Error Receiving broadcast Intent ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED
android, android-intent, batterylevel, broadcastreceiver
Solution
You've got an inexistent Resource in line 180 of your Main.java.
My guess is it's `R.string.temp` but since you haven't posted even the name of your file, it's just that: a guess.
And I just saw the trouble:
tempText.setText(R.string.temp + temp);
The documentation allows setting the text directly to a resid. However, by adding temp to that value, you altered it and are asking for an inexistent resource.
One way to correct it would be to:
String resourceTemp = context.getString(R.string.temp);
tempText.setText(resourceTemp + " " + temp);
Problem
I am trying to get battery information through the use of a broadcast receiver and store it in a database. I'd prefer to get it only when I specifically want it, but I am willing to keep a database of just running records of it. Anyways, The problem is my app crashes with this error: ``` java.lang.RuntimeException: Error receiving broadcast Intent { act=android.intent.action.BATTERY_CHANGED flg=0x60000010 (has extras) } at android.app.LoadedApk$ReceiverDispatcher$Args.run(LoadedApk.java:765) at android.os.Handler.handleCallback(Handler.java:615) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:92) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:137) at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:4918) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:511) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:1004) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:771) at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: String resource ID #0x7f04006b at android.content.res.Resources.getText(Resources.java:242) at android.widget.TextView.setText(TextView.java:3773) at com.Eddiecubed44.drunk.buddy.Main$2.onReceive(Main.java:180) at android.app.LoadedApk$ReceiverDispatcher$Args.run(LoadedApk.java:755) ``` And when i say crash, I mean crash and burn. My phone restarts itself every time I run it with this code in it. I've stepped through with the debugger and haven't caught the error. I create the broadcast Receiver in my main activity class as so: ``` BroadcastReceiver batteryReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { int temp = -1; TextView tempText; tempText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.mybatttemptxt); temp = intent.getIntExtra(BatteryManager.EXTRA_TEMPERATURE, -1); tempText.setText(R.string.temp + temp); ``` This is how im registering the Broadcast Receiver. ``` this.registerReceiver(this.batteryReceiver, new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED)); ``` I do this in my onStart Method. The thing is, I can run my app if i replace this.batteryReceiver with null, but the app does nothing. The receiver is not called or used anywhere else in this app. If it matters heres what I'm using: testing on rooted galaxy s3 app is using target lvl15 api min 11.
