onReceive() in widget dosen't fired in api>26 [duplicate]

My widget app is running fine on all android version except 8 Oreo.
I get a W/BroadcastQueue: Background execution not allowed: receiving Intent message.
There is an interesting blog from CommonsWare but I don't fully understand why it applies to my case.
https://commonsware.com/blog/2017/04/11/android-o-implicit-broadcast-ban.html
My case looks pretty simple: I have a widget with a button and I want to change the text's button when it is clicked.
What is the right way to fix this issue?
TestWidget.java
public class TestWidget extends AppWidgetProvider {
private static RemoteViews views;
private static boolean buttonClicked = false;
public static final String ACTION_AUTO_UPDATE = "AUTO_UPDATE";
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
super.onReceive(context, intent);
if(intent.getAction().equals(ACTION_AUTO_UPDATE))
{
Log.i("TESTWID", "get onReceive");
}
}
static void updateAppWidget(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager,
int appWidgetId) {
views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.test_widget);
views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.wid_btn_tst, setButton(context));
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, views);
}
#Override
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {
Log.i("TESTWID", "onupdate ");
for (int appWidgetId : appWidgetIds) {
updateAppWidget(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetId);
}
}
public static PendingIntent setButton(Context context) {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction("TEST");
return PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
}
public static void pushWidgetUpdate(Context context, RemoteViews remoteViews) {
ComponentName myWidget = new ComponentName(context, TestWidget.class);
AppWidgetManager manager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context);
manager.updateAppWidget(myWidget, remoteViews);
}
}
TestWidgetReceiver.java
public class TestWidgetReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{
private static boolean isButtonON = false;
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.i("TESTWID", "onReceive "+intent.getAction());
if(intent.getAction().equals("TEST")){
updateWidgetButton(context, 2);
}
}
private void updateWidgetButton(Context context, int index) {
RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.test_widget);
if(index == 2) {
if(isButtonON) {
remoteViews.setTextViewText(R.id.wid_btn_tst, "Test Off");
isButtonON = false;
}
else{
remoteViews.setTextViewText(R.id.wid_btn_tst, "Test On");
isButtonON = true;
}
}
TestWidget.pushWidgetUpdate(context.getApplicationContext(), remoteViews);
}
}

It's subtle, but it is because of the implicit broadcast being used to trigger your TestWidgetReceiver. It is implicit because it is only specifying the action portion of the Intent. Make the broadcast Intent explicit by specifying the receiver class in the constructor:
public static PendingIntent setButton(Context context) {
Intent intent = new Intent(context, TestWidgetReceiver.class);
intent.setAction("TEST");
return PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
}

Things are changed now a days in Android. For the security & battery consumption google introduced so many ways & increased some problem for developers.
You haven't passed the Context of the TestWidgetReceiver.class to you intent.
You can do it like that in java
Intent intent = new Intent(context, TestWidgetReceiver.class);
or in kotlin
val intent = Intent(context, TestWidgetReceiver.class);

Android widget's onUpdate() method calls before the ConfigurationActivity

Android widget's onUpdate() method calls before the ConfigurationActivity and so I receive black screen instead of config screen.
Here is my code.
public class WidgetConfig extends Activity {
int widgetID = AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID;
Intent resultValue;
final String LOG_TAG = "FlashLightLogs";
public final static String WIDGET_TEXT_ENABLED = "widget_text_enabled_";
public final static String WIDGET_HAS_FLASH = "widget_has_flash_";
public final static String WIDGET_PREF = "widget_pref";
private boolean hasFlash;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState, PersistableBundle persistentState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState, persistentState);
Intent intent = getIntent();
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
if (extras != null) {
widgetID = extras.getInt(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID,
AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID);
}
if (widgetID == AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID) {
finish();
}
resultValue = new Intent();
resultValue.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, widgetID);
setResult(RESULT_CANCELED, resultValue);
setContentView(R.layout.widget_config);
}
public void onClick(View v) {
CheckBox showLabelCheckbox = (CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.widget_show_text_checkbox);
hasFlash = getApplicationContext().getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_CAMERA_FLASH);
SharedPreferences sp = getSharedPreferences(WIDGET_PREF, MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sp.edit();
editor.putBoolean(WIDGET_TEXT_ENABLED + widgetID, showLabelCheckbox.isChecked());
editor.putBoolean(WIDGET_HAS_FLASH + widgetID, hasFlash);
editor.commit();
setResult(RESULT_OK, resultValue);
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "finish config " + widgetID);
finish();
}
}
My manifest:

