Unable to instantiate receiver, java.lang.IllegalAccessException: access to class not allowed
android, android-intent, broadcastreceiver, intentfilter
Solution
make class `HigherPriorityReceiver` a `public` class
Problem
In the manifest I've declared the receiver element correctly to the best of my knowledge. But the Receiver never gets called when I send out the broadcast. The log cat shows. ``` 07-22 23:51:49.181: E/AndroidRuntime(3799): FATAL EXCEPTION: main 07-22 23:51:49.181: E/AndroidRuntime(3799): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate receiver com.example.orderedbroadcastreceiver.HigherPriorityReceiver: java.lang.IllegalAccessException: access to class not allowed 07-22 23:51:49.181: E/AndroidRuntime(3799): at android.app.ActivityThread.handleReceiver(ActivityThread.java:2333) 07-22 23:51:49.181: E/AndroidRuntime(3799): at android.app.ActivityThread.access$1500(ActivityThread.java:139) 07-22 23:51:49.181: E/AndroidRuntime(3799): at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:1281) 07-22 23:51:49.181: E/AndroidRuntime(3799): at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:99) 07-22 23:51:49.181: E/AndroidRuntime(3799): at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:137) 07-22 23:51:49.181: E/AndroidRuntime(3799): at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:4899) 07-22 23:51:49.181: E/AndroidRuntime(3799): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) 07-22 23:51:49.181: E/AndroidRuntime(3799): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:511) 07-22 23:51:49.181: E/AndroidRuntime(3799): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:791) 07-22 23:51:49.181: E/AndroidRuntime(3799): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:558) 07-22 23:51:49.181: E/AndroidRuntime(3799): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) 07-22 23:51:49.181: E/AndroidRuntime(3799): Caused by: java.lang.IllegalAccessException: access to class not allowed 07-22 23:51:49.181: E/AndroidRuntime(3799): at java.lang.Class.newInstanceImpl(Native Method) 07-22 23:51:49.181: E/AndroidRuntime(3799): at java.lang.Class.newInstance(Class.java:1319) 07-22 23:51:49.181: E/AndroidRuntime(3799): at android.app.ActivityThread.handleReceiver(ActivityThread.java:2328) 07-22 23:51:49.181: E/AndroidRuntime(3799): ... 10 more ``` Code ``` class HigherPriorityReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{ @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { Toast.makeText(context, "HigherPriorityReceiver", 0).show(); setResultCode(1985); setResultData("DOB"); //abortBroadcast(); } ```
