I have some trouble while try using broadcast receiver.
Target:
I have three app which will work next schema
1. First - is broadcast receiver app which will write some data to database when it will get a message.
2. Second - is app android which will send some intent with data which must be saved in database.
3. Third - is widget in home screen which will also send some intent with data which must be saved in database.
So, I make three app on eclipse.
1. BroadcastReceiverExample - broadcast receiver it has next files
package com.test.receive;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class SimpleReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Toast.makeText(context, "service get started action", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.e("START","START");
}
}
and the manifest file source
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.test"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" />
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name">
<receiver android:enabled="true" android:name=".receive.SimpleReceiver" android:exported="false">
<intent-filter android:priority="999">
<action android:name="com.test.SIMPLE_TEST_SERVICE"></action>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
</manifest>
also I create App project (BroadcastSenderExample) in Eclipse
and it has file with next sender code
package com.test.sender;
import com.test.R;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.IntentFilter;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
public class BroadcastSenderExample extends Activity {
public final static String ACTION="com.test.SIMPLE_TEST_SERVICE";
public final static String TYPE="type";
public final static int START=1;
public final static int STOP=0;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
btnStart=(Button)findViewById(R.id.btnStart);
btnStart.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
Intent bcIntent=new Intent(ACTION);
sendBroadcast(bcIntent);
}
});
btnEnd=(Button)findViewById(R.id.btnEnd);
btnEnd.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
Intent bcIntent=new Intent(ACTION);
sendBroadcast(bcIntent);
}
});
}
private Button btnStart=null;
private Button btnEnd=null;
}
Then I install first app on device (and emulator try too), and install second app.
And then second app run intent call nothing happen.
What am I doing wrong?
I make two projects with next code
Project one wBRReceiver
File WBRReceiver.java
package com.x.brreceiver;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class WBRReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) {
Log.i("THIS IS A TEST RECEIVER","THIS IS A TEST RECEIVER");
Toast.makeText(arg0, "this is a test receiver", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
AndroidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.x.brreceiver"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name">
<receiver android:name="WBRReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.x.START"></action>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
</manifest>
And project two wBRSender
File WBRSenderActivity.java
package com.x.brsender;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class WBRSenderActivity extends Activity {
private String ACTION_NAME="com.x.START";
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Intent brr=new Intent(ACTION_NAME);
//I can't use this
//brr.setClass(this, WBRReceiver.class);
//Because i just don't have this class in this case
sendBroadcast(brr);
}
}
And manifest
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.x.brsender"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".WBRSenderActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
And then I install first app onto emulator, and then run second app. And it works.
Did you look at the logcat output? There's a very good chance it tells you exactly what's wrong.
Without staring at your code too much, it seems that your manifest is broken. In your receiver, you state the android:name is ".receive.SimpleReceiver"... this value (when starting with a .) is not simply "the part that follows the Android package name) -- though it works out that way most of the time. In your case, your Android package is "com.test" however the package containing your receiver is "com.test.receive.SimpleReceiver" and its Java package is "com.test.receive". Try changing your android:name to "com.test.receive.SimpleReceiver".

I'm using intent method to make a simple app that takes you from main screen [with an enter button] to another screen which has three options. Code sourced online and seems to be error free, though my app crashes saying "Unfortunately [yourapp], has stopped" immediately after i press the button which is meant to take to the the other screen.
This is my first activity code:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
Button button;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
addListenerOnButton();
}
public void addListenerOnButton() {
final Context context = this;
button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.enterBtn);
button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
Intent intent = new Intent(context, HomeActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
}
}`
And this is my landing screen's activity code:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.Button;
public class HomeActivity extends Activity {
Button button;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.home);
}
}
I'm really stuck with this issue and any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
Every activity needs to be added in your manifest file under application tag. This seems to be the problem in your case.
Try to post you LogCat so that we might get some more information and if you have not yet added your Activity in the manifest, this is the way of adding it (Activities go under application tag)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.southmp3"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="14"
android:targetSdkVersion="21" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name=".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>
<activity
android:name=".HomeActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
</activity>
</application>
all the Activities should be going under the application tag
I had forgotten to register my new activity on the androidmanifest.xml file. That's what sorted my app crash issue.
I try to write app which can start when usb connect
I learn from Starting my android application automatically after connecting the USB cable.
my code is
package com.example.formatsdcard;
import java.io.File;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Environment;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
public class OnPowerReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent i = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(i);
}
}
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button mButton01 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
mButton01.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View v)
{
wipeMemoryCard();
}
});
MY Manifest is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.formatsdcard"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="7"
android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED"/>
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.example.formatsdcard.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>
<receiver android:name=".OnPowerReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
my app can run after I click it but it will show there're some problem try again later when I connect my usb cable.
How should I change my code to let it work normally.
You should probably try
<receiver android:name="MainActivity$OnPowerReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
Or try putting OnPowerReceiver as a public class in your package com.example.formatsdcard
Create a own class for your onPowerReceiver. Don't put it in your MainActivity.
I've been reading through some of the other posts about calling an activity in another package and it looks like I'm doing it right but still getting this error from my main activity:
AndroidTestProj1/src/com/testing/androidtest/TestProj1Activity.java:7: error: package com.testing.androidtest2 does not exist
I've declared the other activity in my manifest but it still cannot find it.
====================================