In my app_wifget.xml I wrote android:configure

When I try to add widget on the home screen -- I got the black screen and on debug I view that program calls widget's onUpdate.
public class MyProvider extends AppWidgetProvider {
RemoteViews switchButton;
private static boolean hasFlash;
final static String LOG_TAG = "FlashLightLogs";
#Override
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {

SharedPreferences sp = context.getSharedPreferences(
WidgetConfig.WIDGET_PREF, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
if(sp != null) {
for (int id : appWidgetIds) {
updateWidget(context, appWidgetManager, sp, id);
}
}
super.onUpdate(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetIds);
}
static void updateWidget(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager,
SharedPreferences sp, int widgetID) {
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "updateWidget " + widgetID);
hasFlash = sp.getBoolean(WidgetConfig.WIDGET_HAS_FLASH + widgetID, false);
if (!hasFlash) {
return;
}
boolean showLabel = sp.getBoolean(WidgetConfig.WIDGET_TEXT_ENABLED + widgetID, false);
// Widgets do not support ButtonInput directly so, we need to use RemoteViews.
RemoteViews switchButton = new RemoteViews(MainActivity.PACKAGE_NAME, R.layout.widget);
RemoteViews widgetLabel = new RemoteViews(MainActivity.PACKAGE_NAME, R.id.editText);
if(!showLabel) {
widgetLabel.setTextViewText(R.id.editText, "");
}
// Setting FlashlightAppWidgetReceiver as receiver.
Intent intent = new Intent(context, FlashlightAppWidgetReceiver.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, 0);
//Add listener to button.
switchButton.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.widget_button, pendingIntent);
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(widgetID, switchButton);
}
}

Why does android device administration not work properly

I am setting two buttons on the screen. Whenever I press the first button it will disable the camera. ( as an admin )
I have set manifest ;
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.example.firstapplication.MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<!-- This is where we register our receiver -->
<receiver
android:name=".DemoDeviceAdminReceiver"
android:permission="android.permission.BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN" >
<intent-filter>
<!-- This action is required -->
<action android:name="android.app.action.DEVICE_ADMIN_ENABLED" />
</intent-filter>
<!-- This is required this receiver to become device admin component. -->
<meta-data
android:name="android.app.device_admin"
android:resource="#xml/device_admin_sample" />
</receiver>
</application>
I have wrote code as ;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
static final int ACTIVATION_REQUEST = 47; // identifies our request id
DevicePolicyManager devicePolicyManager;
ComponentName demoDeviceAdmin;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// ...
// Initialize Device Policy Manager service and our receiver class
devicePolicyManager = (DevicePolicyManager)getSystemService(Context.DEVICE_POLICY_SERVICE);
demoDeviceAdmin = new ComponentName(this, DemoDeviceAdminReceiver.class);
}
/* begin, camera management block */
static boolean click = false ;

