It should be more noticable.

[agrosner]

It has its own section on the documentation website....https://agrosner.gitbooks.io/dbflow/content/proguard.html

I was receiving the throwable The global database holder is not initialized. Ensure you call FlowManager.init() before accessing the database. I added this line -keep class * extends com.raizlabs.android.dbflow.config.DatabaseHolder { *; } to my proguard-rules.pro

1. I have the initialization in my Application class.

FlowManager.init(new FlowConfig.Builder(this).build());

2. I setup my Database.

@Database(name = DoorDashDb.NAME, version = DoorDashDb.VERSION)
public class DoorDashDb extends BaseModel {
    public static final String NAME = "DoorDashDb";
    public static final int VERSION = 1;
}

3. I created my Table.

@Table(database = DoorDashDb.class)
public class Restaurant extends BaseModel implements Parcelable {
    @Column
    @PrimaryKey
    private int id;

    @Column
    private String name;
...

Because I'm using Kotlin I switched annotationProcessor "com.github.Raizlabs.DBFlow:dbflow-processor:${dbflow_version}" to use kapt and it fixed it.

I am having the same issue:
My application class contains:
FlowManager.init(new FlowConfig.Builder(applicationContext) .openDatabasesOnInit(true) .build()); FlowLog.setMinimumLoggingLevel(FlowLog.Level.V);

My database:
@Database(name = PagerDatabase.NAME, version = PagerDatabase.VERSION) public class PagerDatabase { public static final String NAME = "PagerDatabase"; public static final int VERSION = 1; }

My table:
@Table(database = PagerDatabase.class) public class PagerContact extends BaseModel{ @Column @SerializedName("id") @Expose private Long id; @Column @PrimaryKey @SerializedName("account_id") @Expose private Long accountId; ........

I added the following to proguard:
-keep class * extends com.raizlabs.android.dbflow.config.DatabaseHolder { *; } -keep class net.sqlcipher.** { *; } -dontwarn net.sqlcipher.**

When I try to save any object, it gives me:
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The global database holder is not initialized. Ensure you call FlowManager.init() before accessing the database.
Is there anything I am missing? Thanks beforehand.

I'm encountering this issue also.
I have the proguard rules updated like in the documentation, but it is not working.
If I disabled the minification process the app works, thus I suspect the proguard rules to affect the app.

LE: It seems I was misusing some proguard files and I wasn't loading the correct rules for this library.
Seems to work correctly now. Thank you and keep up the good work.

I was having the same issue, using Kotlin. Finally discovered the reason, and it was due to the annotation processor. I didn't add the

apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'

in my app/build.gradle, so the database creation was not taking effect by the annotation processor. Similar to #1507.

It works fine now, if someone wants to get the code, it is here, (note the add_dbflow branch)
