Hi
I need some help registering and unregistering a broadcastReceiver from a
widget.
When my widget is pressed i start a service with the following code
public void onStart( Intent intent, int startId )
{
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences =
getApplicationContext().getSharedPreferences(SignalSpot.SHARED_PREFS_NAME,
0);
boolean enabled = sharedPreferences.getBoolean("enabled", false);
Log.i(TAG,"Enabled: "+enabled);
//
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPreferences.edit();
Log.i(TAG,"Just before if");
if (!enabled) {
try
{IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
filter.addAction("android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE");
SignalReceiver receiver = new SignalReceiver();
Log.i(TAG,"Not enabled. Attempting to enable");
registerReceiver(receiver, filter);
Log.i(TAG,"Registered reciver");
editor.putBoolean("enabled", true);
editor.commit();
Log.i(TAG,"Commited value");
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Signal Spot Enabled",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.i(TAG,"Toast");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Cannot Enable Signal
Spot.\n" +
"It May already be enabled. Please Try Again",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();}
} else {
try{
SignalReceiver receiver = new SignalReceiver();
Log.i(TAG,"Enabled. Attempting to disable");
unregisterReceiver(receiver);
Log.i(TAG,"Unregistered receiver");
editor.putBoolean("enabled", false);
editor.commit();
Log.i(TAG,"Commited value");
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Signal Spot Disabled",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.i(TAG,"Toast");
}
catch (Exception e)
{Log.i(TAG,e.getMessage());
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Cannot disable Signal
Spot.\n" +
"It May not yet be enabled. Please Try Again",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();}
}
}
the problem is that each time i run this service i initialize SignalReceiver
(my broadcastreceiver) so i am not registering and unregistering the
same broadcastreceiver.
Is there any way around this or a better way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