stopCamera();
click = false ;
}
activate () ; // activate device policy manager
}
};
private void startCamera(){
if(getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_CAMERA)){
camera.unlock();
} else {
;
}
}
#SuppressLint("NewApi") private void stopCamera(){
devicePolicyManager. setCameraDisabled(demoDeviceAdmin, true);
}
/* end, camera management block */
private OnClickListener closeApplication = new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
finish ();
}
};
void initializeDPM ( ) {
if (!devicePolicyManager.isAdminActive(demoDeviceAdmin)) {
Intent intent = new Intent(DevicePolicyManager.ACTION_ADD_DEVICE_ADMIN);
intent.putExtra(DevicePolicyManager.EXTRA_DEVICE_ADMIN,
demoDeviceAdmin);
intent.putExtra(DevicePolicyManager.EXTRA_ADD_EXPLANATION,
"Additional text explaining why this needs to be added.");
startActivityForResult(intent, ACTIVATION_REQUEST);
} else {
devicePolicyManager.lockNow();
}
}
public void activate ( ) {
// Activate device administration
Intent intent = new Intent(
DevicePolicyManager.ACTION_ADD_DEVICE_ADMIN);
intent.putExtra(DevicePolicyManager.EXTRA_DEVICE_ADMIN,
demoDeviceAdmin);
intent.putExtra(DevicePolicyManager.EXTRA_ADD_EXPLANATION,
"told me to do this");
startActivityForResult(intent, ACTIVATION_REQUEST);
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
switch (requestCode) {
case ACTIVATION_REQUEST:
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
// Has become the device administrator.
} else {
//Canceled or failed.
}
return;
}
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}
}
My admin class
public class DemoDeviceAdminReceiver extends DeviceAdminReceiver{
#Override
public void onEnabled(Context context, Intent intent) {
super.onEnabled(context, intent);
}
#Override
public void onDisabled(Context context, Intent intent) {
super.onDisabled(context, intent);
}
}
my device_admin_sample is;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<device-admin xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<uses-policies>
<limit-password />
<watch-login />
<reset-password />
<force-lock />
<wipe-data />
<expire-password />
<encrypted-storage />
<disable-camera />
</uses-policies>
</device-admin>
</LinearLayout>
Why I could not close the camera as an admin ?

cant pass widget id to configuration activity

I wrote an AppWidget that has a configuration activity(I used the same configuration activity of the app itself)
When adding the Widget to the home screen while on debug mode I pass the widget id(using put extra) to the intent. when clicking on the widget itself(to load the prefs' activity I break at the onCreate method, at the parts where I'm calling intent.getExtras or intent.getIntExtra - I get null.
I wanted to use the following code but couldn;t understand how:
passing-widget-id-to-activity:
The issue was that android does caching with PendingIntents. The solution was to add the FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT flag which causes it to update the cached PendingIntent.
PendingIntent configPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, REQUEST_CODE_ONE, configIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
here is my code:

I needed to change the next thing:

PendingIntent runtestPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, runConfigtest, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
now it works

Android Widget Click and Broadcast Receiver Not Working

The below code should describe an app where once the widget button is clicked, it sends off an intent that should be received by TestReceiver. However, in running my below code, the onReceive of TestReceiver is never called.
Could someone let me know what I'm doing wrong?
Widget code
public class Widget extends AppWidgetProvider {
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {
final int N = appWidgetIds.length;
// Perform this loop procedure for each App Widget that belongs to this provider
for (int i=0; i<N; i++) {
int appWidgetId = appWidgetIds[i];
// Create an Intent to launch ExampleActivity
//Intent intent = new Intent(context.getApplicationContext(), TestReceiver.class);
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(TestReceiver.TEST_INTENT);
intent.setClassName(TestReceiver.class.getPackage().getName(), TestReceiver.class.getName());
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context.getApplicationContext(), 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
// Get the layout for the App Widget and attach an on-click listener to the button
RemoteViews views;
views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.main);
views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.btnTest, pendingIntent);
// Tell the AppWidgetManager to perform an update on the current App Widget
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, views);
}
}
}
Receiver Code:
public class TestReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
public static final String TEST_INTENT= "MyTestIntent";
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Toast.makeText(context, "Test", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
if(intent.getAction()==TEST_INTENT)
{
System.out.println("GOT THE INTENT");
Toast.makeText(context, "Test", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
}
}
}
Manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.test.intenttest"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">

<receiver android:name=".TestReceiver" android:label="#string/app_name">

</intent-filter>

</receiver>
</application>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" />
</manifest>

It probably works, but you forgot to add .show() at the end of your Toast :)

== tests for reference equality (whether they are the same object).
.equals() tests for value equality (whether they are logically "equal").
String values are compared using '==' not 'equals'
This "if(intent.getAction()==TEST_INTENT)" change this "if(intent.getAction().equals(TEST_INTENT))"
and of course Toast.makeText(context, "Test", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
All code:
package *********;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class TestReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
public static final String TEST_INTENT= "MyTestIntent";
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Toast.makeText(context, "Test holaaa", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
if(intent.getAction() == TEST_INTENT)
// if(intent.getAction().equals(TEST_INTENT))
{
System.out.println("GOT THE INTENT");
Toast.makeText(context, "Test Goooo", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
