What is the difference between sendStickyBroadcast
and sendBroadcas开发者_运维知识库t
in Android?
Here is what the Android SDK says about sendStickyBroadcast()
:
Perform a sendBroadcast(Intent) that is "sticky," meaning the Intent you are sending stays around after the broadcast is complete, so that others can quickly retrieve that data through the return value of registerReceiver(BroadcastReceiver, IntentFilter). In all other ways, this behaves the same as sendBroadcast(Intent).
One example of a sticky broadcast sent via the operating system is ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED
. When you call registerReceiver()
for that action -- even with a null
BroadcastReceiver
-- you get the Intent
that was last broadcast for that action. Hence, you can use this to find the state of the battery without necessarily registering for all future state changes in the battery.
Types :- Local,Normal,Ordered and Sticky
Normal Broadcast
:- use sendBroadcast()
:- asynchronous broadcast
:- any receiver receives broadcast not any particular order
Ordered Broadcast
:- use sendOrderedBroadcast()
:- synchronous broadcast
:- receiver receives broadcast in priority base
:- we can also simply abort broadcast in this type
Local Broadcast
:- use only when broadcast is used only inside same process
Sticky Broadcast
:- normal broadcast intent is not available any more after this was send and processed by the system.
:- use sendStickyBroadcast(Intent)
:- the corresponding intent is sticky, meaning the intent you are sending stays around after the broadcast is complete.
:- because of this others can quickly retrieve that data through the return value of registerReceiver(BroadcastReceiver, IntentFilter).
:- apart from this same as sendBroadcast(Intent).
sendbroadcast()
- normal broadcast, but we can set priority as well.
sendstickybroadcast()
- intent passed with this will be stick for future users who are registering through code (dynamic receivers).
The broadcast that will stick with android, and will be re-delivered or re-broadcasted to the future requests from any broadcast receivers
When somebody sends a sticky broadcast using sendstickyBroadcast(intent);
then that broadcast will be available for the future users who are using dynamic receivers.
But Now you should not use sendStickyBroadcast()
method it is deprecated
From Android Documentation:
This method was deprecated in API level 21. Sticky broadcasts should not be used. They provide no security (anyone can access them), no protection (anyone can modify them), and many other problems. The recommended pattern is to use a non-sticky broadcast to report that something has changed, with another mechanism for apps to retrieve the current value whenever desired
I hope this helps.
