I found that the "onReceive" of broadcast intent can't start an activity explicitly. Is there any way to start an activity when I receive a broadcast? eg: I need an interaction UI with user when specific package has been installed in the system.

I'm building a service that sends a broadcast intent when some value changes. The service sends the broadcast like this:
Intent broadcastIntent = new Intent(); broadcastIntent.setAction("nl.vu.contextframework.NEWREADING"); broadcastIntent.setData(Uri.parse("context://"+cer.getKey())); broadcastIntent.putExtra("reading",cer); broadcastIntent.addCategory("nl.vu.contextframework.CONTEXT"); sendBroadcast(broadcastIntent);
In some Activity (in a different process), I'm tryint to receive this broadcast as follows:
IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter();
intentFilter.addDataScheme("context");
intentFilter.addCategory(CATEGORY_CONTEXT);
registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver() {
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.d(TAG,"Received intent "+intent); }
}, intentFilter);
I am new to android platform.please help me out how the Broadcast Receiver and Intent Filter behaves in android.please explain in simple line or with example.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a project where I need to run the BroadcastReceiver for a third party library for a specific Intent. I also want to run some of my own code when the Intent is broadcast. If I supply my own BroadcastReceiver for the same Intent, it seems that only, one or the other runs, but not both, depending on which appears first in the AndroidManifest.xml file. Is it possible to register multiple BroadcastReceivers for the same Intent in the same application and have them all run? AndroidManifest.xml snippet

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an application which is playing audio.I have some customers that use this application while driving and who also use the Google Maps application to get directions to the places where they are driving.They have asked me to change my application to pause my audio while the Google Maps application is giving them audio navigation instructions. I am trying to find out if I can register a Broadcast Receiver to let me know when the Google Maps application is giving audio navigation instructions, or if there is a way to detect when any other application has started or stopped playing audio.It seems that this type of functionality would be beneficial for Google Maps and for any type of application which is playing media, so I am hoping that Google Maps is broadcasting events when it starts and stops giving audio navigation instructions, or that there is a generic way to discover when overlapping audio sources are trying to play.

As a consequence, my main Activity has declared an intent filter on ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE for image/* mimetypes and can result in issuing a new Intent with the same action and data type using Activity.startActivity(Intent).
Is there a way to exclude my own activity from the list of apps that is displayed to the user after the startActivity() call ?
A WAP PUSH (Broadcast)receiver basically doesn't need any UI. It is a silence application which handles the Push messages based on actions/ mimetype without needing any intreaction with user, I've tried to test it in a SMS receiver by removing the Activity from the project and it stopped receiving the SMS messages. My question: Does all android applications "MUST" define a activity? Is there a way to hide it?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an application with contains multiple activities. The main activity will start the others ( use startActivity() ) depends on user event, when an activity close, it calls finish() and return back to main activity. It appears to behavior like that.
However, the "problem" I see is main activity's onCreate function is called every time. I think the the main activity should be placed in the activity stack and simply push to front when others exit, therefore only onResume, onStart are called. Is there some flag I need to set or I misunderstand the activity behaviro?
In child activity, besides calling finish() or startActivity for main activity, what is other way to move main activity to front?
I created an application which enables the user to set whether he wants to receive notification while the application runs in background mode. If the notifications are enabled an activity should be started (the dialog should appear on the screen).
I tried to enabled it the following way:
CODE:...........
This is the method from main activity. When onPause() is executed isRunningInBackground is set true.
When I tried to debug it when the main application was running in the background the line
startActivity(intent) had no effect (the activity didn't appear).
Does anyone know how to midify the logic in order to start an activity from the main activity when the main activity is running in the background (after onPause() is called)?
I am trying to launch the Main Activity from a broadcast receiver. Can anyone guide me as to how I can do it? I always get "Process is Bad" message.
