Broadcast Receiver用于接收并处理广播通知(broadcast announcements)。多数的广播是系统发起的,如地域变换、电量不足、来电来信等。程序也可以播放一个广播。程序可以有任意数量的 broadcast receivers来响应它觉得重要的通知。broadcast receiver可以通过多种方式通知用户:启动activity、使用NotificationManager、开启背景灯、振动设备、播放声音等,最 典型的是在状态栏显示一个图标,这样用户就可以点它打开看通知内容。
通常我们的某个应用或系统本身在某些事件(电池电量不足、来电来短信)来临时会广播一个Intent出去,我们可以利用注册一个Broadcast Receiver来监听到这些Intent并获取Intent中的数据。
1. 我们自己的程序主动广播Intent
- final String BROADCAST = "com.forrest.action.mybroadcast";
- Intent intent = new Intent(BROADCAST); // 对应setAction()
- intent.putExtra("data_title", "来短信啦");
- intent.putExtra("data_text", "美女你好,晚上可有空");
- sendBroadcast(intent);
2.接收广播
接收broadcast需要注册一个Broadcast Receiver,并且要注册一个Intent Filter来制定Broadcase Receiver是对哪些Intent进行监听。
(1)注册Broadcast Receiver
一个Broadcast receiver只有一个简单的回调函数:onReceive(Context curContext, Intent broadcastMsg),当一个广播消息被Receiver监听到时,Android会调用它的onReceive()方法,并将包含消息的Intent对象传给它。onReceive中代码的执行时间不要超过5s,否则android会弹出超时dialog。 此时是否另开一个线程来处理耗时的操作呢?
Receiver只在onReceive方法执行时是激活状态,只要onReceive一返回,Receiver就不再是激活状态了。Receiver进程是被一个激活状态的broadcast receiver所保护而不被系统终止的,一旦onReceive返回,Receiver进程broadcast receiver所保护而变为一个空进程,空进程是可以在任意时刻被终止的。这就带来了一个问题:当响应一个广播信息的处理十分耗时的时候,那么就应该把这个处理放在一个单独的线程里去执行,来保证主线程里的其他用户交互组件能够继续运行,而一旦这么做,当onReceive()唤起一个线程后就会马上返回,这时就会把Receiver进程放到被终止的境地。解决这个问题的方案是在onReceive()里开始一个Service,让这个Service去做这件事情,那么系统就会认为这个进程里还有活动正在进行。
(2)注册/注销Broadcast Receiver
1)在AndroidManifest.xml中注册
- <receiver android:name="Receiver1">
- <intent-filter>
- <!-- 和Intent中的action对应 -->
- <action android:name="com.forrest.action.mybroadcast"/>
- </intent-filter>
- </receiver>
2)在代码中注册
- IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter("com.forrest.action.mybroadcast"); // 和广播中Intent的action对应
- MyBroadcastReceiver br = new MyBroadcastReceiver();
- registerReceiver(new MyBroadcastReceiver(), filter);
3)注销
- unregisterReceiver(br);
3. 示例代码
- public class Receiver1 extends BroadcastReceiver {
- private Context context;
- public static final int NOTIFICATION_ID = 10001;
- public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
- this.context = context;
- showNotification();
- }
- private void showNotification() {
- Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.icon, "来电话啦...", System.currentTimeMillis());
- PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, new Intent(context, MainActivity.class), 0);
- notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, "来电话啦...嘿嘿", "赶紧接电话,否则误大事了", contentIntent);
- NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(
- android.content.Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
- notificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, notification);
- }
- }
- public class Receiver2 extends BroadcastReceiver {
- private Context context;
- @Override
- public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
- this.context = context;
- deleteNotification();
- }
- private void deleteNotification() {
- NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(android.content.Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
- notificationManager.cancel(Receiver1.NOTIFICATION_ID);
- }
- }
- public class MainActivity extends Activity {
- private final String ACTION_SEND = "com.forrest.action.SENDMESSAGE",
- ACTION_CLEAR = "com.forrest.action.CLEARNOTIFICATION";
- public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
- super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
- setContentView(R.layout.main);
- ( (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn1) ).setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
- public void onClick(View v) {
- clickMenuItem(ACTION_SEND);
- }
- });
- ( (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn2) ).setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
- public void onClick(View v) {
- clickMenuItem(ACTION_CLEAR);
- }
- });
- }
- private void clickMenuItem(final String action) {
- Intent intent = new Intent(action);
- sendBroadcast(intent);
- }
- }
