I'm trying to send a broadcast intent with extras using ADB to a BroadcastReceiver that is registered at runtime using Context.registerReceiver(BroadcastReceiver, IntentFilter).
This is what I'm sending from shell to a USB connected device with ADB daemon enabled and reachable:
adb shell am broadcast -a app.example.ACTION -ei EXTRA_INT 1 -es EXTRA_STRING "1234"
Anyway that intent is not received by my broadcast receiver that instead receives the intent if I remove all the extras and run:
adb shell am broadcast -a app.example.ACTION
Then my BroadcastReceiver is notified with the sent intent, but I need to add extras to that intent.
I've read from some sources that when you provide extras to am broadcast the -n option is mandatory (see Xi Wei's comment here) making the intent explicit, but I don't know how I can refer to a run time registered BroadcastReceiver that is an anonymous class using the explicit intent format provided on ADB documentation com.example.app/.ExampleActivity, I think that it is not possible.
This is the code that creates the BroadcastReceiver:
public class MyClass {
public void register() {
initReceiver();
getContext().registerReceiver(mBarcodeReadBroadCast, new IntentFilter("app.example.ACTION"));
}
private void initReceiver() {
mBarcodeReadBroadCast = new BroadcastReceiver() {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
}
};
}
}
Maybe there are some other options to send an intent to a runtime registered BroadcastReceiver with extras, does anyone know how to do that?
