broadcastreceiver

According to the android documentation : Alternatively, starting with ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH, you can also safely restrict the broadcast to a single application with Intent.setPackage Is there any way in Gingerbread (using the compatibility library perhaps) to restrict a sendBroadcat() event such that it only sends it to a specified package? My first suggestion would be to use LocalBroadcastManager if at all possible. This allows you to completely ignore any security issues. If you really do need to send the broadcast from one app to another, it is indeed true that registerReceiver() did not

In my app, I have a Broadcast Receiver for catching the message sent to my phone <receiver android:name="com.qmobile.ows.SMS_Receiver" android:enabled="true" android:exported="true"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE" /> <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" /> </intent-filter> </receiver> If I start app with activity GUI, the BroadCast Receiver works normally. I want to start my application without activity and do not show icon app, so I remove this code below from my activity <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent

I'm trying to catch an incomming call broadcast but it isn't working. This is my manifest: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.test.bgPicture" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" > <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="9" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW" /

I'm developing an app which needs to run some code (Networking) whenever an SMS is received. In API 25 and lower it's fine, I register an implicit receiver in Manifest file and start my service in the specified class which extended BroadcastReceiver . In API 26 however you cannot register android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED in a receiver since it won't work. From Android documentation: Note: If your app targets API level 26 or higher, you cannot use the manifest to declare a receiver for implicit broadcasts (broadcasts that do not target your app specifically), except for a few implicit

As you know, recently Google changed their GCM documentation, and they claim that an IntentService is no longer required for handling arriving GCM messages. All the handling can be done in the BroadcastReceiver . When trying to figure out if there is any good reason to continue using the IntentService , I came across this quote : A Service (typically an IntentService) to which the WakefulBroadcastReceiver passes off the work of handling the GCM message, while ensuring that the device does not go back to sleep in the process. Including an IntentService is optional —you could choose to process

I register a broadcast receiver in a preference activity and send it a (sync) broadcast from a (Wakeful) IntentService. Apparently onReceive runs on the service's thread. Is this a fault of my part ? Is it documented behavior ? Preference activity: public final class SettingsActivity extends BaseSettings { private static CharSequence sMasterKey; private CheckBoxPreference mMasterPref; // Receiver /** If the master preference is changed externally this reacts */ private BroadcastReceiver mExternalChangeReceiver = new ExternalChangeReceiver(); public static void notifyMonitoringStateChange

I'm attempting to broadcast extras in an am broadcast in adb shell. In my BroadcastReceiver in android, I'm subscribed to the broadcast and pull the extras out of the Bundle. My trouble lies with doubles. I assumed that a broadcast could include a double since the Bundle class has a getDouble method, e.g.: double percentComplete = bundle.getDouble("percent_complete"); However, the am broadcast command in adb shell doesn't seem to support doubles, only floats. When I send the float, the Bundle.getDouble() method throws an internal exception, logged at the warning level, indicating that it fails

I am building a widget that has multiple buttons, each one sending off its own intent to a broadcast receiver. The broadcast receiver is suppose to display a Toast message based on which button was pushed. The code currently looks like this: public class WidgetProvider extends AppWidgetProvider { @Override public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds){ ComponentName thisWidget = new ComponentName(context, WidgetProvider.class); int[] allWidgetIds = appWidgetManager.getAppWidgetIds(thisWidget); for (int widgetId : allWidgetIds) { RemoteViews

I have an app that receives from the Broadcastreceiver to fetch new data from the web(json), when my app is running while it fetches; everything runs well, when the app is closed it crashes "Your app stopped working". Even the following good to check if my app is in the foreground doesn't work. i want it so if the app is closed, not running, to call an intent to open the app for it not to crash, so how do I check if application is closed? My code; public class UpdateReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { private static long alarmTime = 0; @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent
