I am trying to get Battery info from my Application following the guidelines at http://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/battery-monitoring.html
This is the method is came up with to check the battery level:
public void sendBatteryInfoMessage(){ IntentFilter iFilter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED); Intent batteryStatus = c.registerReceiver(null, iFilter); int status = batteryStatus.getIntExtra(BatteryManager.EXTRA_STATUS, -1); boolean isCharging = status == BatteryManager.BATTERY_STATUS_CHARGING || status == BatteryManager.BATTERY_STATUS_FULL; int chargePlug = batteryStatus.getIntExtra(BatteryManager.EXTRA_PLUGGED, -1); boolean isUsbCharge = chargePlug == BatteryManager.BATTERY_PLUGGED_USB; boolean isAcCharge = chargePlug == BatteryManager.BATTERY_PLUGGED_AC; int batteryLevel = batteryStatus.getIntExtra(BatteryManager.EXTRA_LEVEL, -1); int scale = batteryStatus.getIntExtra(BatteryManager.EXTRA_SCALE, -1); float batteryPct = batteryLevel / (float) scale; }
c
is initialized as Context
object earlier in the class.
This is the error message I am getting

What I need to know is the meaning of IntentReceiver components are not allowed to register to receive intents
and how to over come it.
Thank you
Instead of:
c.registerReceiver(null, iFilter)
use:
c.getApplicationContext().registerReceiver(null, iFilter)
The Context
that is passed to onReceive()
is blocked from calling registerReceiver()
, even with a null
BroadcastReceiver
.
