Unregister actions of Broadcast Receiver individually

Is it possible to unregister BroadcastReceiver actions individually?

I have two actions for time and date.

<action android:name="android.intent.action.DATE_CHANGED" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.TIME_CHANGED" />

I want to toggle between them based on user input. 

mReceiver = new MyReceiver();
filter = new IntentFilter();
filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_DATE_CHANGED);
filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_TIME_CHANGED);
registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter);

unregister(mReceiver) unregisters both the actions.

Is it wise to create multiple receiver objects and register with different filters?

Solution

  • Yes, it is fine to create multiple receiver objects and register them separately.
