Android Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF and Intent.ACTION_USER_PRESENT how to register it

Question

Activity has leaked IntentReceiver ScreenReceiver that was originally registered here. Are you missing a call to unregisterReceiver()? 

in my main activity

  // Register receiver that handles screen on and screen off logic final IntentFilter intentScreenfilter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON); intentScreenfilter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF); intentScreenfilter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_USER_PRESENT); screenReceiver = new ScreenReceiver(); 

and when the application is closed, I get this message.

 ACTION_SCREEN_OFF 

AND

 ACTION_SCREEN_ON 

cannot be registered in AndroidManifest, but only programmatically. What can I do? I do not want to use the Service, because if the service is running all day, it is not good for the battery. What is the solution? How to use these receivers?

Answer 1

You cannot register this receiver from the android manifest file. This is not support at all. The only way to do this is through long-running services and registering this receiver inside the service. Therefore, if you really want to use

 ACTION_SCREEN_ON 

and

 ACTION_SCREEN_OFF 

Then you should use the service
