Android :: Cannot Receive Broadcasts For Package Intents

Oct 20, 2009

I am trying to register a Broadcast Receiver to receive broadcast events for the package events. Following is the code and my receiver in the manifest file. The log statment never happens, but I can clearly see the same broadcast firing for "HomeLoaders" (the Launcher) debug statements.

public class IntentListener extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.i("INTENT LISTNER:", intent.getAction()); } }

<receiver android:name="IntentListener" android:enabled="true" android:exported="true">
<intent-filter> <data android:scheme="package"></data>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_ADDED"></action>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_ADDED"></action>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_CHANGED"></action>
</intent-filter> </receiver>

Android :: Alarm Clock Broadcasts Any Intents?

Feb 11, 2009

Does the Alarm Clock broadcast any intents? I would like to be able to have my application automatically launch after a person's alarm clock goes off, and they press "dismiss" (rather than "sleep"). I assume that would require a receiver looking for a broadcast of some kind.

Android :: Cannot Receive Broadcasts For Outgoing Calls

Aug 10, 2009

I have started developing a tool, which should react on an outgoing call or sms and also to be started at boot time. The start at boot time does work properly, but I'm not able to receive the broadcasts for the outgoing calls.

Who can tell me, what is wrong with my code? For this, I added two receivers in my manifest and implemented the broadcast receivers:
manifest.xml: <receiver android:enabled="true" android:name=".BootUpReceiver"
android:permission="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED">
<intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /> </intent-filter> </receiver>
<receiver android:name=".TelephoneViewer" android:enabled="true" android:exported="true"
android:permission=""> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
<action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.NEW_OUTGOING_CALL" />
</intent-filter> </receiver>
TelephoneViewer.java: public class TelephoneViewer extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.d(this.getClass().getSimpleName(), "Telephoneviewer.onReceive()");
Toast.makeText(context,"TelephoneViewer.onReceive()", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); }

Android :: How To Receive Broadcasts Of Ringer Mode Action?

Jul 19, 2010

I have the following broadcast receiver:
public class MyRingModeReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Logger.iLog("In my Receiver"); } }

I then have a service that onCreate does the following:
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
filter.addAction("android.media.RINGER_MODE_CHANGED");
registerReceiver(new MyRingModeReceiver() , filter);

When I place a call to the emulator and use the volume keys to modify (silence) the ringer
nothing happens.

Android :: Can't Register To Receive Screen Off Intents From Manifest

Aug 24, 2010

I have an application that listens for screen off, and user present intents. Since you cant register to receive screen off intents from the manifest, I am registering them in a service. Do I really need to have a whole service to ensure that I always get notified of when the screen shuts off, and the user unlocks the phone? Seems really wasteful :-(

The code I use in my service:

@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
Log.d(TAG, "Service created.");
// register receiver that handles user unlock and screen off logic
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_USER_PRESENT);
filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF);
BroadcastReceiver mReceiver = new ScreenReceiver();
registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter);
}

Android :: SMS Broadcasts And Logs

May 16, 2009

I want to know whenever someone is called, calls, smsed or smses. I figured for the calls I'd use the phone state change to trigger when I should check the CallLog provider again. I couldn't see any direct way of getting broadcasts from the CallLog. Did I miss it?

For SMSes I'm having more trouble. I'd like to know whenever and SMS is sent or received. Being able to receive STATUS_ON_SIM_READ and STATUS_ON_SIM_SENT would be great, but from what I've read in the Sms Manager that would depend on the sending application. I can't seem to find any evidence of a default one that android places when it sends. I also couldn't find an sms log provider or anything similar.

Android :: Package Manager Get Size Of An Installed Package?

Feb 12, 2009

i work on custom Application Manager and try to get the disk usage of installed package. So PackageManager.getpackageSizeInfo was removed from SDK on 0.9->1.0 update android.content.pm. PackageStats(String pkgName)(cacheSize, codeSize, dataSize) returns always "0" Size of phys. file (java.io.File) in "/data/app" seems wrong/not completely. Has anybody any solution to get the total disc space used by an installed package?

