broadcastreceiver

I have a Broadcast receiver setup so that a pop-up message is displayed to the user after each upgrade of my app, or if this is the first time the package is installed. I tested this on my Droid running Android 2.2 both as a fresh install and after upgrading my app, as well in the Emulator running 1.5 and 1.6, and I see everything run fine. However, I received an error report from a user that lists the following exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate receiver com.name.pkg.FirstRunBroadcastReceiver: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.name.pkg.app_name

I want to check Internet connection throughout the run time of my Android application. I tried using services but seems like it is not the best option. Is there any possible way for me to implement a broadcast receiver with in a service? Or do I have to give up the service and use broadcast receivers alone? I now show how to create SMS receiver in a service: public class MyService extends Service { @Override public void onCreate() { BwlLog.begin(TAG); super.onCreate(); SMSreceiver mSmsReceiver = new SMSreceiver(); IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(); filter.setPriority(IntentFilter.SYSTEM

I have a flashlight app with a widget. The widget is used to turn the flashlight on and off and does not display main activity or anything. After a few hours, however, the widget does nothing. I mean if you click it, nothing happens. I have two classes to accomplish this a Provider and a Receiver . Provider: public class WidgetProvider extends AppWidgetProvider { @ Override public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) { Intent receiver = new Intent(context, FlashlightWidgetReceiver.class); receiver.setAction("COM_FLASHLIGHT"); receiver.putExtra

I have a service that schedules a pendingintent which starts my notification. However, since Android O I am getting this error. I did some research, and stumbled upon context.registerReceiver , but that does not seem to fix the problem. Error: W/BroadcastQueue: Background execution not allowed: receiving Intent { act=android.intent.action.PACKAGE_ADDED dat=package:my.great.package flg=0x4000010 (has extras) } to com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.apps.gsa.googlequicksearchbox.GelStubAppWatcher ``` My pendingintent: Intent myNotification = new Intent("services

I can't find the Application's object (extend Application) life cycle. For example, what happens if I have a broadcast receiver which is called through Alarm. Will methods in Application being called? Or is everything independent from the Application? If I have a datahelper instantiated in the Application and I call it from broadcast receiver, will it available? Which is the Application object life cycle, when it is destroyed? when is it called when using Alarms? What happens when the activity is not in foreground with the Application object? Thanks in advance. Guillermo. Look at it this way:

I'm refactoring some code so that my app will pull data from a website once a day at a given time. From my research, it seems like AlarmManager is the most appropriate approach. The tutorial I have been following is: http://mobile.tutsplus.com/tutorials/android/android-fundamentals-downloading-data-with-services/ So far, AlarmManager and the BroadcastReceiver seem to be working, however the Service never seems to start (ie. onStartCommand doesn't seem to be called) Here are the important snippets of the code I have so far: MyActivity.java private void setRecurringAlarm(Context context) {
