Question

I have written a simple app which atm just pops up a toast message when the network state changes. This works perfectly on the emulator but I’ve tried it on 2 different android phones and it seems like the broadcast reciever is never trigger on these events.
This is my broadcast reciever:

public class PhoneStateReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
  @Override
  public void onReceive( Context context, Intent intent )
  {       
      Toast.makeText( context, "Hi", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT ).show();     
  }
}

This is my manifest file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
..
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />

    <application
..
        <receiver android:name=".PhoneStateReceiver" android:enabled="true">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE"></action>
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>
..
    </application>
<!-- Needed to check when the network connection changes -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
</manifest>

Anyone know why this is happening or what I might have done wrong?

Thanks,

I can’t find anything obviously incorrect in your code, so here is a best-effort.

In your manifest place the block AFTER the
