Hi,
I had tried initially by dynamically using registering the receivers
using the registerReceiver(). I get the callback when I the
application is in the foreground. The problem I faced was that, when I
exit the application, I never got a callback on the receiver when I
try to trigger it from my service class.
>From my service, I call:
Intent intent=new Intent(Consts.INTENT_UPDATE);
this.sendBroadcast(intent);
My receiver in my Activity class looks like this:
private BroadcastReceiver updateReceiver=new BroadcastReceiver() {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(Consts.INTENT_UPDATE.equals(intent.getAction()))
{
update();
}
}
};
I do not unregister my receivers at onDestroy() and register during
onCreate().
Is there something I am missing.
Thanks,
Priyank
