I am beginner android developer.
I am trying to call BroadcastReceiver from Activity because I need to update entry if somebody call me.
This is the activity where I am calling BroadcastReceiver.
Source code:
public class CalendarCall extends Activity {
private static final String TAG = "CalendarCall";
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Intent i = new Intent(this, MyBroadcastReceiver.class);
startActivity(i);
}
// ......
}
MyBroadcastReceiver.class:
package org.example.calendarcall;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.telephony.TelephonyManager;
import android.util.Log;
public class MyBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
if (extras != null) {
String state = extras.getString(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE);
Log.w("DEBUG", state);
if (state.equals(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_RINGING)) {
String phoneNumber = extras
.getString(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_INCOMING_NUMBER);
Log.w("DEBUG", phoneNumber);
}
}
}
}
Manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="org.example.calendarcall"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">

<activity android:name=".CalendarCall"
android:label="#string/app_name">

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CALENDAR"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CALENDAR"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/>
</manifest>
Error:
04-21 12:37:40.821: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(793): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{org.example.calendarcall/org.example.calendarcall.CalendarCall}: android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class {org.example.calendarcall/org.example.calendarcall.MyBroadcastReceiver};
I think the problem is declaraction in Manifest and i also dont know if i can call BroadcastReceiver from Activity using:
Intent i = new Intent(this, MyBroadcastReceiver.class);
startActivity(i);
A BroadCastReceiver receives intents from sender's who's calling the sendBroadcast() method. If you would like your MyBroadcastReceiver to be invoked when someone calls you, you could add the filter android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE like:
<receiver android:name=".MyBroadcastReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
You don't really need your CalendarCall activity.
If you want to transfer information from your broadcast receiver to your activity, see this stackoverflow question.
you can call a broadcaste reciever from activity.
you need to register and unregister the reciever and you need to call sendbroadcastereciver() also in your code

I've tried:
This which doesn't work on my phone:
Trying to start a service on boot on Android
This which also fails to work properly:
http://www.compiletimeerror.com/2014/12/android-autostart-app-after-boot-with.html#.VpL6sxWLTIU
And a few others which I couldn't find again. Could someone please post a working example of code which will start a MainActivity with the default HelloWorld xml layout?
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="21" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<receiver android:name=".MyBroadcastReceiver" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<activity
android:name=".MyService"
android:label="#string/title_activity_my_service" >
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
package com.example;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
public class MyBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent startServiceIntent = new Intent(context, MyService.class);
context.startService(startServiceIntent);
}
}
package com.example;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
public class MyService extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_my_service);
}
}
First：create a BroadcastReceiver, onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)，start the app you want to startup in this method
public class BootBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
xxx.class is the app you want to start
Intent service = new Intent(context,XXXclass);
context.startService(service);
Log.v("TAG", "you want to startup this app.....");
Intent intent = getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage(packageName);
context.startActivity(intent );
} }
Secondly:configure receiver and intent-filter
<receiver android:name="BootBroadcastReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"></action>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
THirdly,add permission
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
I want to start my application when phone startup
I just follow tutorial from here but it doesn't work in my device. Please see my method:
package net.londatiga.android;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
public class MyBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent startServiceIntent = new Intent(context, ExampleActivity.class);
context.startService(startServiceIntent);
}
}
And this is my manifest
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="net.londatiga.android"
android:versionCode="2" android:versionName="1.01">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7"
android:targetSdkVersion="15"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name">
<receiver android:name="net.londatiga.android.MyBroadcastReceiver"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true">
<intent-filter android:priority="1000">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<activity android:name=".ExampleActivity"
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>
Where is my mistake please?
Instead of:
context.startService(startServiceIntent);
Use:
context.startActivity(startServiceIntent);
You don't have any Service, You need to open activity.
Intent startServiceIntent = new Intent(context, ExampleActivity.class);
context.startActivity(startServiceIntent);
Create a class name it as AfterBootActivity:
public class AfterBootActivity extends Activity {
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}}
Now, Create a new class named as Autostart.java which extends a BroadcastReceiver:
public class Autostart extends BroadcastReceiver {
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent arg1) {
Intent intent = new Intent(context, StarterService.class);
context.startService(intent);
}}
In the Manifest file add this class as a receiver. This class will listen to the Broadcast call the Android OS sends after the boot sequence has finished i.e. after the phone started up.
Now Create a class named as StarterService.java which will extend Service:
public class StarterService extends Service {
private static final String TAG = "MyService";
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
public void onDestroy() {
Toast.makeText(this, "Service stopped", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.d(TAG, "onDestroy");
}
/**
* The below started service opens the Activity.
*/
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startid) {
Intent intents = new Intent(getBaseContext(), AfterBootActivity.class);
intents.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intents);
Toast.makeText(this, "Service started", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.d(TAG, "onStart");
}}
When the class Autostart receives the BOOT_COMPLETED Broadcast from Android OS it will start the StarterService which then starts the Android Activity “AfterBootActivity” i.e our main class. We can play any audio/video or anything in it.
Change your Manifest.xml as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="on.boot.completed"
android:installLocation="internalOnly"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="7"
android:targetSdkVersion="18" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<activity
android:name="on.boot.completed.AfterBootActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<receiver android:name="on.boot.completed.Autostart" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<service
android:name="on.boot.completed.StarterService"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true" />
</application>
</manifest>
Also Remember to install it in internal memory because if the app installed on the SD Card then autostart will not work! That’s why it’s important that we add in manifest.
android:installLocation="internalOnly"
That’s all run your app.
After it has been started turn off your phone and turn it back on and the app would start automatically after the device has booted up.
I'm trying to do a basic BroadcastReceiver that can receive the Action_BOOT_COMPLETED. Whenever I run this in the emulator, it doesn't seem like the code from the BroadcastReceiver code.
Manifest as follows:
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<activity
android:name=".BootAtStartupActivity"
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=".BootAtStartupReceiver"
android:enabled="true"
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>
MainActivity:
package com.mfcoding.android.bootatstartup;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
public class BootAtStartupActivity extends Activity {
static final String TAG = "BootAtStartupActivity";
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Log.d(TAG, "onCreate");
}
}
BroadcastReceiver:
package com.mfcoding.android.bootatstartup;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.util.Log;
public class BootAtStartupReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
static final String TAG = "BootAtStartupReceiver";
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED)) {
Log.d(TAG, "*** onReceive ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED");
}
Log.d(TAG, "*** onReceive");
}
}
In Logcat, I never see the Log printout for the BroadcastReceiver file. All i see in Logcat is the Activity log printout. Any ideas?
I'd like to see in Logcat the Log print statements of the Broadcast Receiver class.

