How to unregister BroadcastReceiver

by

Edit:

For an Activity:

In order to register your broadcast receiver from within your app, first, remove the <receiver> tag from your AndroidManifest.xml file. Then, call registerReceiver(BroadcastReceiver receiver, IntentFilter filter) in your onResume(). Use unregisterReceiver(BroadcastReceiver receiver) in your onPause() to unregister the Broadcast receiver.

For a Service:

Remove the receiver tag from the manifest file. You can then register your Broadcast receiver with the same method in the onCreate() and unregister in the onDestroy().

EDIT: Sample Code:

public class MyActivity extends Activity {
  private final BroadcastReceiver mybroadcast = new SmsBR();

  public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();

    IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
    filter.addAction("android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED");
    registerReceiver(mybroadcast, filter);
  }

  public void onPause() {
    super.onPause();

    unregisterReceiver(mybroadcast);
  }
}
