The file system on the device is in a bad state. WorkManager cannot access the app's internal data store

Question

When I added work manager library to android studio and run the app it crashes with this error:

E/SQLiteLog: (14) cannot open file at line 37816 of [c255889bd9]
    (14) os_unix.c:37816: (13) lstat(/data/user/0/com.example/no_backup/androidx.work.workdb) -

This is the library i added:

implementation "androidx.work:work-runtime-ktx:2.4.0"

When I remove this library it works again. I don't know if the problem with the device or the app.

Did you check this? #61910897 – Antiworld

@CarsonHolzheimer I created a new project to test this, i didn't add any code to the project. – Mclin

Getting same crash in only one device. App is not getting open. @Mclin Have you got any solution? – Trod

Answer 1

I managed to fix this issue by adding this to AndroidManifest.xml:

 <provider
    android:name="androidx.startup.InitializationProvider"
    android:authorities="${applicationId}.androidx-startup"
    android:exported="false"
    tools:node="merge">
    <!-- If you are using androidx.startup to initialize other components -->
    <meta-data
        android:name="androidx.work.WorkManagerInitializer"
        android:value="androidx.startup"
        tools:node="remove" />
 </provider>

I got this from the documentation here: https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/workmanager/advanced/custom-configuration

It seems this solution is not enough to fix it. This is done on the AndroidManifest in my project, but we have the same issue here. – Strohben

Please update to androidx work to 2.8.1 developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/work#2.8.1 – Aemia

Answer 2

Just change Workmanager initilization in Application class by following code

val configuration: androidx.work.Configuration = androidx.work.Configuration.Builder().build()
        configuration.initializationExceptionHandler.let {
            this.deleteDatabase(WorkManagerImpl::class.java.simpleName)
            this.getSharedPreferences(WorkManagerImpl::class.java.simpleName, Context.MODE_PRIVATE)
                ?.edit()?.clear()?.apply()
            this.let { WorkManager.initialize(it, androidx.work.Configuration.Builder().build()) }
        }
