Android Onreceive Not Called

I'm trying to follow this example: What is the correct way for sharing data among AppWidgetProvider and RemoteViewsService.RemoteViewsFactory As such, I have a RemoteViewsFactory t

Solution 1:

For your own Intent broadcast to work, you have to register your BroadcastReceiver programmatically. So register your receiver as

LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).registerReceiver(YourWidgetReceiver, newIntentFilter("your_intent_action"));

And then send your broadcast as

Intentintent=newIntent("your_intent_action");
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(getApplicationContext()).sendBroadcast(intent)

;

Hope this helps.
