Hello everybody.
Carter, did you find out what was the problem?
I am having exact same issue.
the receivers are installed with no problems, however they do not
receive SCREEN_ON or SCREEN_OFF broadcasts for some reason, unless I
do everything programatically.
Here is the receiver snippet from my manifest:
<receiver android:name=".ScreenOnBroadcastReceiver"
android:process=":remote">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SCREEN_ON"></action>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<receiver android:name=".ScreenOffBroadcastReceiver"
android:process=":remote">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SCREEN_OFF"></action>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
Ideas are appreciated!
Thanks :-)
