[android-developers] Re: onReceive not triggering for SEND / image
Here is the nudge you wanted...
Your intent filter needs to be set on an activity. The code you
posted shows it as a Broadcast Receiver.
Change:
to
and move all your stuff from onRecieve to onCreate. That should take
you forward.
Good luck!

[android-developers] Re: onReceive not triggering for SEND / image
I know i'm bumping this, but i really think it's something simple i've
missed. Trying to avoid definitions i might be using incorrectly:
This is what i have:
An app that turns up in the "share" menu of the gallery.
Selecting my app starts it as if you would start it normally
This is what i don't have:
A way to react to the image i was looking at: i do not know where to
define code to do stuff with the picture.
Just a small nudge in the right direction is enough hopefully,
please? :D

[android-developers] Re: onReceive not triggering for SEND / image
Thanks!
THen i'm just confused about how to react to the intent -> at some
point the images i'm sharing should be triggering some sort of event,
so i can handle it. That's what i was trying to do with the receiver.
Could you point me how to have a functions that reacts as an event-
handler of the received 'SEND'?

[android-developers] Re: onReceive not triggering for SEND / image
SEND is an activity action. All you need to do is have it in your manifest
for an activity, as you have shown, and you know it is working because you
see it in the share menu, and when you select your item in the share menu
your activity will be launched with the intent. That is all there is to
it. There is no broadcast receiver involved at all, anywhere.

[android-developers] Re: onReceive not triggering for SEND / image
FOr some more information: I did try to add the intent to an
"receiver" in the manifest XML on a tip i got, but this not only
didn't work to start my receiver class, it also removed the "share"
option from the image i was trying to do something with... So not so
big a succes.
I'm sure it's a small thing i've missed (i hope ;) ), so if anyone can
point me towards how what where?
