Android: Event ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED is not sent to my BroadcastReceiver

android, android-intent

Solution

It's receiver, not reciever! It took me 5 hours to find this stupid bug. I think that the Android Eclipse plugin should do some syntax checking in the manifest xml.

Problem

I want to do something after the the phone is put into charger. So I created `ChargingOnReciever`: ``` public class ChargingOnReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { context.startActivity(someActivity); Log.d(TAG, "Phone was connected to power"); } } ``` and I want my receiver to listen to `android.intent.action.ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED`, so I put this into manifest: ``` <reciever android:name=".ChargingOnReceiver" android:enabled="true" android:exported="true"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED" /> </intent-filter> </reciever> ``` But `ChargingOnReceiver` is apparently not started when I put my G1 to charger (connect to my notebook via USB cable). Any help is much appreciated.
