Android Question [HALTED]Broadcast intent

[Martincg]

I want to switch something ON or OFF by sending an intent to an application. The information given for intents like this is
---------------------------------------------------
OFF:'abc.android.Appname.TurnOff'

Extras
UDN:'SwichDevice_Sk1'
--------------------------------------------------

Amingst other things I tried this

Dim Intent1 As Intent
   Intent1.Initialize(Intent1.ACTION_MAIN, "")
   Intent1.SetComponent("abc.android.Appname.TurnOff")
   Intent1.PutExtra("UDN","SwichDevice_Sk1")
   StartActivity(Intent1)

but it had no effect.
There is also information on broadcast intents, such as

ON:'abc.android.Appname.OFF.SwichDevice_Sk1'

I have also tried this using the broadcast-reciever library but not suceeded here either.

Can someone tell me where I can find information which explains how to use intents in B4A? It might be that I am not understanding the instructions the app gives.

Which app you are talking about?

Post the documentation you are talking about.

The BCR Lib does not help you sending an Intent. It is to receive/listento Intents.

Note that broadcasting intents is done with Phone.SendBroadcastIntent.

Try this:

Dim Context As JavaObject
Context.InitializeContext

Dim Intent1 As Intent
Intent1.Initialize(Intent1.ACTION_MAIN, "")
Intent1.SetComponent("abc.android.Appname.TurnOff")
Intent1.PutExtra("UDN","SwichDevice_Sk1")
StartActivity(Intent1)

Context.RunMethod("sendBroadcast", Array As Object(Intent1))

Dim Intent1 As Intent
Intent1.Initialize(Intent1.ACTION_MAIN, "")
Intent1.SetComponent("abc.android.Appname.TurnOff")
Intent1.PutExtra("UDN","SwichDevice_Sk1")
Dim Phone As Phone
Phone.SendBroadcastIntent(Intent1)
