broadcastreceiver

I am trying to write a BroadcastReceiver that listens to events like insert, edit, delete to the native android calendar (ICS and above). So whenever one of these events occur the app should be able to at the least know that these events occurred. Any one has an idea, how to do this or any reference links. I have written my own broadcasterReceiver class that extends from BroadcastReceiver. Can't figure out the values in the manifest like, currently I have this which is not working: <receiver android:name=".NativeEventChangeReceiver"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action

I have a broadcast receiver registered programatically in a activity. It responds to the PACKAGE_REMOVED intent, that fires when a package gets removed. The problem is, it doesn't get this message. I think this is due to that the intent is fired when I leave the activity and move to another activity to uninstall a app, so the original activity is paused. Could it be that a paused activity (where the receiver is not unregistered in onPause ) also pauses the receiver? When you register a broadcast receiver programatically in an activity, it will NOT get broadcasts when the activity is paused.

In my Android application, I have a simple list view with adapter. There's a heavy query which is to fill the list view with data. So I put it to an IntentService that runs in another thread. The IntentService is normally running separately, on its own, just to query some data and insert it into the SQLite database. But now I would like to have the following possibility: The activity starts the IntentService with startService(). The IntentService does its heavy work. When the IntentService is finished, it should inform the activity about the result so that the activity can be refreshed to show

I want start a service, when a specific bluetoothdevice is connected and stop this service when it's disconnected. Obviously I don't want to have a background service that is always checking if a BT device is connected, so I want to achieve this with a Receiver. Is this actually possible? android.bluetooth.device.action.ACL_CONNECTED is mentioned here , but apparently it didn't work. Thanks!

I am using ACTION_MY_PACKAGE_REPLACED to receive when my app is updated or resinstalled. My problem is that the event is never triggered (I tried Eclipse and real device). This is what I do: Manifest: <receiver android:name=".MyEventReceiver" > <intent-filter android:priority="1000" > <action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_MY_PACKAGE_REPLACED" /> </intent-filter> </receiver> Code: public class MyEventReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { if ("android.intent.action.ACTION_MY_PACKAGE_REPLACED".equals(intent.getAction())

When i have a broadcastReceiver say android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON and i want to update the current activity's UI without creating a new activity, is there any good practice on this one? What i know (might not be correct) 1) I can put the BroadcastReceiver in the same class as the activity and call the updateUI function after certain activity 2) Create a ContentObserver? 3) Communicate to a service created by the activity, use aidl. (I dont know how to get the current service if its registered from an activity) 4) Create a custom filter on the broadcastReceiver located on the same class as

I'm attempting to detect when my application has been upgraded using a BroadcastReceiver and set a boolean in my Application Class. This boolean will be used in conjunction with a few other booleans to determine whether or not to show the EULA dialog box to the user. I belive I've got it all setup correctly, but the EULA is still showing up when it shouldn't. Specifically when the user has already accepted the EULA in a previous version, the EULA hasn't changed in the version being upgraded to(Manually set by me), and the app is being upgraded. I believe the reason this isn't working is
