[Pramod P Deore]

Hello everybody, In my application I want to send sms, but the application must have to run in the background. It send the sms but it is not run in the background. I have following code.

//Background.java

  
package com.micro;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class Background extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        
        startService(new Intent(this, MyService.class));
    }
}

Hello anybody is there?

[Srinivas Vurrinkala]

Hi Pramod,
Why don't you write broadcast receiver class as inner-class rather than anonymous class?
I feel code wise ok may be just some debugging needed like check in adb whether the events are recieved or not.

It seems you have just quoted your entire post from 2010, but without adding anything to it, or addressing the feedback you got back then. Is this still an open question, or was it a mistake?