Android :: Targeting Broadcasts To Specific Receiver

Jul 3, 2009

I am trying to get the intent "android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" sent only to the receiver "com.android.mms.transaction.MmsSystemEventReceiver" as this triggers the sms notification to be updated and removed if there is no longer any unread sms's. The issue I have is I need to make sure the broadcast is only sent to the class above. If it goes to other receivers the phone could end up in an unknown state or something strange. The code below does not seem to work.

Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setAction("android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED");
intent.setClassName("com.android.mms", ".transaction.MmsSystemEventReceiver");
activity.sendBroadcast(intent);

This code does work but since it goes to all receivers I have noticed some errors starting to show up in logs etc.
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction("android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED");
activity.sendBroadcast(intent);

Android :: Broadcasts Receivers And Permissions In Two Applications?

Sep 15, 2010

I have two applications, one of which (B) implements a broadcast receiver. The application (A) which sends the broadcast, binds a permission to it which the receiver (B) shall possess. The problem is now: If I install the receiver (B) first and the sender (A) afterwards, the receiver will never receive the broadcast. I assume this happens because the installation of the receiver somewhere fails when it comes to the "uses permission" part of the manifest (because this permission is not yet registered/defined).

However, this issue should be resolved as soon as the sender (which defines the permission in the manifest) is installed, but unfortunately isn't. It does not even help to re-install the receiver. The only way to resolve the issue is to completely uninstall the receiver application and do a fresh install. Is this behaviour intended ("not a bug, a feature")?

Android :: Doing Broadcasts With HTTP Server Push Over WiFi?

Apr 2, 2010

We are designing a system with a PC base station and 100 Android mobiles communicating over WiFi. They will use XLM-RPC as the method of mobile to base station communication. However, sometimes the base station needs to broadcast a message to all mobiles. Should we use "http server push" for this, i.e., have the base station leave the connections open to all the mobiles? Is there a better way? Publish-subscribe is possible, but doesn't seem mature on Android yet.

Android :: Broadcasts As Communication Path Between Views And Activity

Apr 15, 2009

I have custom view and once some action occur in it (say touch/key event) I'd like to call some code in my activity. My question is if broadcasts (intent filters/broadcast receivers) are good communication mechanism for such thing? If not, what is normal/android preferred way to do it?

Android :: Alarm Manager Broadcasts Canceled When Application Killed?

May 15, 2010

I have two BroadcastReceiver registered. When the app is closed they both fire at the appropriate times and do the appropriate things. If the app is closed then killed (say with an AppKiller), the receivers never receive their broadcasts, and nothing happens. Presumably the same thing happens if the parent app is killed due to low memory, so how do I ensure those broadcasts are fired/received. The API states that even if the app is killed it should fire, does anyone else have experience with this situation? If it helps my manifest is:

<!-- receivers for AlarmManager -->
<receiver android:exported="true" android:label="Shift roster updating calendar."
android:name="com.skooter.shiftroster.backend.service.UpdateCalendar" >
</receiver> <receiver android:exported="true" android:label="Shift roster checking alarm."
android:name="com.skooter.shiftroster.backend.service.SetWakeup" >
</receiver>
and nothing esoteric is going on in the AlarmManager/BroadcastReceivers

Android :: Can't Access Package Private Fields In Android.widget Package?

Oct 7, 2010

I'm attempting to override an Android View class to tweak the functionality just slightly. But I need to modify a field that does not have a setter method. I've placed the subclass in a package called android.widget. Why can't I access any of the package-private member fields? I notice that the compiler says they "cannot be resolved," rather than not being accessible. Does this have something to do with how Android.jar is built?

Android :: How Different Do Broadcast Intents Need To Be?

Oct 30, 2010

I have an IntentService that broadcasts an Intent each time if finishes some work. Each broadcast Intent is identical except that it contains a Bundle with some result information from the IntentService. Evidently, having different data in the Bundle is not enough for Android to think it's a different Intent. If the IntentService broadcasts two of these Intents back-to-back, the second one is dropped as a duplicate.

