StartActivity from broadcastreceiver - android

Onreceive method will crash app at context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Send"));
It works fine in oncreate method but do not work in broadcastreceiver class.
Can anybody knows reason. I am new android programmer.
Thanks in advance.
public class SMSReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
takePictureNoPreview(context);
String imagePath="test.jpeg";
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
// sendIntent.setClassName("com.android.mms", "com.android.mms.ui.ComposeMessageActivity");
sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "I Send you pic.");
sendIntent.putExtra("address", phoneNumber);
sendIntent.setType("image/png");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(dataFile));
// context.startActivityForResult(sendIntent, 1);
context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Send"));
// context.startActivity(sendIntent);
}
}
}
public void takePictureNoPreview(Context context){
// open back facing camera by default
Camera myCamera= Camera.open();//openFrontFacingCameraGingerbread();
if(myCamera!=null){
try{
//set camera parameters if you want to
//...
// here, the unused surface view and holder
SurfaceView dummy=new SurfaceView(context);
myCamera.setPreviewDisplay(dummy.getHolder());
myCamera.startPreview();
myCamera.takePicture(null, null, photoCallback);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}finally{
// myCamera.close();
}
}else{
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, "No front Facing camera", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.show();
}
}
Camera.PictureCallback photoCallback = new Camera.PictureCallback() {
public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
// Save the image JPEG data to the SD card
FileOutputStream fos = null;
// camera.startPreview();
bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.length);
StudentDemo.iView.setImageBitmap(bmp);
try {
fos = new FileOutputStream(dataFile,true);
fos.write(data);
fos.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
/*new SavePhotoTask().execute(data);
camera.startPreview();*/
}
};
}

Try:

sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", "I Send you pic.");
sendIntent.putExtra("address", phoneNumber);
sendIntent.setType("image/png");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(dataFile));
sendIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Send"));
Whenever launching an Activity from outside a UI related context (like a Service or a BroadcastReceiver), you need to attach the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK to the intent.

add these permissions to your manifest

<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.flash" />
i found solution In order to work, the camera needs a surface to turn on.
so after camera.startPreview() i wrote this piece of lines
surfaceTexture = new SurfaceTexture(0);
camera.setPreviewTexture(surfaceTexture);
it solved my problem thanks alot :)

Getting camera opening error with Zxing library in Sony Xperia C

Can not catch the custom intent in android?

I have a activity and one button make shortcut + custom intent with my action inside. After I'm click the button, it's work well, a shortcut already on homescreen. Then I click shortcut, main activity can not catch the intent in my receiver class. Where am I wrong?
Main Activity
I have rigister Reciever in onCreate(), with intent filter.
registerReceiver(new MyReceiver(), new IntentFilter("nhq.intent.flashlight"));
This is my Reciever class inside MainActivity
public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF)) {
Log.v("$$$$$$", "In Method: ACTION_SCREEN_OFF");
// onPause() will be called.
} else if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON)) {
Log.v("$$$$$$", "In Method: ACTION_SCREEN_ON");
} else if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_USER_PRESENT)) {
Log.v("$$$$$$", "In Method: ACTION_USER_PRESENT");
// Handle resuming events
}
}
}
When I click the button make shortcut I run the function
private void makeShortcut() {
Intent shortcutIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class);
shortcutIntent.setAction("nhq.intent.flashlight");
Intent addIntent = new Intent();
addIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_INTENT, shortcutIntent);
addIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_NAME,"Flash Light");
addIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ICON_RESOURCE, Intent.ShortcutIconResource.fromContext(getApplicationContext(),R.drawable.ic_launcher));
addIntent.setAction("com.android.launcher.action.INSTALL_SHORTCUT");
getApplicationContext().sendBroadcast(addIntent);
//finish();
}
I also defined reciever in manifest file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="nhq.intent.flashlight" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
</manifest>
I've re-read the question (sorry) and it seems you have a typo in your package names:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="nhq.fashlight"
shortcutIntent.setAction("nhq.intent.flashlight");
That maybe why the shortcut doesn't work.
i think that need addAction for ACTION_SCREEN_OFF, ON, PRESENT.
like this
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON);
filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF);
also add ACTION_SCREEN_ON,ACTION_USER_PRESENT filter.addAction too.
then receive intent action
if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF)) {
Log.v("$$$$$$", "In Method: ACTION_SCREEN_OFF");
// onPause() will be called.
}

Codes for call recording in android

I am making and application that records calls. Here is my code to record a call and save the file in the SD card under songs folder. But the problem is that this code was working fine but later it is not working. I cannot find what is the problem. Can you please help me out?

I think the broadcast receiver is not getting activated wile i am calling my phone.
How do you know your broadcast receiver is not working? Place a Log message inside onReceive() right at the beginning. It might be that your extras == null
But how to make my receiver functional now?
Check out example #5 and just follow the same steps.
Bro i dont think activity will get launched.
Well, it does: You are starting it in your onReceive():
Intent x = new Intent (c, EavesDropperActivity.class);
c.startActivity(x);
However, you are not setting any content in your Activity i.e no UI screen is presented because you have this line commented in onCreate() of EavesDropperActivity Activity:
//setContentView(R.layout.main);
So, you need to think hard on what you are trying to achieve in EavesDropperActivity
HTH.
Put this
<android:permission="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON" />
in mainfest file for broadcast receiver.
Add your package name to your receiver class as,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.testapp"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
