I have a wallpaper app on the market. I have almost finished a
customisation application for it, which I want to sell. Because it is
a wallpaper, I can't use a launch intent.
I have now spent many days trying to simply pass a custom intent using
BroadcastReceiver. I can't find a single example on the net of doing
this between two different applications. In desperation I post my best
guess as to what should work, although I have tried many permutations.
Stepping through with the debugger and I find the sendBroadcast is
executed but nothing is ever received.
Any help on where I am wrong, or to some code that I can use as an
example, may stop me going crazy:
My sender has the following on a button click:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setClassName("pack.name",
"pack.name.rtestactivity");
sendBroadcast(intent);
My receiver has the following manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
package="pack.name"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/
app_name">
<activity android:name=".rtestactivity"
android:label="@string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category
android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<receiver android:name="rtestactivity$AlarmReceiver"></receiver>
</application>
</manifest>
and the following Java:
package pack.name;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class rtestactivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
// set up a button to show mysemaphore value
final Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.Button01);
button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View v) {
Toast.makeText(rtestactivity.this, mysemaphore,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
public static String mysemaphore ="not received";
public static class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent){
{
mysemaphore = "Received";
}
}
}
}
Always the same. Whatever I do, the receiver is not called - the
debugger steps through the sendintent, but nothing seems to happen.
I write in desperation.
Thankyou for any help you can provide.
