Here is the problem. My program is running perfect in Android 6.0. After update the device to android 7.0. Pendingintent can not pass the parcelable data to boradcast reveiver. Here is the code.
Fire the alarm
public static void setAlarm(@NonNull Context context, @NonNull Todo todo) {
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(context.ALARM_SERVICE);
Intent intent = new Intent(context, AlarmReceiver.class);
intent.putExtra("KEY_TODO", todo);
PendingIntent alarmIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, todo.remindDate.getTime(), alarmIntent);
}
Todo is a Parcelable class while todo is the instance I need in notification.
In Broadcastreceiver, I cannot getParcelable data.
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Todo todo = intent.getParcelableExtra("KEY_TODO");
}
Here is the result of intent when I debug
enter image description here
I dont know why the intent only contains a Integer that I never put it in. Where is the Parcelable todo.
This code has no problem in android 6.0, but can not run in 7.0
Quoting myself:
Custom Parcelable
classes — ones unique to your app, not a part
of the Android framework — have had intermittent problems over
the years when used as Intent
extras. Basically, if a core OS process
needs to modify the Intent
extras, that process winds up trying
to recreate your Parcelable
objects as part of setting up the
extras Bundle
for modification. That process does not have your
class and so it gets a runtime exception.
One area where this can occur is with AlarmManager
. Code that used
custom Parcelable
objects with AlarmManager
that might have worked
on older versions of Android will not work on Android N.
The most efficient workaround that I know of is to manually convert the Parceable
yourself into a byte[]
and put that in the Intent
extra, manually converting it back into a Parcelable
as needed. This Stack Overflow answer
shows the technique, and this sample project provides a complete working sample.
The key bits are the conversions between the Parcelable
and the byte[]
