Android Question [RESOLVED] SDK 34, Broadcast Receiver, Unable to start.

Jmu5667 · Jul 17, 2024

Hello

I will try to be very specific in relation to this issue. I have a service, svc_br_receiver, and in that service I use broadcast receiver lib. The lib has a method called registerReceiver. Under SDK 34 it fails with the following:

B4X:

svc_br_receiver_service_create (java line: 300)

I have looked this up on the web and found the following; https://stackoverflow.com/questions...r-not-exported-should-be-specified-when-a-rec

I do not know if the lib is supported anymore https://www.b4x.com/android/help/broadcastreceiver.html

The intents I need to receive dont work when they are in the manifest (static) only in a service(dynamic). There are no background services, notifications etc, just intent receiving.

Suggestions ?

Regards

John.

You are asking about this library: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/broadcastreceiver.12493/#content

Use this sub to register the receiver instead of calling br.RegisterReceiver:

B4X:

Private Sub RegisterReceiver(br As BroadCastReceiver, Exported As Boolean)
    Dim p As Phone
    If p.SdkVersion < 33 Then
        br.registerReceiver("")
    Else
        Dim r As Reflector
        r.Target = br
        Dim filter As Object = r.GetField("filter")
        Dim receiver As Object = r.GetField("receiver")
        Dim ctxt As JavaObject
        ctxt.InitializeContext
        ctxt.RunMethod("registerReceiver", Array(receiver, filter, IIf(Exported, 2, 4)))
        r.SetField("isRegistered", "true", "java.lang.boolean")
    End If
End Sub

Depends on Phone, Reflection, JavaObject libraries.
Note that I haven't fully tested it.

To unregister the receiver with SDK34

B4X:

Sub unRegisterReceiver(pBR As BroadCastReceiver)

    Dim p As Phone
    If p.SdkVersion < 33 Then
        pBR.unregisterReceiver
    Else
        Dim r As Reflector
        r.Target = pBR
        Dim receiver As Object = r.GetField("receiver")
        Dim ctxt As JavaObject
        ctxt.InitializeContext
        ctxt.RunMethod("unregisterReceiver", Array(receiver))
        r.SetField("isRegistered", "false", "java.lang.boolean")
    End If
End Sub

I think that the regular BR.unregisterReceiver will also work. No need for special code.

I had that in code already and it failed with receiver not register, so I used unRegisterReceiver without any issues. Thanks for your help on this one.
