So, I'm trying to get a handle on BroadcastReceivers and Intent filters. I have a custom Dialog that I create in MyActivity. In the Dialog, I have a Button. When the button gets clicked, I want to send a broadcast that MyActivity's receiver will pick up. Here's what I have right now:
//MyActivity.java
class myActivity extends Activity {
//MyDialog dialog initialized in onCreate
...
private class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
//toast "Broadcast received"
}
}
}
//MyDialog.java
class MyDialog extends Dialog {
//m_context = incoming context from MyActivity
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
Button button1 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
button1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnCLickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction("android.intent.action.RUN");
m_context.sendBroadcast(intent);
}
});
}
}
//AndroidManifest.xml
<activity android:name=".MyActivity" />
<receiver android:name="MyReceiver" android:enabled="true">
<intent-filter >
<action android:name="android.intent.action.RUN"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
When I press button1, the app crashes. Can anyone lead me in the right direction?
