BroadcastReceiver Class

Definition

Base class for code that receives and handles broadcast intents sent by android.content.Context#sendBroadcast(Intent).

[Android.Runtime.Register("android/content/BroadcastReceiver", DoNotGenerateAcw=true)]
public abstract class BroadcastReceiver : Java.Lang.Object

Remarks

Base class for code that receives and handles broadcast intents sent by android.content.Context#sendBroadcast(Intent).

You can either dynamically register an instance of this class with Context#registerReceiver Context.registerReceiver() or statically declare an implementation with the android.R.styleable#AndroidManifestReceiver &lt;receiver&gt; tag in your AndroidManifest.xml.

Constructors

Name Description
BroadcastReceiver()
BroadcastReceiver(IntPtr, JniHandleOwnership)

A constructor used when creating managed representations of JNI objects; called by the runtime.

Properties

Name Description
AbortBroadcast

Returns the flag indicating whether or not this receiver should abort the current broadcast.

Class

Returns the runtime class of this Object.

(Inherited from Object)
DebugUnregister

Return the last value given to #setDebugUnregister. -or- Control inclusion of debugging help for mismatched calls to Context#registerReceiver(BroadcastReceiver, IntentFilter) Context.registerReceiver().

Handle

The handle to the underlying Android instance.

(Inherited from Object)
IsInitialStickyBroadcast

Returns true if the receiver is currently processing the initial value of a sticky broadcast -- that is, the value that was last broadcast and is currently held in the sticky cache, so this is not directly the result of a broadcast right now.

IsOrderedBroadcast

Returns true if the receiver is currently processing an ordered broadcast.

JniIdentityHashCode

Gets the identity hash code assigned to this Java peer by the interop runtime.

(Inherited from Object)
JniManagedPeerState (Inherited from JavaObject)
JniPeerMembers

Gets the JNI metadata used to invoke members of this Java peer.

PeerReference

Gets the JNI object reference for this Java peer.

(Inherited from Object)
ResultCode

Retrieve the current result code, as set by the previous receiver. -or- Change the current result code of this broadcast; only works with broadcasts sent through Context#sendOrderedBroadcast(Intent, String) Context.sendOrderedBroadcast.

ResultData

Retrieve the current result data, as set by the previous receiver. -or- Change the current result data of this broadcast; only works with broadcasts sent through Context#sendOrderedBroadcast(Intent, String) Context.sendOrderedBroadcast.

SentFromPackage

Returns the package name of the app that initially sent this broadcast.

SentFromUid

Returns the uid of the app that initially sent this broadcast.

ThresholdClass

This API supports the Mono for Android infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

ThresholdType

This API supports the Mono for Android infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Methods

Name Description
ClearAbortBroadcast()

Clears the flag indicating that this receiver should abort the current broadcast.

Clone()

Creates and returns a copy of this object.

(Inherited from Object)
Construct(JniObjectReference, JniObjectReferenceOptions) (Inherited from JavaObject)
Dispose()

Releases the resources held by this Java peer.

(Inherited from Object)
Dispose(Boolean)

Releases the resources held by this Java peer.

(Inherited from Object)
DisposeUnlessReferenced() (Inherited from JavaObject)
Equals(Object) (Inherited from JavaObject)
Equals(Object)

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

(Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()

Returns a hash code value for the object.

(Inherited from Object)
GetResultExtras(Boolean)

Retrieve the current result extra data, as set by the previous receiver.

GoAsync()

This can be called by an application in #onReceive to allow it to keep the broadcast active after returning from that function.

InvokeAbortBroadcast()

Sets the flag indicating that this receiver should abort the current broadcast; only works with broadcasts sent through Context#sendOrderedBroadcast(Intent, String) Context.sendOrderedBroadcast.

JavaFinalize()

Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.

(Inherited from Object)
Notify()

Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.

(Inherited from Object)
NotifyAll()

Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.

(Inherited from Object)
OnReceive(Context, Intent)

This method is called when the BroadcastReceiver is receiving an Intent broadcast.

Provide a binder to an already-bound service.

SetHandle(IntPtr, JniHandleOwnership)

Sets the Handle property.

(Inherited from Object)
SetOrderedHint(Boolean)

For internal use, sets the hint about whether this BroadcastReceiver is running in ordered mode.

SetPeerReference(JniObjectReference, JniObjectReferenceOptions) (Inherited from JavaObject)
SetResult(Result, String, Bundle)

Change all of the result data returned from this broadcasts; only works with broadcasts sent through Context#sendOrderedBroadcast(Intent, String) Context.sendOrderedBroadcast.

SetResultExtras(Bundle)

Change the current result extras of this broadcast; only works with broadcasts sent through Context#sendOrderedBroadcast(Intent, String) Context.sendOrderedBroadcast.

ToArray<T>()

(Inherited from Object)
ToString()

Returns a string representation of the object.

(Inherited from Object)
UnregisterFromRuntime()

(Inherited from Object)
Wait()

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being <em>notified</em> or <em>interrupted</em>.

(Inherited from Object)
Wait(Int64, Int32)

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being <em>notified</em> or <em>interrupted</em>, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.

(Inherited from Object)
Wait(Int64)

Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being <em>notified</em> or <em>interrupted</em>, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
