I know this was asked already many times but I can't get this to work. I looked all around Android docs and other sources. I got this activity that has a broadcast receiver variable inside and starts a service as such in the constructor:
private BroadcastReceiver mReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Received", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
};
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_compass);
Intent mIntent = new Intent(this, GPSTracker.class);
startService(mIntent);
}
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
registerReceiver(mReceiver, new IntentFilter());
}
#Override
protected void onStop() {
unregisterReceiver(mReceiver);
super.onStop();
}
I put the service down in the manifest and I am sure it works properly. Any help will be appreciated.
Broadcast receiver is supposed to receive 2 floats from the service periodically.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="jemboy.compass" >
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".OtherActivity"></activity>
</application>
In the activity
private BroadcastReceiver broadcastReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction().equals(UPDATE_PLAYER)) {
updateMediaPlayerToggle();
} else if (intent.getAction().equals(BUFFERING)) {
showMediaPlayerBuffering();
}
}
};
private void registerBroadcastReceiver() {
LocalBroadcastManager broadcastManager = LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this);
IntentFilter updateIntentFilter = new IntentFilter();
updateIntentFilter.addAction(UPDATE_PLAYER);
updateIntentFilter.addAction(BUFFERING);
broadcastManager.registerReceiver(broadcastReceiver, updateIntentFilter);
}
in the service.
private void sendUpdatePlayerIntent() {
Log.d(TAG, "updatePlayerIntent");
Intent updatePlayerIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.UPDATE_PLAYER);
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).sendBroadcast(updatePlayerIntent);
}

I am trying to broadcast from bc_from to bc_to.
It works fine if I use in Activity bc_to:
registerReceiver(receiver, filter);
It does not work if I define the receiver in the Manifest.
I understand from the docs that since 26 it may be impossible.
So I am looking for any solution that will reach Activity bc_to even if it not running.
Thanks
// package com.yotam17.ori.bc_from;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private static final String BC_ACTION = "com.yotam17.ori.bc.Broadcast";
private void send() {
Intent intent = new Intent(BC_ACTION);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_INCLUDE_STOPPED_PACKAGES);
sendBroadcast(intent);
}
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
send();
}
}
And the code for bc_from containes Manifest and two clases:
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<receiver android:name="com.yotam17.ori.bc_to.MyReceiver" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.yotam17.ori.bc.Broadcast"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.NoActionBar">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
// package com.yotam17.ori.bc_to;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private static final String BC_ACTION = "com.yotam17.ori.bc.Broadcast";
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Register MyReceiver
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(BC_ACTION);
MyReceiver receiver = new MyReceiver();
registerReceiver(receiver, filter); //<<<<<< Does not work w/o this
}
}
public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Got it!!!" , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
Thanks!
setComponent() solved it.
I never used setComponent() before but found a detailed example here.
To make it a working example - here is the modified send() code:
private void send() {
Intent intent = new Intent(BC_ACTION);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_INCLUDE_STOPPED_PACKAGES);
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.yotam17.ori.bc_to","com.yotam17.ori.bc_to.MyReceiver"));
sendBroadcast(intent);
}
My Manifest.xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<application
android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication"
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<receiver android:name=".MyBroadCastRecieverInternet">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
Its my Service code block.
public class MyBroadCastRecieverInternet extends BroadcastReceiver {
public void onReceive(final Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.d("MyLog","Internet Reciever is on");
}
}
Is there any mistake? I didn't find anything. It doesn't work and I don't know why.
From docs:
Apps targeting Android 7.0 (API level 24) and higher do not receive
CONNECTIVITY_ACTION broadcasts if they declare their broadcast
receiver in the manifest. Apps will still receive CONNECTIVITY_ACTION
broadcasts if they register their BroadcastReceiver with
Context.registerReceiver() and that context is still valid.
