BroadcastReceiverConfig

data class BroadcastReceiverConfig(val broadcastReceiverName: String) : Serializable

Defines the reference to a broadcast receiver.

Broadcast receivers are not managed by the IVI platform in any way. The IVI build config only allows broadcast receivers to be deployed in a process with a configurable name. For instance, it is possible to deploy a broadcast receiver in the same process as an IVI service host without the need to hardcode the process name of the broadcast receiver in an AndroidManifest.xml file. To do this you need to deploy a BroadcastReceiverConfig in a RuntimeDeploymentConfigurator.Global with RuntimeDeploymentConfigurator.Global.deployBroadcastReceiver.

Example

val broadcastReceiver = BroadcastReceiverConfig("com....Receiver")
val someServiceHost = IviServiceHostConfig(...)

ivi {
application {
enabled = true
services {
addHost(someServiceHost)
}
globalRuntime {
create(RuntimeDeploymentIdentifier.global) {
applyDefaultDeployments(all())
deployServiceHost(someServiceHost)
deployBroadcastReceiver(broadcastReceiver).inSameProcessAs(someServiceHost)
}
}
}
}

The above example deploys com....Receiver in the same process as the someServiceHost.

Note: The IVI build config does not manage the Gradle dependencies to include the referenced broadcast receiver into the build.

Parameters

broadcastReceiverName

The name of the BroadcastReceiver subclass that implements the broadcast receiver. This should be a fully qualified class name.

This value needs to match with the android:name attribute of the corresponding Android manifest receiver element. See receiver-element for details.
