onCreate() or onNewIntent() not fired when search button pressed - android

I'm trying to implement search functionality in my app, which is very basic at the moment. When I press the search button on my Nexus, the search intent seems to not fire because neither onCreate() nor onNewIntent() gets called. I have basically copied the whole example you can find on Android developers, but it is still not working. Thanks for your help
res/searchable.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<searchable xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:label="hello"
android:hint="Search lectures" >
</searchable>
AndroidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.openday.lectures"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" />
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".LecturesListActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:launchMode="singleTop">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data android:name="android.app.searchable"
android:resource="#xml/searchable"/>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".SingleLectureActivity"
android:label="Lecture">
</activity>
</application>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
</manifest>
LecturesListActivity.java (shortened)
public class LecturesListActivity extends ListActivity {
private String categoryDisplayed;
private String facultyDisplayed;
private List<Lecture> lectures;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
loadLectures();
displayFaculties();
}
#Override
protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
setIntent(intent);
handleIntent(intent);
}
private void handleIntent(Intent intent) {
if (Intent.ACTION_SEARCH.equals(intent.getAction())) {
String query = intent.getStringExtra(SearchManager.QUERY);
searchForLectures(query);
}
}
}

Problem with constant string in searchable.xml, same answer as this question

BroadcastReceiver not being instantiated

I have a BroadcastReceiver that is not being instantiated or called, any help on what I'm doing is appreciated.
It should be responding to wifi connection/disconnection events but isn't, and it's superclass constructor is not even being called either.
MainActivity:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
}
BroadcastReceiver:
public class ConnectivityChangeReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.v(TAG, "action: " + intent.getAction());
Log.v(TAG, "component: " + intent.getComponent());
}
}
AndroidManifest.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.test">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<receiver
android:name=".ConnectivityChangeReceiver"
android:enabled="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.net.ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
</manifest>
The <action> name is set incorrectly. It should be: android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE. See the "Constant Value" as described here.

Sms Receiver NOT working

I followed a tutorial on Receiving sms using BroadcastReceiver
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-zYXVODiPo
I used exactly the same codes. Enabled Telnet client. Does my device need to be rooted first? I don't know the problem. Please help.
Here's my MainActivity
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
BroadcastReceiver receiver;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter("android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED");
receiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context arr0, Intent arr1) {
processReceiver(arr0,arr1);
}
};
registerReceiver(receiver,filter);
}
public void onDestroy(){
super.onDestroy();
unregisterReceiver(receiver);
}
public void processReceiver(Context context,Intent intent){
Toast.makeText(context,"RECEIVED",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
TextView lbs = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
Object[] objArr = (Object[])bundle.get("pdus");
String sms="";
for(int i=0;i>objArr.length;i++){
SmsMessage smsMsg = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[])objArr[i]);
String smsBody = smsMsg.getMessageBody();
String senderNumber = smsMsg.getDisplayOriginatingAddress();
sms+= "From: "+senderNumber+"\nContent: "+smsBody+"\n";
}
lbs.setText(sms);
}
Here's my Manifest.XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="gavadev.com.smsreceiver">
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="21"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.NoActionBar">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".Main2Activity"></activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Use a Broadcast Receiver which will not be unregistered when destroying the activity:
public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(intent.getAction().equals("android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED"))
{
// your processing will go here...
}
}
}
Register the receiver via manifest file as following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.broadcastreceiverpremier"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="19" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS"/>
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.example.broadcastreceiverpremier.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="MyReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>

Any suggestion/fix would help me lot.
Late answer, but try changing
android:exported="false"
to
android:exported="true"

registerMediaButtonEventReceiver / handling volume buttons issue

In my application I need to process physical button events such as volume button clicks. For that I'm using audiomanager's registerMediaButtonEventReceiver method. There's an article relevant to my situation, though I can't get it working.
Here's code I'm using:
public class VolumeBroadcastActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
AudioManager manager = (AudioManager) getSystemService(AUDIO_SERVICE);
manager.registerMediaButtonEventReceiver(new ComponentName(getPackageName(), RemoteControlReceiver.class.getName()));
}
public class RemoteControlReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Toast.makeText(VolumeBroadcastActivity.this, "1",1).show();
if (Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON.equals(intent.getAction())) {
}
}
}
}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="localhost.volume.broadcast"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="10" />
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<activity
android:name=".VolumeBroadcastActivity"
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="RemoteControlReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
</manifest>
Your RemoteControlReceiver class is an inner class of VolumeBroadcastActivity. Your manifest doesn't say so and I don't think it could. Make it a regular class and precede its android:name with a dot.
You might need this permission (declare in manifest):
uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"

Android BOOT_COMPLETED not working!

This is a simple program i created to test BOOT_COMPLETED event of Android but it's not working! am i doing something wrong here?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.enea.training.bootdemo"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<application android:icon="#drawable/icon" android:label="#string/app_name">
<receiver android:name=".BootDemoReceiver">
<Intent-filter>
<action android:name ="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"></action>
</Intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" />
</manifest>
java:
public class BootDemoReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
static final String TAG = "BootDemoReceiver";
#Override
public void onReceive(final Context context, final Intent bootintent) {
Log.v(TAG, "Come on");
}
}
I'm not sure if it matters, but try changing <Intent-filter> to <intent-filter> (note lowercase 'i').
