I have a receiver class listening on several actions but it can not catch the android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED action. What I am doing wrong? here is my manifest file:
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<!--<receiver android:name=".OtherReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>-->
<receiver android:name="com.myApp.AppReceiver" android:permission="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_ADDED"/>
<action android:name="com.myApp.wifitimer"/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_REPLACED" />
<data android:scheme="package" android:path="com.myApp" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
as it can be seen I added the permission again inside the receiver and the name of the receiver gets the full name of the class as this answer suggests.
here is the broadcast receiver class:
#Override
public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) {
String action1 = arg1.getAction();
if(action1.equals(Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED)) {
Log.d("receiver","action is: boot");
}
if(action1.equals("android.intent.action.PACKAGE_REPLACED")) {
Log.d("receiver","action is: package");
}
}
When I run the app the receiver catches the android.intent.action.PACKAGE_REPLACED but when I restart the phone the receiver does not catch the BOOT_COMPLETED.
However when I comment in the .OtherReceiver in the Mainfest file it can catch it!
here is the code of this class:
public class OtherReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) {
String action = arg1.getAction();
if(action.equals(Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED)) {
Log.d("new receiver","action is: boot");
}
}
}
just the same as the other one. So my question is why I need define a separate receiver for the BOOT_COMPLETED action?
Edit: I also tried to send the action via adb according to this, and without any permission I could catch it with the AppReceiver class:
am broadcast -a android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED -c android.intent.category.HOME -n com.blubuk/.AppReciever
First, remove android:permission="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" from your <receiver> element.
Second, your <data> portion of your <intent-filter> is applying to all <action> elements within that <intent-filter>, which you do not want. There is no Uri on ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED.
However, rather than creating a separate <receiver> element, you could just create a separate <intent-filter> element on your original <receiver> element. Move your <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" /> to the new <intent-filter> (and perhaps that com.myApp.wifitimer one too), so that they are unaffected by the <data> of your first <intent-filter>.
Replace your Manifest with this and I am sure it will work. Placing android:permission in the receiver tag was incorrect.
<receiver
android:name="com.myApp.AppReceiver"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="false">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>

I have specified all the actions in my manifest.xml file. I am trying to catch them in my Broadcast receiver onReceive but I'm unable to see them.
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED.equals(intent.getAction())){
Toast.makeText(context,"Sample broadcast receiver boot completed",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
if (Intent.ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED.equals(intent.getAction())){
Toast.makeText(context,"power connected",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
if (Intent.ACTION_POWER_DISCONNECTED.equals(intent.getAction())){
Toast.makeText(context,"power disconnected",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
<receiver android:name=".MyBroadcastReceiver" android:enabled="true" android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
<action android:name="android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE"/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED"/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_POWER_DISCONNECTED"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
In order to receive a BOOT_COMPLETED intent in your application you should add this permission to your AndroidManifest.xml :
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
As described in Android SDK's documentation:
If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time.
You can learn more about that permission here: android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED
I'm trying to implement a receiver that reacts to Bluetooth devices being connected or disconnected. However, I only receive the broacasts when the application is open.
I've added the receiver to the manifest:
<receiver android:name=".BleReceiver"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.bluetooth.device.action.ACL_CONNECTED" />
<action android:name="android.bluetooth.device.action.ACL_DISCONNECTED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
And my receiver looks like this:
public class BleReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private static final String TAG = "BleReceiver";
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.d(TAG, "Got intent: " + intent.getAction());
}
}
This works just fine when the app is open, but if I eg. use the task switcher and swipe the activity, no broadcasts are received anymore.
The output of adb shell cmd package query-receivers --brief -a android.bluetooth.device.action.ACL_CONNECTED looks just fine:
Receiver #3:
priority=0 preferredOrder=0 match=0x108000 specificIndex=-1 isDefault=false
com.example.blelistenerapp/.service.ble.BleReceiver
Also, I checked the implicit broadcast exceptions, and these two actions are listed there.