An app can only receive this Broadcast Intent after the first device reboot occurring after the app has been installed and executed at least once.
Also note that if the app is installed on external storage it may never receive this broadcast because the external storage gets mounted after the Broadcast has been sent.
try removing this line:
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
from your intent filter in the manifest. I've successfully implemented boot listener without this line so I know that it is not needed, however I don't know for sure if it would cause it to not work. Either way it is worth a shot though.
You want to register your broadcast reciever in oncreate() method of your activity.
registerReceiver(receiver, new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED));
receiver - BroadcastReciever
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. */
public static final String PUBLIC_HOLIDAYS = "com.paad.action.PUBLIC_HOLIDAYS";
#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();
}
}
Manifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.broadcastdemo"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

</activity>
<receiver android:name=".Receive">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.paad.action.PUBLIC_HOLIDAYS"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
</manifest>
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);
So in my Android app, I've been testing how to detect an incoming and outgoing call. I got it to work by building a class that extends a BroadcastReceiver, but in that class if I call another class it crashes. For example MyClass mc = new MyClass(); mc.functionname();
My actual app is running a looping sound clip. I want to pause that sound clip when an incoming or outgoing call is made. The soundclip is played in a class that extends Activity. How do I do this?
This is what I have for the BroadcastReceiver class and my manifest.
package com.anthony.phone;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.media.AudioManager;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.telephony.TelephonyManager;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class inComingReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
if(null == bundle)
return;
Log.i("MYTAG",bundle.toString());
String state = bundle.getString(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE);
Log.i("MYTAG","State: "+ state);
if(state.equalsIgnoreCase(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_RINGING))
{
String phonenumber = bundle.getString(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_INCOMING_NUMBER);
Log.i("MYTAG",":) Incomng Number: " + phonenumber);
String info = "Detect Calls sample application\nIncoming number: " + phonenumber;
Toast.makeText(context, info, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}
and my manifest
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest package="com.anthony.phone"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

</activity>
<receiver android:name="com.anthony.phone.inComingReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
</manifest>
i had also this kind of problem. i solved by calling activity from broadcast receiver And writing my class code in particular Activity. As mentioned below
Intent i = new Intent(context,newActivity.class);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(i);
i hope it will help you to solve your query.
ask me if you further have any doubt.
