BroadcastReceiver for unplug of headphone

Question

Hi i am working on an application that generate an event when ever the headphone is removed from the mobile phone. I have created a broadcast receiver with receive method as

public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        String action = intent.getAction();
        Log.i("Broadcast Receiver", "Hello");
        if( (action.compareTo(Intent.ACTION_HEADSET_PLUG))  == 0)   //if the action match a headset one
        {
            int headSetState = intent.getIntExtra("state", 0);      //get the headset state property
            int hasMicrophone = intent.getIntExtra("microphone", 0);//get the headset microphone property
            if( (headSetState == 0) && (hasMicrophone == 0))        //headset was unplugged & has no microphone
            {

                    //do whatever
            }
        }           

    }

Calling this method as follows

 IntentFilter receiverFilter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_HEADSET_PLUG);
        HeadSetBroadCastReceiver receiver = new HeadSetBroadCastReceiver();
        registerReceiver( receiver, receiverFilter );

also i have register this in manifest as

   <receiver android:name=".HeadsetBroadCastReceiver">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_HEADSET_PLUG"/>
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

and permission

But this doesnot works can anyone guide me through this?

Answer 1

it's tricky point but you can use BroadCast as the Following working well with me in your Activity

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    myReceiver = new HeadSetReceiver();
} 

and in onResume() Method register your Broadcast

public void onResume() {
    IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_HEADSET_PLUG);
    registerReceiver(myReceiver, filter);
    super.onResume();
}

then Declare your BroadCast in your Activity

private class HeadSetReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_HEADSET_PLUG)) {
            int state = intent.getIntExtra("state", -1);
            switch (state) {
            case 0:
                Log.d(TAG, "Headset unplugged");
                break;
            case 1:
                Log.d(TAG, "Headset plugged");
                break;
            }
        }
    }
}

Hope it's Help ,,,
