Broadcasting and receiving extra doubles

Question

I\'m attempting to broadcast extras in an am broadcast in adb shell. In my BroadcastReceiver in android, I\'m subscribed to the broadcast and pull the extras out of the Bund

Answer 1

You can use URI format to provide <INTENT> to am broadcast and am startservice:

adb shell am broadcast "intent:#Intent;action=android.intent.action.YOUR_ACTION;d.percent_complete=99.999;end"

URI format supports the following extra types:

Bundle b = intent.mExtras;
if      (uri.startsWith("S.", i)) b.putString(key, value);
else if (uri.startsWith("B.", i)) b.putBoolean(key, Boolean.parseBoolean(value));
else if (uri.startsWith("b.", i)) b.putByte(key, Byte.parseByte(value));
else if (uri.startsWith("c.", i)) b.putChar(key, value.charAt(0));
else if (uri.startsWith("d.", i)) b.putDouble(key, Double.parseDouble(value));
else if (uri.startsWith("f.", i)) b.putFloat(key, Float.parseFloat(value));
else if (uri.startsWith("i.", i)) b.putInt(key, Integer.parseInt(value));
else if (uri.startsWith("l.", i)) b.putLong(key, Long.parseLong(value));
else if (uri.startsWith("s.", i)) b.putShort(key, Short.parseShort(value));
else throw new URISyntaxException(uri, "unknown EXTRA type", i);
