I'm developing an application in Android Studio. This application has a fragment, say A, that launches an activity, say B, when user clicks. The activity B launches a broadcast, there reads a received SMS and gets a code. This code has to be sent to the activity B, and the activity B has to write the code in an editText.
So, the application receives a code verification for login... how can I do it?
It's possible, but not with sendBroadcast()
. Instead, you'll have to use sendOrderedBroadcast()
.
However, this does require you to setup a receiving BroadcastReceiver, since by default, only BroadcastReceivers can listen to a Broadcast, so even if an Activity is allowed to send a Broadcast, it can't listen to one, even if it's feedback.
But if you don't want to use sendOrderedBroadcast()
, there's nothing stopping you from having your BroadcastReceiver send a result Broadcast to a BroadcastReceiver that you've setup in your Activity.
Yes, both solutions sounds extremely similar, because the requirements to allow an Activity to be able to listen to a broadcast is the same.
