Your AsyncTask is not registering the BroadcastReceiver, as there is no registerReceiver() method on AsyncTask. Rather, some Context is registering the BroadcastReceiver. Given your error, presumably it is an Activity, with your AsyncTask as a non-static inner class. You really need to change that AsyncTask to be a static inner class or a standalone Java class, as otherwise you will have all sorts of challenges when it comes to orientation changes and other configuration changes. Along the way, that will help make it more explicit that the Activity is the one who is registering the BroadcastReceiver, and that the receiver's events will be delivered on the main application thread. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in Oslo: http://bit.ly/fjBo24 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
