copied!<p>EDIT: I apologize, I misunderstood the use of a BroadcastReceiver. If I understand correctly, when a Broadcast Intent is intercepted by your BroadcastReceiver, it calls the <code>onReceive</code> method. Here is the function header:</p> <pre><code>public abstract void onReceive (Context context, Intent intent) </code></pre> <p>Notice that a context is passed as an argument to this function. This context is the Context in which the receiver is running. Go ahead and try using that with the methods I specified below. Here's my reference: <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/BroadcastReceiver.html#onReceive%28android.content.Context,%20android.content.Intent%29" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/BroadcastReceiver.html#onReceive%28android.content.Context,%20android.content.Intent%29</a></p> <p>Hope this helps!</p> <p>ORIGINAL POST: One possible way to do this is to pass the application context as a constructor argument for your SMS Receiver Class:</p> <pre><code>public SMSReceiver(Context context, ...[other args]){ this.context = context; //Rest of constructor code } </code></pre> <p>And then when you instantiate your SMS Receiver in your activity:</p> <pre><code>SMSReceiver receiver = new SMSReceiver(this, ...[other args]); </code></pre> <p>With this context, you are able to get the Shared Preferences.</p> <pre><code>Preferences preferences = context.getSharedPreferences("NAME", [int Mode]); </code></pre> <p>The user Pentium10 provided a very thorough answer regarding preference access in this link: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2614719/how-do-i-get-the-sharedpreferences-from-a-preferenceactivity-in-android">How do I get the SharedPreferences from a PreferenceActivity in Android?</a> </p> <p>Here is the tidbit of code you'll be interested in (with a minor edit to match what I have above):</p> <pre><code>import android.preference.PreferenceManager; SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context); // then you use prefs.getBoolean("keystring", true); //or whatever method you need to retrieve your data </code></pre>
