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 <receiver> tag in your AndroidManifest.xml.

Constructors

BroadcastReceiver()
BroadcastReceiver(IntPtr, JniHandleOwnership)	A constructor used when creating managed representations of JNI objects; called by the runtime.

Properties

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	(Inherited from Object)
JniPeerMembers
PeerReference	(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

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)
Dispose()	(Inherited from Object)
Dispose(Boolean)	(Inherited from Object)
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.
PeekService(Context, Intent)	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.
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. (Inherited from Object)