I know I've read about this behavior in this forum in the past but I can't find in the documentation where this duplicate elimination logic is described in detail. Mostly, I just want to differentiate the Intents enough that they are not considered duplicates. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Android :: Tabs And Intents

Aug 15, 2010

I have a auto-complete textbox in which the user makes a selection. From here I want to load a tabbed layout which is based on the user selection. The problem is I cant figure out a clean way to pass that selection to each of the tabs. At the moment I can pass an intent to the 'tabhost' activity and then pass to each child activity explicitly, however this just seems like messy iterative code to me! So basically how can I pass my intent data bundles to the tabs activities cleanly & efficiently! Psuedo code is also very welcome.

Android :: Intents Alarmmanager

Aug 7, 2010

I am trying to create intents that will be set using alarmmanager. Currently, I can do this with one intent, add extra data to it (strings, but i send them as one string with a seperator), and everything works fine and goes off at the correct time. However, when I try to send multiple intents like this, they are overwritten and only one goes off at the correct time. How can i structure my intents so that they appear different to the alarmmanager (i think they are getting deleted when filterIntent() is run).

long story short- putExtra() makes all the intents look the same still... how can i make them look different so they wont get deleted (and keep track of them in case i want to delete a specific one)

Android :: Passing Values With Intents

Nov 17, 2010

I have searched and searched and I just can't get this code to work. I have a main.xml layout and a setting.xml. I have some values I would like the Settings.class to change in my main apps class.Three string to be exact. I have tried this simple test code in my main app class.

settings.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(v.getContext(), Settings.class);
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);}});

//Then a function
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent){
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, intent);
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
String value = extras.getString("myKey");
if(value!=null){
Log.d("hmmm",value);}}}

In my settings.class I have the following
returnHome.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.putExtra("myKey", "YEAH");
setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);
finish();}});

Back in main app class it is not getting logged. Like I said I have three string in the main class that I want settings class to change and send back.

Android :: Blocking Intents From Launching?

Apr 6, 2010

On the market, there's an application called App Protector, which seems to effectively block the launching of configured activities until a password is correctly provided. By default, it blocks access to itself (not very interesting), Settings, and a few others. I wrote my own app to launch settings (rather than doing so through the home screen) and App Protector continued to do the job it claims to do.
When an activity that is protected is started, App Protector's password input activity is shown instead. Once the correct password is provided, the activity that was started comes to the front.
First -- does anyone know how this app is able to get between the rest of the system and the activities it protects? I would like to do something along these lines in my own application as well. Perhaps this app is receiving a broadcast about other activities coming to the foreground, and when the foreground activity is protected, it forces itself to the foreground?
Second -- does anyone know how well this technique will stand up to attack? Are there other ways to circumvent, where start Activity(...) fails to? It seems that one could use adb to un install it, thus removing its protection easily, but if I pursue my plans here, the app will be a part of a device's firmware (which, I assume, offers some protection against its apps being installed?)

Android :: Activity / Intents InTabs

Sep 19, 2010

Developers. I am a newbie to Android but a seasoned developer in UI, Java , and ECLIPSE. I am trying to do something I believe is very simple yet I am struggling. I have two tabs, A & B. I want to put an Activity in each tab. I want to have the 'B' Activity live inside 'A' so I can access it within 'A'. 'A' has a clock and every second that passes I need to update information in 'B', even if 'A' is not currently shown. I put 'B' into the 2nd tab as follows:TabSpec mapInfo=tabs.newTabSpec("tag3"); Intent intent = new Intent(this, MathleteMapActivity.class)mapInfo.setContent(intent); mapInfo.setIndicator("Course Map");tabs.addTab(mapInfo); I am totally confused on how to get the "MathleteMapActivity" Activity from the Intent 'intent'. There appears no way to do this. Can anyone please recommend a cleaner way to do this knowing what I am trying to do?
