Result Back from Broadcast Receiver

问题

I am sending a broadCast from App A to app B, app B has a BroadCastReceiver to handle intent.

Now I do some operation in onReceive in App B's BroadcastReceiver and then I want to get result back to App A, so that I can have a callback, and continue operations if result is positive.

Below some code.

inside App B:

public class TripBackupReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
    public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) {
        System.out.println("broadcast Received");

        // send result back to Caller Activity
    }
}

inside App A:

Intent intent = new Intent("a_specified_action_string");
sendBroadcast(intent);

Can anybody have any solution for this problem, please guide me with some suggestions. Thanks!!

Why not just (sort of) send an Intent from TripBackupReceiver that is received by App A?

Something like:

public class TripBackupReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        System.out.println("broadcast Received");

        // send result back to Caller Activity
        Intent replyIntent = new Intent("a_specified_action_string");
        context.sendBroadcast(replyIntent);         
    }
}

You could receive this Intent in a BroadcastReceiver defines in App A. Or alternatively use the Context.startActivity(Intent) method to start an activity in App A.

You may need to implement onNewIntent() if this makes a call to an activity that is already running.

Please use signed intents for this, in order to prevent users from hacking into your Intent API.

I was looking for something similar. This helped me tremendously.

Basically, instead of a sendBroadcast(Intent) try using a suitable form of sendOrderedBroadcast() which allows setting a BroadcastReceiver to handle results form a Receiver. A simple example:

sendOrderedBroadcast(intent, null, new BroadcastReceiver() {
        @SuppressLint("NewApi")
        @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
            Bundle results = getResultExtras(true);

            String trail = results.getString("breadcrumb");
            results.putString("breadcrumb", trail + "->" + "sometext");
            Log.i(TAG, "Final Result Receiver = " + results.getString("breadcrumb", "nil"));
        }
    }, null, Activity.RESULT_OK, null, null);
