Android communicate between activity and broadcast receiver?

I think building the receiver as a private subclass of your activity is the way to go here. This way you can control events and data from your activity. Then you can just create one instance of it and register the receiver from code as you did above Note that you don't have to register your receiver in both the manifest and code.

One of these is enugh - the manifest is basically a "static" registration while doing it in code allows dynamic registration at runtime. Also when you register in the manifest, a new instance of your receiver will automatically be created from the system, executed and terminated. Doing the reg in code allows to point to one specific instance.

Thanks a lot for the clarification. – Maggie Jul 30 at 10:32.

I have an activity which displays some data fetched from the server. If no connection is available, activity displays some cached data; if connection is available, activity fetches data and displays it. It all works as expected.

Now, I would like to make my activity reload the data as soon as the connection occurs. Now, I am confused as what to do next. When onReceive method is executed, how to make my activity aware of that?

I know I could start a new activity, but that's not really what I want. Should I declare ConnectionChangeReceiver as a private class of my activity? Or is there any other solution?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
