broadcastreceiver

If I have an inner class that extends BroadcastReceiver within my Service class, should I care about synchronization, when the BroadcastReceiver class reads/writes to objects from the Service class? Or to put it in another way: Are BroadacstReceiver 's onReceive() Methods started in an extra thread? Nick Pelly The onReceive() method is always called on the main thread (which is also referred to as "UI thread"), unless you requested it to be scheduled on a different thread using the registerReceiver() variant: Context.registerReceiver(BroadcastReceiver receiver, IntentFilter filter, String

I want to use dynamically registered BroadcastReceiver that has a reference to an Activity so it can modify its UI. I am using Context.registerReceiver() method but receiver's onReceive() method is never called. Here is the sample code showing the problem: package com.example; import android.app.Activity; import android.app.IntentService; import android.content.BroadcastReceiver; import android.content.Context; import android.content.Intent; import android.content.IntentFilter; import android.os.Bundle; import android.util.Log; import android.view.KeyEvent; public class

I have integrated Firebase Cloud Messaging with my application. When I sent a notification from the Firebase console, if the app is in background or not opened I receive successfully the notification, otherwise if the app is in foreground or opened, I did not receive it. All suggestions are appreciated. Shivam Bhusri When app is in foreground, notifications are not generated themselves. You need to write some additional code. When message is received onMessageReceived() method is called where you can generate the notification. Here is the code: public class MyFirebaseMessagingService extends

I have some receivers declared in my AndroidManifest : <!-- no warning --> <receiver android:name=".receivers.TriggerMonitoringBootReceiver" android:enabled="false"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" /> </intent-filter> </receiver> <!-- no warning --> <receiver android:name=".receivers.ScanResultsReceiver" android:enabled="false"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.net.wifi.SCAN_RESULTS" /> </intent-filter> </receiver> <!-- warning : Exported receiver does not require permission--> <receiver android:name=".receivers.BatteryMonitoringReceiver

My music application constantly plays music in the background, however I'd like to be able to detect when another application starts playing audio (such as the YouTube app) so I can pause/mute/stop the audio in my application. This will allow a user to continue browsing the web whilst listening to music, but then if they wish to watch a video at any point, they can do so without audio conflict. One solution might be to listen for a broadcast which states when an application begins using the AudioManager. Does such an Intent Action exist? Edit: As in the answer provided below, there appears to

I have created a activity that is only meant to be launched from a link (using a intent filter.) I do not want this activity to have a GUI - I just want it to start a service and put a notification in the bar. I have tried to put the intent filter for the link in my service, but that does not work. Is there a better thing to do this that will answer to intent filters - or can I just make my activity not have a GUI? Sorry if I'm being confusing, Isaac Reto Meier Your best bet would seem to be using a BroadcastReceiver . You can create a new BroadcastReceiver that listens for the Intent to

I want to check the BROADCAST RECEIVER with Action BOOT_COMPLETED in the emulator . Is there any way to check that broadcast receiver in emulator ? How can i restart emulator to check that receiver ? is there any direct command? Thanks in advance. There is no Power Button in Emulator like Devices have,So To stop an emulator instance, just close the emulator's window. And To Start/Restart it Start from AVD Manager of Eclipse and Your BroadcastReceiver with BOOT_COMPLETE action will get called for sure You can start AVD another way also, From CMD go to Tools of AndroidSDK and give this commmand
