I have created a broadcast receiver statically by specifying it within
the Manifest, and I have also created the "same" broadcast receiver in
code and have registered it with the application context. The static
way works very well, but the dynamic way does not receive the expected
broadcast. It could be that I am not creating the intent filter
correctly, or that I need to register it with some other context
somewhere. Please see the code examples to see what I am doing. This
is related to receiving data SMS, it works very well on a device using
a broadcast receiver defined in the Manifest. The correct permissions
are set for both examples.
The following is from the Manifest, and the resulting receiver gets
the expected broadcasts:
<receiver android:name=".MyReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.DATA_SMS_RECEIVED" />
<data android:scheme="sms" android:host="localhost"
android:port="6432"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
The following is the code example that doesn't work (it does work with
an intent like "android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" but not for
data sms):
MyReceiver mReceiver = new MyReceiver();
IntentFilter mFilter = new IntentFilter
("android.intent.action.DATA_SMS_RECEIVER"); //also tried an empty
filter
intentFilter.addDataAuthority("localhost", "6432");
intentFilter.addDataScheme("sms");
context.registerReceiver(mReceiver, mFilter);
The question is - why does this broadcast receiver get notified of the
incoming data messages? It seems some other resource is notified when
the Manifest version of the receiver is created...
Thank you,
Squib
