    <p>I'm just trying this little sample project, all it does: Activity one has a Button that sends a Broadcast. Activity two displays a toast when received. Below is the code, the Broadcast is never received. What do I do wrong?</p> <p><em>Sending the Broadcast</em></p> <pre><code>public class SendBroadcast extends Activity { public static String BROADCAST_ACTION = "com.unitedcoders.android.broadcasttest.SHOWTOAST"; /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); } public void sendBroadcast(View v){ Intent broadcast = new Intent(); broadcast.setAction(BROADCAST_ACTION); sendBroadcast(broadcast); } } </code></pre> <p><em>Receiving it</em></p> <pre><code>public class ToastDisplay extends Activity { private BroadcastReceiver receiver = new BroadcastReceiver() { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "received", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT); } }; @Override protected void onResume() { IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(); filter.addAction(SendBroadcast.BROADCAST_ACTION); registerReceiver(receiver, filter); super.onResume(); } @Override protected void onPause() { unregisterReceiver(receiver); super.onPause(); } } </code></pre> <p>Manifest</p> <pre><code>&lt;application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name"&gt; &lt;activity android:name=".SendBroadcast" android:label="@string/app_name"&gt; &lt;intent-filter&gt; &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /&gt; &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /&gt; &lt;/intent-filter&gt; &lt;/activity&gt; &lt;activity android:name=".ToastDisplay"&gt; &lt;intent-filter&gt; &lt;action android:name="com.unitedcoders.android.broadcasttest.SHOWTOAST"&gt;&lt;/action&gt; &lt;/intent-filter&gt; &lt;/activity&gt; &lt;/application&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COSo did you ever find an answer to this? I'm having the same problem. I actually have a local service that broadcasts and intent that the currently open activity listens for (registering a broadcast receiver, as you do above). The activity never gets the message. I didn't put anything in the manifest, but since I'm registering the broadcast receiver, I didn't think I needed to. Did you ever get yours working?

    3. COThanks. Turns out my [issue](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8112164/android-activity-not-getting-broadcast-from-local-service/8115723#8115723) was a different one involving specifying MIME types.

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.
