I have this problem only on Samsung Galaxy SIII running Android 4.1.1. There is no problem on Samsung Galaxy Ace and Samsung Galaxy Y. The broadcast SMS received is not firing up, when SMS is received. No other SMS app is installed on the phone. I am using the following code to receive the SMS broadcast smsReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { Log.d(TAG, "Inside onReceive of smsReceiver"); Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras(); Object[] messages = (Object[]) bundle.get("pdus"); SmsMessage[] sms = new SmsMessage[messages.length]; //

I am trying to detect USB connection in my app, that is, whether or not USB is connected to device. It's being tested on Marshmallow 6.0.1 (sdk23) But I'm unable to receive the broadcast actions ACTION_USB_DEVICE_ATTACHED or ACTION_USB_DEVICE_DETACHED.. I tried using both the dynamic way and the AndroidManifest.xml way, neither worked.. Here's my code: AndroidManifest.xml : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.gokulnc.blah_blah" android:installLocation="auto" android:versionCode="15" android:versionName="1.5.1"

I developed an app and some people complains that it takes too much battery, it is the second most consuming process after the screen. However, in some devices it does not consumes that much battery. All the work my app do is in a service. The service is sticky and is running all the time (the android system may kill it when has low resources or pause it when device go to sleep), it has listener to the accelerometer as long as the screen is on, it is not foreground service and does not hold wakelock. Can someone tell me why it takes a lot of battery? And why is this happening only on some of

In Android OS, in " Settings " --> " Location services ", there is a toggle button named " Access to my location " which can be used to disable & enable location info access from apps. Currently, I am developing a location service application. I am wondering, how can I listen to this setting in my Android project? Is there any broadcast receiver I can use to know right away when user disable or enable " Access to my location " ? If there isn't any broadcast receiver for it, how can I listen to this change in my Android project? This works for me: Add receiver to the Manifest file: <receiver

I am interested in using pending intents with local broadcasts. To make myself clear, I am using the following for registering receivers and sending broadcast: android.support.v4.content.LocalBroadcastManager . I have a local broadcast receiver in a service which works. I am trying to send local broadcasts from a custom notification layout which includes click-able items. The local broadcast receiver - just receives simple action intents. I was trying something like this to no avail: Intent backintent = new Intent("GOTO_START_BROADCAST"); PendingIntent backIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast

How to manually call broadcast receiver to execute the code inside of onReceive method without replicating the code twice. I thought of having the code in utility singleton call and call that method by having util class instance from anywhere. But is that any other way to call that onReceive method directly or else broadcast intent problematically. android:exported="false" //Additional parameter of receiver when defining in manifest file. Another question is what is
