android - access to activity from a broadcast receiver class -

i want protect features behind device password. if users try use feature, have confirm password again.

this code in activity class.

context appcontext = activity.getapplicationcontext(); restrictionsmanager rmanager = (restrictionsmanager) appcontext.getsystemservice(appcontext.restrictions_service); rmanager.requestpermission(restrictionsmanager.action_request_permission, "someid", new persistablebundle()); 

this code handle response password-confirmation dialog in permissionresponsereceiver class.

public class permissionresponsereceiver extends broadcastreceiver {     @override     public void onreceive(final context context, intent intent) {        ......     } } 

is there simple way reference original activity in permissionresponsereceiver.onreceive(...). have keep track of activity instance , provide public static method it, seems hacky , i'm looking alternative. have suggestions? thanks.

use local broadcast communicate between permissionresponsereceiver , activity.

in permissionresponsereceiver:

public class permissionresponsereceiver extends broadcastreceiver {     @override     public void onreceive(final context context, intent intent) {        ......      // create intent broadcast     intent intent = new intent("my-permission-response-action");     // add data want put in intent here..      // broadcast registered receivers     localbroadcastmanager.getinstance(context).sendbroadcast(intent);     } } 

in activity:

@override public void onresume() {     super.onresume();      final localbroadcastmanager localbroadcastmanager = localbroadcastmanager.getinstance(this);      // intentfilter define actions mlocalbroadcastreceiver respond     intentfilter intentfilter = new intentfilter();     intentfilter.addaction("my-permission-response-action");      // register desired broadcasts     localbroadcastmanager.registerreceiver(mlocalbroadcastreceiver, intentfilter); }  @override public void onpause() {      // unregister our mlocalbroadcastreceiver     localbroadcastmanager.getinstance(this).unregisterreceiver(mlocalbroadcastreceiver);     super.onpause(); }  /**  * local broadcast receiver  */ private broadcastreceiver mlocalbroadcastreceiver = new broadcastreceiver() {      @override     public void onreceive(context context, intent intent) {          if (intent.getaction().equals(my-permission-response-action)) {             // our activity has received broadcast permissionresponsereceiver.             // if added extras intent can extract them here             // use in activity         }     } };
