Android broadcast receiver doesn't receive ACTION_SCREEN_ON

Question

I tried to register the receiver in my service with the following code:

IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON);
ScreenReceiver SR =         


        

Answer 1

Maybe you should check which intent is coming inside your onReceive() method:

if(intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON)
{
    ...
}

Also, have you tried putting a breakpoint in there?

Other advice, instead of using System.out.println use the API native log which would be in your case

Log.i("ScreenReceiver""RECEIVED");

And you can read the log in the logcat.
