Im creating an app in which i do a task when i receive a call (detect RINGING state with a BROADCASTRECEIVER ).My question is that,can I register and unregister (literally;ON and OFF) his broadcastreceiver from an activity having 2 buttons;say one for ON and another for OFF?

Does it require the BROADCASTRECEIVER to be declared inside the activity?If I do so,can i register and unregister it,via the activity?

    this is the way i would do it:

    • I define a separate BroadcastReceiver and define it in android manifest rather than using it in your activity. Doing this allows my broadcast receiver to work independent of activity
    • Write an activity with two buttons (On/Off) and save its action as a flag in shared preferences
    • update the broadcastreceiver’s onReceive method and check if a flag in preference is set to true then handle the intent, otherwise ignore it
