Question

I am working with a SMS listener, code below:

public class SMSReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        EventEntry entry = ((MyApplication)context.getApplicationContext()).getCurrent();
        System.out.println("Received message: " + smsMessage[0].getMessageBody() + " - SILENCE IS " + ((entry != null) ? "ON" : "OFF"));
    }
}

And following modification to AndroidManifest

<application
    android:name="MyApplication" ...

In another part of my code (in a BroadcastReceiver for AlarmManager), I have

public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    ((MyApplication).context.getApplicationContext()).setCurrent("TESTING");
}

However, when I run the application and send a sample text, I get the following debug messages:

09-15 15:07:30.974: I/System.out(21625): DEBUG!!!!!! Setting current event to TESTING
09-15 15:07:54.399: I/System.out(21605): DEBUG!!!!!! Getting current event: null

Any ideas why my application contexts are out of sync?

Thanks!

Answer 1

I can give you one alternative solution of this, Just you can override onCreate() method in your MyApplication class.

class MyApplication extends Application {
private static MyApplication singleTon;

public MyApplication getInstance(){
return singleTon;
}

@Override
public void onCreate() {
singleTon = this;
}


...... Here your remaining code....

}

Now you can access the instance of this class and then call getApplicationContex();

 (MyApplication.getInstance().getapplicationContext()).getCurrent();

Hope it can helpful to you…:)
