I am trying to program a simple app, and during this I got stuck on this alarm thing. I am very new to android and programing at all, so my mistake might just be a dumb one, but no matter what i try the 'onReceive' method won't start. If this has any influence- I am programing for android 2.3.3 (API 10).
this is my activity:
package itamar.fruchter.sendi;
import java.util.Calendar;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlarmManager;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.content.DialogInterface.OnClickListener;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.telephony.SmsManager;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class Simple extends Activity implements android.view.View.OnClickListener
{
public EditText etTo;
public EditText etTxt;
public Button btnSend;
private PendingIntent pendingIntent;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.semd);
Log.i("iiiiiiiiii", "at least");
etTo = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.pn);
etTxt = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.text);
btnSend = (Button) findViewById(R.id.send);
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu)
{
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.simple, menu);
return true;
}
@Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
if(v.equals(btnSend))
{
String pn = etTo.getText().toString();
String txt = etTxt.getText().toString();
Intent myIntent = new Intent(this, Reciver.class);
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putCharSequence("Number", pn);
bundle.putCharSequence("Message", txt);
myIntent.putExtras(bundle);
pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this.getApplicationContext(), 0, myIntent, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
calendar.add(Calendar.SECOND,30);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, calendar.getTimeInMillis(), pendingIntent);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Message: "+txt+" for Number: "+pn, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.i("iiiiiiiiii", "sent");
}
}
}
(with the layout there shouldn't be any problem, beacause when I run the app I see the toast)
this is my BroadcastReceiver:
package itamar.fruchter.sendi;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.telephony.SmsManager;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class Reciver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
Log.i("iiiiiiiiii", "recived");
Toast.makeText(context, "recived", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
Now here, I don't get any of those messages.
Just to be on the safe side, this is my Manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="itamar.fruchter.sendi"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="10"
android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS"/>
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:enabled="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
<activity

android:label="@string/app_name" >
</activity>
<activity
android:name="itamar.fruchter.sendi.SendActivity"
android:label="@string/title_activity_send" >
</activity>
<activity
android:name="itamar.fruchter.sendi.Simple"
android:label="@string/title_activity_simple" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<service android:name="mService" android:enabled="true" />
<reciver android:name="Reciver">
</reciver>
</application>
</manifest>
First, I am not sure if it is a typo, but you should use .Receiver
instead of Receiver
in your Manifest and add an intent-filter
<receiver android:name=".Reciver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.example.broadcast.message" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
And then instantiate the intent with this:
static final STRING BROADCAST_ACTION_STRING="com.example.broadcast.message";
Intent myIntent = new Intent(BROADCAST_ACTION_STRING);
Other code is fine. The receiver should be able to work with the above change.
