ON & OFF Android Broadcastreceiver

Image
By User



Im creating an app in which i do a task when i receive a call (detect RINGING state with a BROADCASTRECEIVER ).My question is that,can I register and unregister (literally;ON and OFF) his broadcastreceiver from an activity having 2 buttons;say one for ON and another for OFF?





Does it require the BROADCASTRECEIVER to be declared inside the activity?If I do so,can i register and unregister it,via the activity?

    this is the way i would do it:


    I define a separate BroadcastReceiver and define it in android manifest rather than using it in your activity. Doing this allows my broadcast receiver to work independent of activity
    Write an activity with two buttons (On/Off) and save its action as a flag in shared preferences
    update the broadcastreceiver's onReceive method and check if a flag in preference is set to true then handle the intent, otherwise ignore it

    //use to enable the broadcast receiver
    packageManager.setComponentEnabledSetting(componentName,
    PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_ENABLED, PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);


    //use to disable the broadcast receiver
    packageManager.setComponentEnabledSetting(componentName,
    PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED, PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
