    <p>I am writing an Android application for version 4.0.3 (ICS) of the Android OS. The issue is that I am not getting the output from my Log.d() in the onReceive() method of the BroadcastReceiver which means my application is not properly handling the broadcast.</p> <p>I have read countless questions about how to run code upon a ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON being clicked. I have even copy + pasted code when mine did not work, just to see if it would work.</p> <p>The ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON I want to handle is the <strong>single</strong> button on earphones that allow a user to pickup / end calls, play / pause music. <strong>Instead of my application handling this button, when I click it, the stock music player on my Nexus S Android starts playing a song</strong>.</p> <p>I have not placed my code in another class, maybe this is why it's not working?</p> <p>Here's the code found on the onCreate() method (this specific code I copied off a website after the code I wrote didn't work):</p> <pre><code>IntentFilter mediaButtonFilter = new IntentFilter( Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON); mediaButtonFilter.setPriority(IntentFilter.SYSTEM_HIGH_PRIORITY); BroadcastReceiver brMediaButton = new BroadcastReceiver() { public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { Log.d("Event", "Media button!"); this.abortBroadcast(); KeyEvent key = (KeyEvent) intent.getParcelableExtra(Intent.EXTRA_KEY_EVENT); if(key.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_UP) { int keycode = key.getKeyCode(); if(keycode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MEDIA_NEXT) { Log.d("TestApp", "Next Pressed"); } else if(keycode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MEDIA_PREVIOUS) { Log.d("TestApp", "Previous pressed"); } else if(keycode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_HEADSETHOOK) { Log.d("TestApp", "Head Set Hook pressed"); } } } }; registerReceiver(brMediaButton, mediaButtonFilter); </code></pre> <p>All I really need to test for is the KEYCODE_HEADSETHOOK but it doesn't hurt to have the other code there for testing, I'll fix it up once I can get everything working correctly.</p> <p>In my manifest:</p> <pre><code>&lt;intent-filter android:priority="2147483647" &gt; &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON" /&gt; &lt;/intent-filter&gt; </code></pre> <p>I originally thought this may be a permissions issue since I didn't specify any permissions for this however I didn't receive any error message.</p> <p>Like I said earlier, I have tried many variations of this. One example was the use of the code at this link <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6603170/broadcastreceiver-onreceive-problem-action-media-button-android">broadcastreceiver onReceive problem ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON Android</a> with CommonsWare's corrections. Again, however, I modified it so it wasn't in a seperate class.</p> <p>Thank you in advance for your help.</p>

    2. COI have almost the same code as you and it's working fine on Android 2.2 / 2.3. But like you I can't make it work with ICS...

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
