Receiver not registered error when onDestroy function called

Question

When I create class that extends BrodcastReceiver and register it. Error Unable to destroy activity, Receiver not registered: null onDestroy() function in MainActivity When call unregisterReceiver.

onCreate():

ConnectionChangeReceiver connectionChangeReceiver = new ConnectionChangeReceiver();
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION);
registerReceiver(connectionChangeReceiver, filter);

onDestroy():

@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
    Log.v("YourActivity", "onDestroy");
    unregisterReceiver(connectionChangeReceiver);
    super.onDestroy();
}

ConnectionChangeReceiver Class:

public class ConnectionChangeReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
    @Override
    public void onReceive( Context context, Intent intent )
    {
        Toast.makeText(context, "CONN", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}

manifest: UPDATE: After adding <action android:name="android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE" />

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.mamrezo.mapapp" >

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

Answer 1

I always register the receiver in the onStart and unregister it in the onStop. I knew this thanks to this answer : https://stackoverflow.com/a/24391706/1203797

If its still not working in your case, simply wrapunregisterReceiver(connectionChangeReceiver); a try-catch block would be the answer, as stated in the link i posted above.

Or you can register it in the manifest, example :

    <receiver android:name=".ConnectionChangeReceiver" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>
