Android Experts,
I am trying to write a simple receiver that will receive the
BOOT_COMPLETED broadcast, and in turn register a location change
listener. I know the receiver is transient, and has a short lifespan.
Once the receiver dies, will my listener still continue to be
registered, or do I have to write a (perpetual) service to register
the listener?
My code snippet for the receiver is
-------------------------------------------
public class LocationReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.d("PreciseLocator", "===In Receiver, starting listener");
LocationManager lm =
(LocationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 1000L,
500.0f, new DroidLocationListener());
}
......
-------------------------------------------
And my manifest looks like follows. Can I have just a receiver,
without an activity in the manifest?
-------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
package="com.preciseinc.PreciseLocator"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/
app_name">
<receiver android:name=".LocationReceiver"
android:enabled="true">
<intent-filter>
<action
android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"></action>
<category
android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" />
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"></uses-
permission>
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"></uses-
permission>
</manifest>
-------------------------------------------
Any and all help appreciated.
Regards,
Raj.
