"You can not receive [ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED] through components declared in manifests, only by explicitly registering for it with Context.registerReceiver(). See ACTION_BATTERY_LOW, ACTION_BATTERY_OKAY, ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED, and ACTION_POWER_DISCONNECTED for distinct battery-related broadcasts that are sent and can be received through manifest receivers. " (from the docs for Intent) So, you either need to register this from some existing component, or switch to one of those other broadcast Intents. The rationale: Android does not want to start up a whole 'nuther process just because the battery level changed. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Development Wiki: http://wiki.andmob.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
