Receiver not registered

Question

I have a progamm with async task and a broadcast receiver to send a result code, so that Asynctask will know that app is working. But it crashes, sayin the receiver is unreggistred in main activity. I've registred one receiver in main activity, another receiver is in AsyncTask Activity. So here the code and log cat.

    @Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    mFragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
    addFriendsFragment();

    // The feed is fresh if it was downloaded less than 2 minutes ago
    mIsFresh = (System.currentTimeMillis() - getFileStreamPath(
            TWEET_FILENAME).lastModified()) < TWO_MIN;

    ensureData();

}

// Add Friends Fragment to Activity
private void addFriendsFragment() {

    mFriendsFragment = new FriendsFragment();
    mFriendsFragment.setArguments(getIntent().getExtras());

    FragmentTransaction transaction = mFragmentManager.beginTransaction();
    transaction.add(R.id.fragment_container, mFriendsFragment);

    transaction.commit();
}

// If stored Tweets are not fresh, reload them from network
// Otherwise, load them from file
private void ensureData() {

    log("In ensureData(), mIsFresh:" + mIsFresh);

    if (!mIsFresh) {

        // TODO:
        // Show a Toast Notification to inform user that 
        // the app is "Downloading Tweets from Network"
        log ("Issuing Toast Message");
          Toast toast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), 
                  "Downloading Tweets from Network",Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
          toast.show();

        // TODO:
        // Start new AsyncTask to download Tweets from network
          new DownloaderTask(MainActivity.this).execute(MainActivity.URL_LGAGA, MainActivity.URL_RBLACK, MainActivity.URL_TSWIFT);


        // Set up a BroadcastReceiver to receive an Intent when download
        // finishes. 
        mRefreshReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
            @Override
            public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

                log("BroadcastIntent received in MainActivity");

                // TODO:                
                // Check to make sure this is an ordered broadcast
                // Let sender know that the Intent was received
                // by setting result code to RESULT_OK
                sendOrderedBroadcast(new Intent(), null, null, null, RESULT_OK, null, null );

            }
        };

    } else {

        loadTweetsFromFile();
        parseJSON();
        updateFeed();

    }
}

// Called when new Tweets have been downloaded 
public void setRefreshed(String[] feeds) {

    mRawFeeds[0] = feeds[0];
    mRawFeeds[1] = feeds[1];
    mRawFeeds[2] = feeds[2];

    parseJSON();
    updateFeed();
    mIsFresh = true;

};

// Called when a Friend is clicked on
@Override
public void onItemSelected(int position) {

    mFeedSelected = position;
    mFeedFragment = addFeedFragment();

    if (mIsFresh) {
        updateFeed();
    }
}

// Calls FeedFragement.update, passing in the 
// the tweets for the currently selected friend

void updateFeed() {

    if (null != mFeedFragment)

        mFeedFragment.update(mProcessedFeeds[mFeedSelected]);

}

// Add FeedFragment to Activity
private FeedFragment addFeedFragment() {
    FeedFragment feedFragment;
    feedFragment = new FeedFragment();

    FragmentTransaction transaction = mFragmentManager.beginTransaction();

    transaction.replace(R.id.fragment_container, feedFragment);
    transaction.addToBackStack(null);

    transaction.commit();
    mFragmentManager.executePendingTransactions();
    return feedFragment;

}

// Register the BroadcastReceiver
@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();

    // TODO:
    // Register the BroadcastReceiver to receive a 
    // DATA_REFRESHED_ACTION broadcast

    IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter(DATA_REFRESHED_ACTION);
    registerReceiver(mRefreshReceiver, intentFilter);


}

@Override
protected void onPause() {

    // TODO:
    // Unregister the BroadcastReceiver
    unregisterReceiver(mRefreshReceiver);



    super.onPause();

}

Here is code for AsyncTask, but LogCat says an error is in main.

Answer 1

Try as follows...

    mRefreshReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {

        @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

            log("BroadcastIntent received in MainActivity");

        }
    }

In onResume()...

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();

    IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(DATA_REFRESHED_ACTION);    
    registerReceiver(mRefreshReceiver, filter);

}

In AsyncTask....

    Intent intent = new Intent(DATA_REFRESHED_ACTION);
    sendOrderedBroadcast(intent, null, new BroadcastReceiver() {

        @SuppressLint("NewApi")
        @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

            log("BroadcastIntent received in MainActivity");

        }
    }, null, Activity.RESULT_OK, null, null);
}

Answer 2

Because your broadcast receiver only created when (!mIsFresh).
So, in some case, your broadcast receiver is not instance because of mIsFresh.
Therefore, onResume register a null of broadcast receiver.
When onPause tries to unregister it, the error occur.
