Question

I’m stuck here at my previous struggle >> Prev. Struggle!

Raanan there helped! me a lot but then he I think went away as timing zone is different , now I’m stuck with my service code that I’m using to call my BroadcastReceiver() that is in the activity! and also I’m not getting with what parameter I should load the filter.addAction(action); in place of action??

Kinldy guide me!

CODE in the Server:

Toast.makeText(Server.this, hr +" , " +min, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

       Intent intent = new Intent(this, andRHOME.class);
       //intent.putExtra("sendMessage","1");
       sendBroadcast(intent);

and CODE IN THE ACITIVITY(Broadcast Receiver)

 private BroadcastReceiver ReceivefrmSERVICE = new BroadcastReceiver(){

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        Toast.makeText(context, "IN DA BroadCASTER",
                Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                sendMessage("1");
    }
   };
    IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();

You need to add these line to regiester your receiver for some action for example define a Global variable like this:

public static String NOTIFCATION_BROADCAST_ACTION = "com.your_packagename.UPDATE_NOTIFICATION_INTENT";

then register the action like this in your activity onCreate() Method.

 IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
 filter.addAction(Global.NOTIFCATION_BROADCAST_ACTION);
 registerReceiver(ReceivefrmSERVICE, filter);

Then send the broadcast from your service like this

    Intent broadcast = new Intent();
    broadcast.setAction(Global.NOTIFCATION_BROADCAST_ACTION);
    sendBroadcast(broadcast);

Then in your broadcast Receiver filter this action like this

 private BroadcastReceiver ReceivefrmSERVICE = new BroadcastReceiver(){

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

            if (intent.getAction().equals(Global.NOTIFCATION_BROADCAST_ACTION)) {
                //Do your stuff here :)
            }
    }
   };
