In my Service class I wrote this
private static void sendMessageToActivity(Location l, String msg) {
Intent intent = new Intent("GPSLocationUpdates");
// You can also include some extra data.
intent.putExtra("Status", msg);
Bundle b = new Bundle();
b.putParcelable("Location", l);
intent.putExtra("Location", b);
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(context).sendBroadcast(intent);
}
and at the Activity side we have to receive this Broadcast message
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(getActivity()).registerReceiver(
mMessageReceiver, new IntentFilter("GPSLocationUpdates"));
By this way you can send message to an Activity.
here mMessageReceiver is the class in that class you will perform what ever you want….
in my code I did this….
private BroadcastReceiver mMessageReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// Get extra data included in the Intent
String message = intent.getStringExtra("Status");
Bundle b = intent.getBundleExtra("Location");
lastKnownLoc = (Location) b.getParcelable("Location");
if (lastKnownLoc != null) {
tvLatitude.setText(String.valueOf(lastKnownLoc.getLatitude()));
tvLongitude
.setText(String.valueOf(lastKnownLoc.getLongitude()));
tvAccuracy.setText(String.valueOf(lastKnownLoc.getAccuracy()));
tvTimestamp.setText((new Date(lastKnownLoc.getTime())
.toString()));
tvProvider.setText(lastKnownLoc.getProvider());
}
tvStatus.setText(message);
// Toast.makeText(context, message, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
};
