I need to implement BroadcastReceiver in a Service class I have created:
public class MyService extends Service
in this class I have to implement a Simulation of Download by using Thread - Sleep when the user presses the button in the MyActivity Class which implements sendBroadcas(). I cannot extends the Service class to BroadcastReceiver as it is already extendes to Service. Can anyone help me to figure it out how to implement this mechanism?
thanks
Have the BroadcastReceiver as a top-level class or as an inner class in your service. And get a reference of the receiver in your service. Like this:
public class MyService extends Service {
BroadcastReceiver mReceiver;
// use this as an inner class like here or as a top-level class
public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// do something
}
// constructor
public MyReceiver(){
}
}
@Override
public void onCreate() {
// get an instance of the receiver in your service
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
filter.addAction("action");
filter.addAction("anotherAction");
mReceiver = new MyReceiver();
registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter);
}
}
