    <p>I am writing an application which catches media-button-clicks from a bt-headset. However, since my receiver is stated in the manifest-file, I am suddenly not in control of my activity any more, and what I really want to do is to "press" a software-button on the activity when somebody presses the headset button.</p> <p>I've tried several solutions but have not got anything to work. Here is my current state</p> <pre><code>package com.siriforreq.activities; import android.content.BroadcastReceiver; import android.content.Context; import android.content.Intent; public class MediaButtonReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{ private boolean gotMessage = false; public MediaButtonReceiver(){ super(); } public boolean isMessage(){ return this.gotMessage; } @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { System.out.println("IN ON RECEIVE1"); if (Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON.equals(intent.getAction())) { System.out.println("GOT MEDIA BUTTON"); Intent startBroadcastIntent = new Intent(context, NetworkActivity.class); startBroadcastIntent.setAction("com.siriforerq.activities.ACTION_LOL"); startBroadcastIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_INCLUDE_STOPPED_PACKAGES); System.out.println("...sending broadcast"); context.sendBroadcast(startBroadcastIntent); } } } </code></pre> <p>In the above receiver, I do catch the media button. But where do I go from now to update my Activity? What I am trying to do right now is to send another custom broadcast and catch that in another receiver within the activity, but it does not seem to work. Here is my Activity: </p> <pre><code>protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_network); mMediaReceiverCompName = new ComponentName(getPackageName(), MediaButtonReceiver.class.getName()); mAudioManager = (AudioManager) getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE); IntentFilter btCommunicationFilter = new IntentFilter(); btCommunicationFilter.setPriority(1000); btCommunicationFilter.addAction("com.siriforerq.activities.ACTION_LOL"); catchButtonEvent = new BroadcastReceiver(){ @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { System.out.println("Got broadcast yes"); //startTalkInteraction(); &lt;- this is the method I want to call in the activity } }; registerReceiver(catchButtonEvent, btCommunicationFilter); } public void onResume() { super.onResume(); mAudioManager.registerMediaButtonEventReceiver(mMediaReceiverCompName); socketNetworkHelper = SocketNetworkHelper.getSocketNetworkHelper(ip, port); setButtonStatus(true); } </code></pre> <p>In the above anonymous receiver, the broadcast that is being sent from the MediaButtonReceiver never gets called and here is my problem right now. Should I think in another way or why doesn't my onReceive in the anonymous receiver-class trigger?</p>

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.
