Android BroadcastReceiver within Activity

Question

I\'m just trying this little sample project, all it does: Activity one has a Button that sends a Broadcast. Activity two displays a toast when received. Below is the code, t

Answer 1

Extends the ToastDisplay class with BroadcastReceiver and register the receiver in the manifest file,and dont register your broadcast receiver in onResume() .

<application
  ....
  <receiver android:name=".ToastDisplay">
    <intent-filter>
      <action android:name="com.unitedcoders.android.broadcasttest.SHOWTOAST"/>
    </intent-filter>
  </receiver>
</application>

if you want to register in activity then register in the onCreate() method e.g:

onCreate(){

    sentSmsBroadcastCome = new BroadcastReceiver() {

        @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
            Toast.makeText(context, "SMS SENT!!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    };
    IntentFilter filterSend = new IntentFilter();
    filterSend.addAction("m.sent");
    registerReceiver(sentSmsBroadcastCome, filterSend);
}
