BroadcastReceiver declared in manifest is not receiving the Broadcast

Question

I\'ve tried to register a Wifi BroadcastReceiver to get the wifi state when it changes. But so far I have no luck receiving the broadcast.

Answer 1

If your Target android version is more than Android O. if you declare receivers in manifest they wont work. So you need to register inside your activity.

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 broadcasts that are exempted from that restriction. In most cases, you can use scheduled jobs instead.
