Broadcast是广播,和Android内的事件一样,它可以发出一个广播(事件),注册了该广播接收器(事件监听器)的所有组件都会接收到该广播,从而调用自己的响应方法(事件响应处理)。
下面将详细的阐述如何发送Broadcast和使用BroadcastReceiver过滤接收的过程:
首先在需要发送信息的地方,把要发送的信息和用于过滤的信息(如Action、Category)装入一个Intent对象,然后通过调用 sendOrderBroadcast()或sendStickyBroadcast()方法,把 Intent对象以广播方式发送出去。
当Intent发送以后,所有已经注册的BroadcastReceiver会检查注册时的IntentFilter是否与发送的Intent相匹配,若匹配则就会调用BroadcastReceiver的onReceive()方法。所以当我们定义一个BroadcastReceiver的时候,都需要实现onReceive()方法。
代码如下:
package com.example.broadcastdemo; import android.app.Activity; import android.content.Intent; import android.content.IntentFilter; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.View; import android.widget.Button; public class MainActivity extends Activity { private Button btnSendBroadCast, btnRegBCR, btnUnregBCR; private final MyBC mybc = new MyBC(); @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); btnSendBroadCast = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSendBroadCast); btnRegBCR = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnRegBCR); btnUnregBCR = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnUnregBCR); btnSendBroadCast.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { // Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MyBC.class); Intent i = new Intent(MyBC.ACTION); i.putExtra("txt", "Hello, LJY!"); sendBroadcast(i); } }); //Register a BroadCast Receiver btnRegBCR.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { // an IntentFilter is an address. registerReceiver(mybc, new IntentFilter(MyBC.ACTION)); } }); btnUnregBCR.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { unregisterReceiver(mybc); } }); } }
package com.example.broadcastdemo; import android.content.BroadcastReceiver; import android.content.Context; import android.content.Intent; public class MyBC extends BroadcastReceiver { public static final String ACTION = "com.example.broadcastdemo.intent.action.MyBC"; @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub System.out.println("onReceive data = " + intent.getStringExtra("txt")); } }
