contentobserver

I want to detect when the user installs or deletes an app, and I didn't find a BroadcastReceiver that does this. In my app, I get the information about the installed apps with the class PackageManager , but I don't want to scan the apps periodically. Is there any BroadcastReceiver that does this? Or any ContentObserver ? Is it possible to get a notification that an app has been installed or removed? You can register a BroadcastReceiver using Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_ADDED (and also Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_REMOVED and/or Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_CHANGED if necessary). For instance, void

I'm trying to use a Content Observer to update a Service when any changes happen to the sqlite database in my app. I'm confused as to what to do, so I put together some code below. Usually, Content Observers are used with contacts or mediaplayer with a background service. In my research I read that it can be used with the sqlite database on the phone. Questions: 1. Since Sqlite database does not have a uri, what info do I replace People.CONTENT_URI in this.getContentResolver().registerContentObserver (People.CONTENT_URI, true, contentObserver); 2. In my research I didn't find any code that

What is difference between ContentObserver and DatasetObserver ? When one or another should be used? I get Cursor with single row. I want to be notified about data changes - eg. when row is updated. Which observer class should I register? If you are using a ContentProvider (via ContentResolver or Activity.managedQuery() ) to get your data, simply attach a ContentObserver to your Cursor . The code in onChange() will be called whenever the ContentResolver broadcasts a notification for the Uri associated with your cursor. Cursor myCursor = managedQuery(myUri, projection, where, whereArgs, sortBy)

I am trying to make an application to count the number of outgoing SMS messages from a phone. Presently I have the following code: private void listenForSMS(){ Log.v("SMSTEST", "STARTED LISTENING FOR SMS OUTGOING"); Handler handle = new Handler(){}; SMSObserver myObserver = new SMSObserver(handle); ContentResolver contentResolver = getContentResolver(); contentResolver.registerContentObserver(Uri.parse("content://sms"),true, myObserver); } private class SMSObserver extends ContentObserver{ int count = 0; String lastMessage = null; public SMSObserver(Handler handler) { super(handler); } public

I have issue with both FIleObserver and ContentObserver not working in Android Marshmallow. I am using this thing for detecting changes that happening inside a folder. I set run time permissions for marshmallow. But after that also it shows no events. It works perfectly in other versions. Please help me to solve this problem. First I tried Content Resolver inside Service for detect folder changes in background. public class TestService extends Service { @Override public void onCreate() { super.onCreate(); } @Override public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) { initial();

This question already has an answer here: Practical way to find out if SMS has been sent 3 answers I'm trying to extract the sent SMS. I know there is no BroadcastReciver for this. So I've found that I can use ContentObserver to listen changes in the db. How can I implement this? My objective is to get only the new sms sent and send it via POST on the DB Thanks Here is a code fragment to do this. The key is to use a selection that looks only for "type = outgoing messages". Also since the content DB can get triggered by any change, keep track (somehow) of what has already been processed. int
