Broadcast Receiver in kotlin

Question

How to use register and create a Broadcast Receiver in Android in Kotlin. Any advice... In Java, you can create it by declaring it as a Broadcast Receiver. But in Kotlin I am not able to find Broadcast Receiver ...well if it is there then how to use it.

Answer 1

you can do it in the following way

Create a broadcast receiver object in your activity class

val broadCastReceiver = object : BroadcastReceiver() {     override fun onReceive(contxt: Context?, intent: Intent?) {            when (intent?.action) {            BROADCAST_DEFAULT_ALBUM_CHANGED -> handleAlbumChanged()            BROADCAST_CHANGE_TYPE_CHANGED -> handleChangeTypeChanged()         }     } } 

Register broadcast receiver in onCreate() function of your activity

 LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this)                     .registerReceiver(broadCastReceiver, IntentFilter(BROADCAST_DEFAULT_ALBUM_CHANGED)) 

unregister it in ondestroy function of your activity

LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this)                 .unregisterReceiver(broadCastReceiver)