Try
<receiver android:name=".BleReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.bluetooth.device.action.ACL_CONNECTED" />
<action android:name="android.bluetooth.device.action.ACL_DISCONNECTED" />
<action android:name="android.bluetooth.adapter.action.STATE_CHANGED"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
I am new to android .Is service in android is started automatically when the mobile is switch on??if yes that's great.if no can any one explain how can i start the particular service ??
No, service is not started automatically after device boot. but you can register an android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED for Starting Service when Device boot complete as:
AndroidManifest.xml :
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED">
</uses-permission>
<receiver android:name=".BootReceiver" android:label="#string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
BootReceiver.java :
public class BootReceiver extends IntentReceiver
{
static final String ACTION = "android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED";
public void onReceiveIntent(Context context, Intent intent)
{
if (intent.getAction().equals(ACTION))
{
context.startService(new Intent(context,YourService.class));
}
}
}
In user based application service does not start automatically
you need to add below code
<receiver android:name="com.wallpaper.StartReceiver" xmlns:android="#unknown">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
you better read something on Broadcast receiver from here
http://www.vogella.com/articles/AndroidBroadcastReceiver/article.html
A broadcast receiver is an Android component which allows to register for system or application events(in your case the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED)
As soon as the Android loads up it broadcast a message that the boot is completed and all the applications that are registered to receivce that event will receive it and you can do your stuff...
It can be done using this code below by adding it to the manifest file
<receiver android:name="some_pagacakge_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
here are some links for it
http://www.grokkingandroid.com/android-tutorial-broadcastreceiver/
you can start your service startService(intent)
To run it on Phone restart
add following permission in manifest file
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
and declared a Broadcast Receiver like
<receiver android:name=".BootReceiver"
android:label="BootReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"></action>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
and then
public class BootReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private static final String TAG="BootReceiver";
#Override public void onReceive(Context context,Intent intent){
try{
context.startService(new Intent(context,yourServiceName.class));
Log.i(TAG,"Starting Service yourServiceName");
}catch(Exception e){
Log.e(TAG,e.toString());
}
}
}
Its depends on your requirement what kind of service you want to start and when you want to start that service. if you want to start particular service on startup then you have to register the reciever as Devangi Desai has mentioned and then you need to issue the startService() method.
public class Receiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String intentAction = intent.getAction();
if (intentAction.equals(Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED))
context.startService(new Intent(context,
ConnectionService.class));
}
}
Here ConnectionService.class is class which extends a service and has the implementation of service.
They are not started automatically unless you explicitly define in the manifest that they should be started at boot time. To do this, you need to add the action
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
in your manifest file for your service.
example:
<receiver android:name="MyStartupIntentReceiver" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</receiver>

I am new to android. I get completely stuck in using ACTION_PACKAGE_RESTARTED in my application
I have removed pacakge from my emulator, also added using adb install but get nothing. Start an app. close that one and again start that app. nothing seems work for me. There is no log in logcat.
Is there anything that i'm missing? Please help
public class RestartReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action= intent.getAction();
Log.i("D", "Inside receiver");
}
And here is the manifest file
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name">
<receiver android:name=".ReceiverTest">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_REMOVED" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_ADDED" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_PACKAGE_RESTARTED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
the value specified in the intent filter is incorrect..actual value is
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_RESTARTED" />
and this broadcast can be received for other packages only. Restarted application/package doesn't receive this broadcast.
You should add a data specification to the intent-filter:
<data android:scheme="package" />
i have a receiver that starts a service at boot but the receiver never gets fired when at boot
manifest
<service android:enabled="true" android:name=".BatteryService"></service>
<reciever android:name=".BatteryReciever">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
</intent-filter>
</reciever>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
why does it not work, everything looks correct
if i open my app the service starts fine
Receiver class
public class BatteryReciever extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) {
arg0.startService(new Intent(arg0, BatteryService.class));
}//end onRecieve
}
tyzyj,
It looks like you may have misspelled the word receive in multiple places as recieve.
Try...
<receiver android:name=".BatteryReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
unless the class name is misspelled as well? You may want to post the code for that Receiver class.
