I'm developing an app that saves some data when system date changes.
I tried to use a BroadcastReceiver to receive the Intent android.intent.action.DATE_CHANGED, but for some reason it doesn't work.
Here is my code for the Receiver:
public class BroadcastDateChangedReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction().equals("android.intent.action.DATE_CHANGED")) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Date changed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}
In AndroidManifest.xml:
<receiver android:name=".BroadcastDateChangedReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.DATE_CHANGED"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
When I change the system date (either manually or it changes automatically) the Toast doesn't appear.
What is wrong with my code?
Should I use a different approach to determine a system date change?
