I've been trying to broadcast an intent to a single component. For instance, I have two apps, ExecMount and IntentTest, with manifest intent filters that watch for android.intent.action.MEDIA_MOUNTED. I do:
am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MEDIA_MOUNTED -n mobi.pruss.execmount/mobi.pruss.execmount.OnMount file:///mnt/storage Result: every package registered for it gets a MEDIA_MOUNTED intent. In particular, my IntentTest's broadcast receiver fires, and getIntent() returns "mobi.pruss.intenttest/ mobi.pruss.intenttest.IntentReceiver". Why do I care? Well, I'm doing a root app that needs to notify some other package that they have been replaced (I don't currently want to go into the long story of what I am up to, but it's part of a user profile switcher). For API below 12, that's easy: I just broadcast the PACKAGE_REPLACED intent to everybody. But it would be nice to additionally send MY_PACKAGE_REPLACED for API 12 directly to the package. But I can't. When I broadcast MY_PACKAGE_RECEIVED to a particular component with am, it goes out to everybody. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
