    <p>I'm wondering if there is a way to determine the active activity during the <code>onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)</code> method of a <code>BroadCastReceiver</code>? I initially thought that the context passed in was such a way, but later found out that in fact it is a <code>ReceiverRestrictedContext</code>. </p> <p>I'm trying to do the following similar to how one passes information from a <code>Fragment</code> to its encapsulating <code>Activity</code>:</p> <pre><code>try { mListener = (MyListenerInterface) (context.getApplicationContext()); } catch (ClassCastException e) { throw new ClassCastException(context.toString() + " must implement MyListenerInterface"); } mListener.onMessageReceived(msg); </code></pre> <p>Each activity implements MyListenerInterface, and overrides the onMessageReceived(msg) method, which I thought would be enough. However, I am receiving the following exception when running and receiving a broadcast:</p> <pre><code>09-24 22:40:48.706: E/AndroidRuntime(29267): FATAL EXCEPTION: main 09-24 22:40:48.706: E/AndroidRuntime(29267): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start receiver com.test.stuff.Receiver: java.lang.ClassCastException: android.app.ReceiverRestrictedContext@448c8008 must implement MyListenerInterface 09-24 22:40:48.706: E/AndroidRuntime(29267): at android.app.ActivityThread.handleReceiver(ActivityThread.java:2821) 09-24 22:40:48.706: E/AndroidRuntime(29267): at android.app.ActivityThread.access$3200(ActivityThread.java:125) 09-24 22:40:48.706: E/AndroidRuntime(29267): at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:2083) 09-24 22:40:48.706: E/AndroidRuntime(29267): at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:99) 09-24 22:40:48.706: E/AndroidRuntime(29267): at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:123) 09-24 22:40:48.706: E/AndroidRuntime(29267): at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:4627) 09-24 22:40:48.706: E/AndroidRuntime(29267): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) 09-24 22:40:48.706: E/AndroidRuntime(29267): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:521) 09-24 22:40:48.706: E/AndroidRuntime(29267): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:858) 09-24 22:40:48.706: E/AndroidRuntime(29267): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:616) 09-24 22:40:48.706: E/AndroidRuntime(29267): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) 09-24 22:40:48.706: E/AndroidRuntime(29267): Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: android.app.ReceiverRestrictedContext@448c8008 must implement MyListenerInterface 09-24 22:40:48.706: E/AndroidRuntime(29267): at com.test.stuff.Receiver.onReceive(Receiver.java:63) 09-24 22:40:48.706: E/AndroidRuntime(29267): at android.app.ActivityThread.handleReceiver(ActivityThread.java:2810) 09-24 22:40:48.706: E/AndroidRuntime(29267): ... 10 more </code></pre> <p>At this point I am just thinking about making an inner class <code>BroadcastReceiver</code> in each activity and putting the desired functionality in those, but I am wondering if anyone knows if any work-around to the above scenario where I would only need one <code>BroadcastReceiver</code> which would have different functionality based on the running Activity.</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.

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