I am creating two apps - first one sends a broadcast, second one should get it.
App that sends:
Permissions declared in manifest:
<permission-group
android:name="com.example.smbmp1.permissions"
android:label="my permissions group"/>
<permission
android:name="com.example.smbmp1.permissions.PRODUCT_BROADCAST_PERMISSION"
android:label="PRODUCT_BROADCAST_PERMISSION"
android:permissionGroup="com.example.smbmp1.permissions"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.example.smbmp1.permissions.PRODUCT_BROADCAST_PERMISSION"/>
Code fragment responsible for sending:
private fun populateProduct(product: Product) {
Intent().also { intent ->
intent.action = "com.example.smbmp1.PRODUCT_BROADCAST"
intent.putExtra("id", product.id)
intent.putExtra("name", product.name)
intent.putExtra("price", product.price)
intent.putExtra("quantity", product.quantity)
sendBroadcast(intent, Manifest.permission.PRODUCT_BROADCAST_PERMISSION)
}
}
App that receives:
Registered receiver:
<receiver
android:name=".ProductReceiver"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true"
android:process=":remote"
android:permission="com.example.smbmp1.permissions.PRODUCT_BROADCAST_PERMISSION">
<intent-filter >
<action android:name="com.example.smbmp1.PRODUCT_BROADCAST" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
Also declared permissions manifest (I was trying also without declaring in second app):
<permission-group
android:name="com.example.smbmp1.permissions"
android:label="my permissions group"/>
<permission
android:name="com.example.smbmp1.permissions.PRODUCT_BROADCAST_PERMISSION"
android:label="PRODUCT_BROADCAST_PERMISSION"
android:permissionGroup="com.example.smbmp1.permissions"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.example.smbmp1.permissions.PRODUCT_BROADCAST_PERMISSION"/>
Simple receiver code:
package com.example.smbmp2
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver
import android.content.Context
import android.content.Intent
import android.widget.Toast
class ProductReceiver : BroadcastReceiver() {
override fun onReceive(context: Context, intent: Intent) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Receiver", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
}
}
Problem is, that receiver is not triggered. I went through all stack overflow questions and none of the answers helped. I were trying to set category to an intent, setting flags etc.
Any suggestions?
EDIT
I have also tried to register Broadcast Receiver in a dynamic way:
package com.example.smbmp2
import android.content.IntentFilter
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity
import android.os.Bundle
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
private lateinit var productReceiver: ProductReceiver
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
}
override fun onStart() {
super.onStart()
productReceiver = ProductReceiver()
registerReceiver(productReceiver, IntentFilter("com.example.smbmp1.PRODUCT_BROADCAST"), Manifest.permission.PRODUCT_BROADCAST_PERMISSION, null)
}
override fun onStop() {
super.onStop()
unregisterReceiver(productReceiver)
}
}