CONNECTIVITY_ACTION = "android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE";
You can downgrade your targetSdk to 23 or use dynamic broadcast receiver like this:
public class ConnectivityReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
boolean isConnected = ConnectionManager.isConnectedToInternet(context);
if (!isConnected) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Connected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
MainActivity:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private Context mContext = this;
private ConnectivityReceiver mConnectivityReceiver;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mConnectivityReceiver = new ConnectivityReceiver();
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
registerReceiver(mConnectivityReceiver, new IntentFilter(
ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION
));
}
#Override
protected void onPause() {
unregisterReceiver(mConnectivityReceiver);
super.onPause();
}
}
You may try this approach. You don't need to make a whole new class for your broadcast receiver but you can use it inside your Main Activity like this:
BroadcastReceiver receiveLocationReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// Your custom action
}
};
IntentFilter receiveLocationFilter = new IntentFilter();
receiveLocationFilter.addAction("android.intent.RECEIVE_LOCATION");
Register the receiver in onStart:
registerReceiver(receiveLocationReceiver, receiveLocationFilter);
Unregister it in onStop:
unregisterReceiver(receiveLocationReceiver);
Then when you need to send the broadcast all you need is :
Intent sendBroadcastIntent = new Intent("android.intent.RECEIVE_LOCATION");
sendBroadcast(sendBroadcastIntent);
Why my broadcast is not received in this code ?
I post my code below. When I run this, I can see sender broadcast intent.
But there is no response at receiver side.
I have tested on lollipop AVD.
Receiver Manifest
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="kr.co.company.mybroadcastreceiver" >
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<receiver android:name=".MyBroadcastReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="kr.co.company.START_WEB" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
</manifest>
Receiver Code
public class MyBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://www.google.com");
Intent intent1 = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
intent1.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(intent1 );
}
}
Sender Code
public class MyBroadcastSender extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_my_broadcast_sender);
Button click = (Button) findViewById(R.id.click);
click.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction("kr.co.company.START_WEB");
sendBroadcast(intent);
}
});
}
}
If another application is sending the intent, you should add this to the receiver definition in the manifest:
android:exported="true"
I have read the instructions and examples in SO questions, but still unable to implement a simple BroadcastReceiver, it simply does not receive anything, can someone kindly provide some advice on the following code?
tnx
My activity:
public class Receiver1Activity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(MyService.MY_ACTION);
registerReceiver(new MyReceiver(), filter);
Intent intent = new Intent();
startService(intent);
}
}
My receiver:
public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) {
Log.i("MyReceiver", "onreceive");
}
}
My service, which sends the broadcast:
public class MyService extends Service {
public static final String MY_ACTION = "com.receiver1.myaction";
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
Intent intent2 = new Intent(MY_ACTION);
sendBroadcast(intent2);
return START_NOT_STICKY;
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
}
My manifest file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.receiver1"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="10" />
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<activity
android:name=".Receiver1Activity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<service android:name=".MyService"></service>
</application>
</manifest>
Are you sure that your service is even getting started? It looks like your just creating a blank intent and calling startService().
Your broadcastReceiver appears to be correct.
You need to register your receiver in your AndroidManifest.xml. Until you do that, the Android OS won't be able to find your BroadcastReceiver.
i have problem with sending Broadcast receive from one activity to other ..its not working my code is below..pls refer to it ..
sending class is:
public class SendBroadcast extends Activity {
public static String BROADCAST_ACTION = "com.unitedcoders.android.broadcasttest.SHOWTOAST";
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button button1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
button1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
sendBroadcast();
}
});
}
public void sendBroadcast(){
Intent broadcast = new Intent();
broadcast.setAction("com.unitedcoders.android.broadcasttest.SHOWTOAST");
sendBroadcast(broadcast);
}
}
and reciving class is :
public class ToastDisplay extends Activity {
private BroadcastReceiver receiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.i("asdasd","sdasdasd");
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "%%%%%%%%%%%%received", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
};
#Override
protected void onResume() {
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
filter.addAction(SendBroadcast.BROADCAST_ACTION);
registerReceiver(receiver, filter);
super.onResume();
}
#Override
protected void onPause() {
unregisterReceiver(receiver);
super.onPause();
}
}
Manifest file is ::::
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.unitedcoders.android.broadcasttest"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" />
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".SendBroadcast"
android:label="#string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".ToastDisplay">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.unitedcoders.android.broadcasttest.SHOWTOAST"> </action>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
you have not registered your Receiver in Manifest :registered as
<receiver android:name="receiver">
<intent-filter>
<action
android:name="com.unitedcoders.android.broadcasttest.SHOWTOAST"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
