Android has intent action for broadcast receiver. BroadCast receiver will be trigger when it listen any action which registered within it.
Now we will take one example :
That we need to listen the action of "whenever any bluetooth device connect to our device". For that android has it fix action android.bluetooth.BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_CONNECTED
So you can get it via manifest & registration also
BY Manifest Registration:
Put this in your manifest
<receiver android:name="MyBTReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.bluetooth.BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_CONNECTED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
Create MyBTReceiver.class
public class MyBTReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if(intent.getAction().equals("android.bluetooth.BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_CONNECTED")){
Log.d(TAG,"Bluetooth connect");
}
}
}
That was the simplest broadcast Receiver.
Now,
if you are only interested in receiving a broadcast while you are running, it is better to use registerReceiver(). You can also register it within your existing class file. you also need to unregister it onDestroy()
.
here, you dont need any broadcast registration in manifest except activity registration
For example
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
IntentFilter filter1;
@Override
public void onCreate() {
filter1 = new IntentFilter("android.bluetooth.BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_CONNECTED");
registerReceiver(myReceiver, filter1);
}
//The BroadcastReceiver that listens for bluetooth broadcasts
private final BroadcastReceiver myReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if(intent.getAction().equalsIgnoreCase("android.bluetooth.BluetoothDevice.ACTION_ACL_CONNECTED")) {
Log.d(TAG,"Bluetooth connect");
}
}
};
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
unregisterReceiver(myReceiver);
}
}
