Android Experts, I am trying to write a simple receiver that will receive the BOOT_COMPLETED broadcast, and in turn register a location change listener. I know the receiver is transient, and has a short lifespan. Once the receiver dies, will my listener still continue to be registered, or do I have to write a (perpetual) service to register the listener?
My code snippet for the receiver is ------------------------------------------- public class LocationReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { Log.d("PreciseLocator", "===In Receiver, starting listener"); LocationManager lm = (LocationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 1000L, 500.0f, new DroidLocationListener()); } ...... ------------------------------------------- And my manifest looks like follows. Can I have just a receiver, without an activity in the manifest? ------------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.preciseinc.PreciseLocator" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0"> <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/ app_name"> <receiver android:name=".LocationReceiver" android:enabled="true"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"></action> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </receiver> </application> <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"></uses- permission> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"></uses- permission> </manifest> ------------------------------------------- Any and all help appreciated.
