Description

In OrbotHelper.requestOrbotStart you can not send the intent for Orbot to start outside of an Activity (from say an Application). If you add the flag, FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK it works.

02-15 18:03:50.621: E/AndroidRuntime(24501): android.util.AndroidRuntimeException: Calling startActivity() from outside of an Activity context requires the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag. Is this really what you want?

Intent intent = new Intent(URI_ORBOT);
intent.setAction(ACTION_START_TOR);
**intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
mContext.startActivity(intent);

This is what you want in a Service:

Intent intent = new Intent(OrbotHelper.ACTION_START_TOR);
intent.setPackage(OrbotHelper.ORBOT_PACKAGE_NAME);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
mContext.startActivity(intent);
