Is it possible to define a broadcast receiver as an inner class in manifest file? [duplicate]

Question

I want to create a broadcast receiver as an inner class in my main activity. But I have problems defining the broadcast receiver in manifest xml file, because android can't find it.

Code:

public class MyActivity extends Activity{     ...      public class Receiver extends BroadcastReceiver{          @Override         public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {             ....         }      }      ... } 

Manifest:

<receiver android:name=".org.danizmax.myapp.MyActivity$Receiver" android:enabled="true">             <intent-filter>                 <action android:name="org.danizmax.myapp.BROADCAST_INITIAL_DATA"></action>             </intent-filter> </receiver> 

I tried with:

• .org.danizmax.myapp.MyActivity$Receiver
• org.danizmax.myapp.MyActivity$Receiver
• .MyActivity$Receiver
• .Receiver

I saw others also having similar problems, but did not find any answers.

So is it possible? If not, what's better way to use broadcast receivers?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible.

The receiver android:name attribute should look like .path.to.class.MyClass$MyInnerClass
