Sending extras to BroadcastReceiver

Question

I have an Activity that runs the following code (time and interval are defined):

Intent buzzIntent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), BuzzReceiver.class);
Pendin         


        

Answer 1

Have you tried calling buzzIntent.putExtra() before you pass buzzIntent to PendingIntent.getBroadcast()?

Answer 2

Set flag FILL_IN_DATA while creating pending intent as below:

PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getBaseContext(), 0, buzzIntent, Intent.FILL_IN_DATA);

You should receive extras in broadcast receiver after this change.

Answer 3

Try following code

Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
int interval= bundle.getInt("interval", -1);

instead of

int interval = intent.getIntExtra("interval", -1);
