Best example of Abstract class in Android

Question

I am trying to design one Abstract class and method in Android and call those methods by extending the class from my parent Activity class but I don't how to call my abstract method.

MyCode :

MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends MyActivity {

    @Override
    public void onTest() {

       Log.d("MyLog", "onTest");

    } }

MyActivity.java

public abstract class MyActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
         setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    }

public abstract void onTest(); }

So this is the above code snippet , please let me know , how to use Abstract in Android because i have never done this before.

Register and Unregister any BroadcastReceiver

Here is an example which you can use to register and un-register ANY BroadcastReceiver using an Abstract class:

BaseClass:

public abstract class BaseReceiverActivity extends AppCompatActivity{

    private BroadCastReceiver receiver;
    private IntentFilter filter;

    public abstract BroadCastReceiver getReceiver();
    public abstract IntentFilter getFilter();

    @Override
    public void onStart(){
        super.onStart();
        configureReceiver()
        registerReceiver(receiver, filter);
    }

    @Override
    public void onStop(){
        super.onPause();
        unregisterReceiver(receiver);
    }

    private void registerMyReceiver(){        
        registerReceiver(receiver, filter);    
    }

    private void configureReceiver(){
         receiver = getReceiver();
         filter   = getFilter();
    }

}

Child class:

public class WifiScanner extends BaseReceiverActivity{

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle sis){
         super.onCreate(sis);
         setContentView(R.layout.yourLayout);
    }

    @Override
    public BroadCastReceiver getReceiver(){
         return new YourReceiver();
    }

    @Override
    public IntentFilter getFilter(){
         return IntentFilter(WifiManager.SCAN_RESULTS_AVAILABLE_ACTION));
    }

}
