Question

I’ve been trying to find out what is wrong here for a couple of hours. Why this broadcast reciever does not recieve the intent ?

static class BReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(final Context context, final Intent intent) {
        Toast.makeText(context, "Got the intent", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }

}

@Override
public void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    mLayout = new FrameLayout(this);
    setContentView(mLayout);
    final IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter("com.example.testui.action");
    getApplicationContext().registerReceiver(new BReceiver(), intentFilter);
    final Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), BReceiver.class);
    intent.setAction("com.example.testui.action");
    getApplicationContext().sendBroadcast(intent);
}

PS. I didn’t define this reciever in a manifest file, because, strictly saying, it is not mandatory.

Answer 1

Try to send broadcast this way:

getApplicationContext().sendBroadcast(new Intent("com.example.testui.action"));
