The problem is when I tried to access to stored data when device is just started. BootReceiver fired when received <action android:name="android.intent.action.LOCKED_BOOT_COMPLETED" />, service started with success but after crashed with exception java.lang.IllegalStateException: SharedPreferences in credential encrypted storage are not available until after user is unlocked Root of cause is known, storage is crypted until user is not logged in. Accordingly to https://developer.android.com/training/articles/direct-boot should be created second context with decrypted storage. What I should do in this case? Is it required to write own Storage implementation?

Hi! Is any solution?

You should wait until user unlock or use device protected storage
