I currently listen for changes in the Wi-Fi in my Android application and for the most part it works OK, however when the user has there device is idle/sleep mode, as in when the screen is blank. If they walk into a Wi-Fi area and automatically connect I don't get the intent until the user has turned on the screen. This is not good and leads to complaints about my application. Can anyone help with why I don't get the intent until the screen wakes up?
Here is my code: BroadcastReciever: public class WifiReciever extends BroadcastReceiver{ @Override public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) { String action = arg1.getAction(); if (!action.equals(ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION)){ return; } if (!noConnectivity) { if (aNetworkInfo.getType() == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI) { //Handle connected case Log.e("E", "GOT CONNECTION"); } } else { if (aNetworkInfo.getType() == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI) { //Handle disconnected case Log.e("E", "LOST CONNECTION"); } } } If a running Service I have that as a variable: WifiReciever mConnectionReceiver; And I start and stop the receiver in the service with the following calls: private synchronized void startMonitoringConnection() { IntentFilter aFilter = new IntentFilter(ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION); registerReceiver(mConnectionReceiver, aFilter); } private synchronized void stopMonitoringConnection() { unregisterReceiver(mConnectionReceiver); } I call a WakeLock to make sure that I am getting CPU time like this: pm = (PowerManager) getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE); wl = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, "CicCPULock"); wl.acquire(); However even with all that I never receive the Connectivity changed intent if the screen is blank, it works 100% of the time when the screen is on bit if I a user walks into a Wi-Fi are and connects when the screen is blank I fail to get the intent, is anyone aware of something I am missing? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