{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
// do some stuff here then call other package activity

public class Helper {
private static final String SOMEKEY = "somekey";
private static SharedPreferences prefs;
public static void init(Context context)
{
prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);
initialize();
}
private static void initialize()
{
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefs.edit();
if (!prefs.contains(SOMEKEY)) editor.putBoolean(SOMEKEY, false);
editor.commit();
}
public static boolean getSomeKeyValue()
{
return prefs.getBoolean(SOMEKEY, true);
}
}
It is the same thing which you do in normal scenario but with a little tweak in it. In FirstActivity where ever you want to call other activity from other package, put following code
code
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setClassName("com.CodeArt.finalactivity", "com.CodeArt.finalactivity.FinalActivity");
startActivity(i);
Here com.CodeArt.finalactivity is the package name and com.CodeArt.finalactivity.FinalActivity is full class name.
Now go to the AndroidManifest.xml of the FirstActivity and Add following line
activity android:name=”com.CodeArt.finalactivity.FinalActivity” in application tag.
It will work fine.
Just an assumption, but have you already add your second project into your current one? Otherwise you cannot reach out its class even though you declare them in your manifest.

I am new to android, i am trying a broadcast demo, I gave my best effort by reading the documentation but its not working. Please have a look at my code:
BroadcastDemoActivity.java
package com.broadcastdemo;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class BroadcastDemoActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */

#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Intent intent = new Intent(PUBLIC_HOLIDAYS);
intent.putExtra("Holiday", "8th April is a holiday");
sendBroadcast(getIntent());
}
}
Receive.java
package com.broadcastdemo;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class Receive extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
String message = intent.getStringExtra("Holiday");
Toast.makeText(context, message, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

I know that i am missing something which i am not aware of, please help.
I believe your problem is in the call to sendBroadcast.
Intent intent = new Intent(PUBLIC_HOLIDAYS);
intent.putExtra("Holiday", "8th April is a holiday");
sendBroadcast(getIntent());
You are not sending the intent that you construct, you're sending the intent returned from getIntent(), which will be the intent that the activity was started with.
It should be
Intent intent = new Intent(PUBLIC_HOLIDAYS);
intent.putExtra("Holiday", "8th April is a holiday");
sendBroadcast(intent);
I made an app which is just working fine. But when i click on "cancel" or "ok" button when i run the program, instead of linking me to result.java, the simulator give me "The application has stopped unexpectedly please try again" Here's the code
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.ComponentName;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.database.CursorJoiner.Result;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AutoCompleteTextView;
public class lib_main extends Activity {
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
public void onAddClick (View botton){
AutoCompleteTextView title = (AutoCompleteTextView)findViewById(R.id.Title);
AutoCompleteTextView author = (AutoCompleteTextView)findViewById(R.id.Author);
AutoCompleteTextView isbn = (AutoCompleteTextView)findViewById(R.id.ISBN);
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setClass(this,Result.class);
intent.putExtra("Title", title.getText().toString());
intent.putExtra("Author", author.getText().toString());
intent.putExtra("ISBN", isbn.getText().toString());
startActivity(intent);
}
public void onCancelClick(View botton){
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(this,Result.class));
intent.putExtra("Cancel","Cancel");
startActivity(intent);
}
}
this is Result.java
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class Result extends Activity {
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.result);

Can anyone help me with this problem?
Quick question, have you registered both Activities? If you only provide for one in your manifest file you're going to get this error every time you attempt to do something involving the unregistered activity.
