My problem is that when I try to read a checkbox preference state from a different activity on bootup then send a status bar notification. Then when the device boots the I get a force close error message popup then when I go into the error log I don't understand what happens.
The code for the broadcast receiver is shown below:
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if(intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED)){
//this creates a reference to my preferences activity
Prefs prefsC = new Prefs();
SharedPreferences prefs = context.getSharedPreferences("Prefs", 0);
int status = Integer.parseInt(prefs.getString("bootup", "-1"));
if(status > 0){
//notifyNS is a method that sends the status bar notification
prefsC.notifyNS("", R.drawable.n);
//the setCheckedNS method is just a custom method I made to set the state of a checkbox preference
prefsC.setCheckedNS("icon", false);
}else{
prefsC.setCheckedNS("enable", false);
prefsC.setCheckedNS("icon", false);
prefsC.setCheckedNS("bootup", false);
}
}
}
So could you help me solve the issue on why it force closes on bootup. So basically what I want to do is read a checkbox preference state on bootup then send a status bar notification.
This is my error log response:

So I have no clue what to do from here.
Alright I have figured out what I have done wrong. What it is how I was connecting the context to the notificationManger construct method and Intent construct method.
Here is my new and revised code that works: `public class BootupReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private static final boolean BOOTUP_TRUE = true;
private static final String BOOTUP_KEY = "bootup";
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if(getBootup(context)) {
Toast toast2 = Toast.makeText(context, "getBootup", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toast2.show();
NotificationManager NotifyM = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Notification Notify = new Notification(R.drawable.n,
"NSettings Enabled", System.currentTimeMillis());
Notify.flags |= Notification.FLAG_NO_CLEAR;
Notify.flags |= Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT;
RemoteViews contentView = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.notification);
Notify.contentView = contentView;
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, Toggles.class);
PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
Notify.contentIntent = contentIntent;
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(context, "Notify about to be sent", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toast.show();
int HELO_ID = 00000;
NotifyM.notify(HELLO_ID, Notify);
Toast toast1 = Toast.makeText(context, "Notify sent", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toast1.show();
}
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent();
serviceIntent.setAction("com.brandon.labs.nsettings.NotifyService");
context.startService(serviceIntent);
}
public static boolean getBootup(Context context){
return PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context).getBoolean(BOOTUP_KEY, BOOTUP_TRUE);
}
} `
Since this question has gotten more than 100 views I thought it would be nice of me to post the code that works properly.
Note: I don't know why the closing curly bracket for the class isn't showing with the rest of the code it's a stackoverflow error
