I know this question has been asked many times but i am unable to find the right direction. I have registered BroadcastReceiver
which I want to trigger when the Android System Date
is changed automatically but its not firing. I have used the following approaches:
1
IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter();
intentFilter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_TIME_CHANGED);
registerReceiver(new DateTimeChangeReceiver (), intentFilter);
2-> AndroidManifest.xml
<receiver android:name=".DateTimeChangeReceiver ">
<intent_filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.DATE_CHANGED"/>
</intent_filter>
</receiver>
DateTimeChangeReceiver
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class DateTimeChangeReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Toast.makeText(context, "Date changed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
In both cases, reciever is not being triggered. It only shows the notification when manually time is being set. Can anyone please point me out what I am missing?
Thanks in advance.
There are broadcasts for those events. ACTION_TIME_CHANGED and ACTION_DATE_CHANGED ACTION docs at http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#ACTION_DATE_CHANGED
A potential bug and some implementation details available at http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2880
I've made a nice way to detect and update the UI whenever needed, when the date has changed. It's based on the broadcastReceiver, which should be registered on the onStart method, and unregistered on the onStop method (unregistration is done automatically in my code).
build.gradle
implementation 'com.jakewharton.threetenabp:threetenabp:1.0.5'
LocalDateEx.kt
object LocalDateEx {
/**an alternative of LocalDate.now(), as it requires initialization using AndroidThreeTen.init(context), which takes a bit time (loads a file)*/
@JvmStatic
fun getNow(): LocalDate = Calendar.getInstance().toLocalDate()
}
fun Calendar.toLocalDate(): LocalDate = LocalDate.of(get(Calendar.YEAR), get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1, get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH))
DateChangedBroadcastReceiver.kt
abstract class DateChangedBroadcastReceiver : BroadcastReceiver() {
private var curDate = LocalDateEx.getNow()
/**called when the receiver detected the date has changed. You should still check it yourself, because you might already be synced with the new date*/
abstract fun onDateChanged(previousDate: LocalDate, newDate: LocalDate)
@Suppress("MemberVisibilityCanBePrivate")
fun register(context: Context, date: LocalDate) {
curDate = date
val filter = IntentFilter()
filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_TIME_CHANGED)
filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_DATE_CHANGED)
filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_TIMEZONE_CHANGED)
context.registerReceiver(this, filter)
val newDate = LocalDateEx.getNow()
if (newDate != curDate) {
curDate = newDate
onDateChanged(date, newDate)
}
}
/**a convenient way to auto-unregister when activity/fragment has stopped. This should be called on the onStart method of the fragment/activity*/
fun registerOnStart(activity: AppCompatActivity, date: LocalDate, fragment: Fragment? = null) {
register(activity, date)
val lifecycle = fragment?.lifecycle ?: activity.lifecycle
lifecycle.addObserver(object : LifecycleObserver {
@OnLifecycleEvent(Lifecycle.Event.ON_STOP)
fun onStop() {
Log.d("AppLog", "onStop, so unregistering")
lifecycle.removeObserver(this)
activity.unregisterReceiver(this@DateChangedBroadcastReceiver)
}
})
}
override fun onReceive(context: Context, intent: Intent) {
val newDate = LocalDateEx.getNow()
Log.d("AppLog", "got intent:" + intent.action + " curDate:" + curDate + " newDate:" + newDate)
if (newDate != curDate) {
Log.d("AppLog", "cur date is different, so posting event")
val previousDate = curDate
curDate = newDate
onDateChanged(previousDate, newDate)
}
}
}
MainActivity.kt
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
var today = LocalDateEx.getNow()
val receiver = object : DateChangedBroadcastReceiver() {
override fun onDateChanged(previousDate: LocalDate, newDate: LocalDate) {
Log.d("AppLog", "onDateChangedEvent:" + newDate + " previousDate:" + previousDate)
if (newDate != today) {
today = newDate
textView.text = "date updated:" + today
}
}
}
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
Log.d("AppLog", "onCreate")
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
textView.text = today.toString()
}
override fun onStart() {
super.onStart()
receiver.registerOnStart(this, today)
}
}
activity_main.xml
<FrameLayout

Alternative to the above, using Android's Calendar class only, without the need to use another library:
fun Calendar.equalInDateAlone(cal: Calendar): Boolean =
get(Calendar.YEAR) == cal.get(Calendar.YEAR) && get(Calendar.MONTH) == cal.get(Calendar.MONTH) && get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) == cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)
fun Calendar.resetTimeFields(): Calendar {
set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0)
set(Calendar.SECOND, 0)
set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0)
set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0)
return this
}
abstract class DateChangedBroadcastReceiver : BroadcastReceiver() {
private var curDate = Calendar.getInstance().resetTimeFields()
/**called when the receiver detected the date has changed. You should still check it yourself, because you might already be synced with the new date*/
abstract fun onDateChanged(previousDate: Calendar, newDate: Calendar)
@Suppress("MemberVisibilityCanBePrivate")
fun register(context: Context, date: Calendar) {
curDate = (date.clone() as Calendar).resetTimeFields()
val filter = IntentFilter()
filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_TIME_CHANGED)
filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_DATE_CHANGED)
filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_TIMEZONE_CHANGED)
context.registerReceiver(this, filter)
val newDate = Calendar.getInstance().resetTimeFields()
if (!newDate.equalInDateAlone(curDate)) {
curDate = newDate.clone() as Calendar
onDateChanged(date, newDate)
}
}
/**a convenient way to auto-unregister when activity/fragment has stopped. This should be called on the onStart method of the fragment/activity*/
@Suppress("unused")
fun registerOnStart(activity: AppCompatActivity, date: Calendar, fragment: Fragment? = null) {
register(activity, date)
val lifecycle = fragment?.lifecycle ?: activity.lifecycle
lifecycle.addObserver(object : LifecycleObserver {
@OnLifecycleEvent(Lifecycle.Event.ON_STOP)
fun onStop() {
// Log.d("AppLog", "onStop, so unregistering")
lifecycle.removeObserver(this)
activity.unregisterReceiver(this@DateChangedBroadcastReceiver)
}
})
}
override fun onReceive(context: Context, intent: Intent) {
val newDate = Calendar.getInstance().resetTimeFields()
// Log.d("AppLog", "got intent:" + intent.action + " curDate:" + curDate.toSimpleDateString() + " newDate:" + newDate.toSimpleDateString())
if (!newDate.equalInDateAlone(curDate)) {
// Log.d("AppLog", "cur date is different, so posting event")
val previousDate = curDate
curDate = newDate
onDateChanged(previousDate, newDate)
