Hi guys, I want to write an App that monitors my paired bluetooth connection in the following way: If a file comes from a paired source it should be stored.

Hi, I have seen several examples on how to implement a BroadCastReceiver, but how should I implement a Service who has to react on some pending Intent (for example incoming phone call)... Actually I was wondering about the same "prbolem" but in an Activity.. You obviously have a class which extends a Service 9or an Activity) so it cannot...
I have an Android application with a main activity that is the tabhost. I'm adding multiple tabs to the tabhost with an intent to several activities. My problem is that these activities are not created (onCreate is not called) until I click on the tab. This is a problem because I need to register broadcastreceivers: there may be broadca...

Hello everyone, I would like to know the best practices for running a Service every day at 4AM. The way I think I should be doing it is to create a new repeating alarm using AlarmManager and having it run the service at 4AM. Problem is, I'm not sure where to put the code to set the alarm. Do I do it in my main activity as one of th...
I would like to add some sort of icon that a user can press in order to flip a variable in a broadcast receiver my app uses. Basically I just can a icon that they can press which will flip the value of a boolean in the broadcast receiver, and change the icon to indicate something happened. I think I need to do something with a widget? ...

I would like to send a notification in a broadcast receiver. the notification should launch the default sms app. Ultimately I want to create my own notifications for incoming text messages consistent with what the deault app, Handcent, and Chomp do.

Hey everyone, I have a BroadcastReceiver set up in my Android application that receives SMS receive events. This works fine, but I want to be able to toggle SMS receiving on and off by toggling the BroadcastReceiver on and off.

It is then saved as a Serializable to a file. This file is read when my app starts. THIS IS THE APPROACH I TOOK FOR THE MOMENT (not using a Service...
Hi, I have an activity, it needs to response to a broadcast event. Since an activity can not be a broadcast receiver at the same time, I made a broadcast receiver. My question is: how can I notify the activity from the broadcast receiver? I believe this is a common situation, so is there a design pattern for this? Thanks. BR, Henry ...
I've got an activity which uses an AlarmManager to call a BroadcastReceiver at a particular point in time. This all works fine, except when I try to add some extra strings to the intent when calling the BroadcastReceiver, they always come up as null on the other end. Activity code: Intent intent = new Intent(this, ScheduleReceiver....

I'd like to maintain a hash table in a broadcast receiver. If I understand BroadcastReceiver's life cycle currently it could get killed wiping out my member variables. What would be the ideal strategy for retrieving a hash table from a previous run of onReceive in the BroadcastReceiver? ...
