Android > Error: Session initialization already happened > No deeplink referringParams #50
Description
Problem
When sending a push notification (in this case via Braze) which hold a deep link on click, if the app in the background, it only opens the application but does not hold any of the referringParams data and shows an error of:
"Warning. Session initialization already happened. To force a new session, set intent extra, "branch_force_new_session", to true."
If you leave the app to go back into background, then foreground it again, it suddenly has the branch data within the object and works as intended. It is on the first push click and app open (if the app has already been opened and is in the background) that it is empty and fails.

registerPlugin(Contacts.class);
registerPlugin(NativeBiometric.class);
registerPlugin(BranchDeepLinks.class);
}
@Override
protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
// super.onNewIntent(intent);
// this.setIntent(intent);
this.setIntent(intent);
super.onNewIntent(intent);
// handles warning:"session initialization already happened"
if(intent != null) {
intent.putExtra("branch_force_new_session", true);
}
}
}
- CustomApplicationClass.java
public class CustomApplicationClass extends MultiDexApplication {
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
// Branch logging for debugging
Branch.enableLogging();
if (SDK_INT >= 24) {
UserManager um = getApplicationContext().getSystemService(UserManager.class);
if (um == null || !um.isUserUnlocked()) return;
}
// Branch object initialization
Branch.getAutoInstance(this);
}
@Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
super.attachBaseContext(base);
MultiDex.install(this);
}
}
