preferences = getSharedPreferences(MYPREF, 0);
editor = preferences.edit();
startService(new Intent(getBaseContext(), ScreenReceiver.class));
}
}
ScreenReceiver.class
public class ScreenReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
SharedPreferences preferences;
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
System.out.println(intent.getAction());
preferences = context.getSharedPreferences(MYPREF, 0);
if (preferences != null) {
String lock = preferences.getString(IS_SET, null);
if (lock != null) {
if (lock.equals("passcode")) {
gotopasslock(context, intent);
} else {
gotopatternlock(context, intent);
}
}
}

public void gotopasslock(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_USER_PRESENT)) {
Intent intent1 = new Intent(context, Main.class);
intent1.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

Intent Action is missing.
To make a android activity launch after reboot, add following line in
AndroidManifest.xml
STEP 1
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
Step 2:
<receiver
android:name=".receiver.ScreenReceiver"
android:label="ScreenReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>

NOTE:
try to do code cleanup

Why onReceive method isn't called when screen of my phone is off?

I was debugging my app and I have experienced an interesting issue. I had a breakpoint in my onReceive method and the program has stopped there only when screen of my phone was turned on (awake).
Why is that?
If by any chance you would need my code:
private void gcmInit() {
mRegistrationProgressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.registrationProgressBar);
mRegistrationBroadcastReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
mRegistrationProgressBar.setVisibility(ProgressBar.GONE);
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences =
PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);
boolean sentToken = sharedPreferences
.getBoolean(QuickstartPreferences.SENT_TOKEN_TO_SERVER, false);
if (sentToken) {
// mInformationTextView.setText(getString(R.string.gcm_send_message));
} else {
// mInformationTextView.setText(getString(R.string.token_error_message));
}
}
};
if (checkPlayServices()) {
// Start IntentService to register this application with GCM.
Intent intent = new Intent(this, RegistrationIntentService.class);
startService(intent);
}
}
Plus I have also these 2 methods in my MainActivity:
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).registerReceiver(mRegistrationBroadcastReceiver,
new IntentFilter(QuickstartPreferences.REGISTRATION_COMPLETE));
}
#Override
protected void onPause() {
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).unregisterReceiver(mRegistrationBroadcastReceiver);
super.onPause();
}
My Manifest, where I register the receiver:
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<!-- GCM START -->

Broadcast Receiver not working for me

I have the AlarmMainActivity which broadcasts an intent at a time set by the alarm. And the receiver program AlarmReceiver should catch this intent and send a notification. From the log, I can see that the alarm is being set, but the receiver doesn't start and its not working. Can you look at my code below and please let me know why the BroadcastReceiver is not working. Thanks.
AlarmMainActivity:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_alarm_main);
Intent alertIntent = new Intent(this, AlarmReceiver.class);
final PendingIntent pendingIntent =
PendingIntent.getBroadcast
(this,1,alertIntent,PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
final Button alarmButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.alarm_button);
alarmButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Long alertTime = new
GregorianCalendar().getTimeInMillis()+5*1000;
Log.i(TAG,"Alarm will be sent at : "+ alertTime.toString());
AlarmManager am =
(AlarmManager)getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,alertTime,pendingIntent );
Log.i(TAG, "Alarm is now set");
}
});
}//oncreate
AlarmReceiver:
public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{
private static final String TAG = "AlarmReceiver";
private String msgTitle, msgText, msgTicker;
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.i(TAG, "Entered AlarmReceiver()");
msgTitle = "Todays Weather";
msgText = "Its Sunny and Warm";
msgTicker="Alert";
PendingIntent notifyIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context,0, new
Intent(context, AlarmMainActivity.class),0);
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new
NotificationCompat.Builder(context).
setSmallIcon(R.drawable.weather_image).
setTicker(msgTicker).
setContentTitle(msgTitle).
setContentText(msgText).
setDefaults(NotificationCompat.DEFAULT_SOUND).
setAutoCancel(true).
setContentIntent(notifyIntent);
NotificationManager notificationManager =
(NotificationManager)context.getSystemService
(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(1,mBuilder.build());
Log.i(TAG,"Notification Sent");
}
AndroidManifest:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Remove the <receiver /> tag out of the <activity /> tag like :

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

<receiver android:name="com.thirdlaw.alertalarm.AlarmReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="MY_ACTION_STRING"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>

Foreground service doesn't start at boot time

I am trying to start a foreground service at boot time, but it never starts, however If i try to start a normal background service. It starts perfectly fine.
Can you please let me what is wrong with my code ?
My code is:
Manifest file:
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<receiver android:name="com.test.andsrvfg.AndSrvFgService">

</receiver>
<service android:name="AndSrvFgService">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.test.andsrvfg.AndSrvFgService"></action>
</intent-filter>
</service>
</application>
BroadcastReceiver to handle ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED:
public class AndSrvFgStarter extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED)) {
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction("com.test.andsrvfg.AndSrvFgService");
context.startService(i);
}
}
}
The actual service is like:
public class AndSrvFgService extends Service {
private boolean bForeground = false;
public AndSrvFgService() {
}
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
if(!bForeground) {
bForeground = true;
Notification note = new Notification( 0, null, System.currentTimeMillis() );
note.flags |= Notification.FLAG_NO_CLEAR;
startForeground( 1242, note );
}
return START_STICKY;
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
if(bForeground) {
stopForeground(true);
}
}

This code works for me:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.dfsdf"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="15" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_main" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name="com.google.ads.AdActivity"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"/>
<service android:name=".MyService"/>
<receiver android:enabled="true"
android:name=".BootUpReceiver"
android:permission="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED">
<intent-filter >
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
</manifest>
Put this in the receiver:
android:permission="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"
Set enable to true:
android:enabled="true"
