Question

Here is my code. I am not able to call my receiver class from main activity class. Please help.

public class RecorderActivity extends Activity {           

@Override       
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {           
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);           
    setContentView(R.layout.main);                      

    Intent i = new Intent(this, CallRecorder.class);
    startActivity(i);
    } 
}

Answer 1

BroadcastReceiver receiver = new CallRecorder();

in Youractivity.onStart() :

IntentFilter intentFilter = new ItentFilter("some_string-to_call_receiver");
registerReceiver(receiver, intentFilter);

and in Youractivity.onStop() :

uregisterReceiver(receiver);

and call your receiver everywhere:

sendBroadcast(new Intent("some_string-to_call_receiver"));
