String extra passed to query receiver is null

[taryn.c...@gmail.com]

I am trying to write an event plugin for Tasker. I am having trouble getting a string extra I am adding to ACTION_REQUEST_QUERY and then sending as a broadcast to then be used in Query Receiver to test against PluginBundleManager.BUNDLE_EXTRA_STRING. The event shows up as a selectable option in Tasker so my EditActivity works fine, but I cannot get the paired Tasks to be initiated.  Logcat shows me that the problem is that pageIdPressed is null ( eventButtonPressed  has the string value it is supposed to) when I ask for SystemOut under QueryReceiver but it has a string value I can see using Display exception in the Main Activity. So the value of this string is getting lost or not being sent right in my broadcast.  I have searched for and found similar Broadcast/Intentextra issues on StackOverflow, but the solutions I have seen involve using getParent() in the receiver and android studio flags getParent() as unable to resolve method if I try to use it in query receiver.

This is the relevant code in Main activity where I broadcast the intent (it is nested in a Broadcast Receiver because I want it done in response to receiving an intent):

 

 

private BroadcastReceiver messageReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {

    @Override

public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

        if (intent.getAction() == TileEvent.ACTION_TILE_OPENED) {

            TileEvent tileOpenData = intent.getParcelableExtra(TileEvent.TILE_EVENT_DATA);

        } else if (intent.getAction() == TileEvent.ACTION_TILE_BUTTON_PRESSED) {

TileButtonEvent buttonData = intent.getParcelableExtra(TileEvent.TILE_EVENT_DATA);

            UUID pageButtonPressed = buttonData.getPageID();

            String pageIdPressed = pageButtonPressed.toString();

            displayExceptionMessage("Button event received\n" + pageButtonPressed.toString());

Intent INTENT_REQUEST_REQUERY = new Intent(com.twofortyfouram.locale.Intent.ACTION_REQUEST_QUERY);

INTENT_REQUEST_REQUERY.putExtra("PAGE_ID", pageIdPressed);

            INTENT_REQUEST_REQUERY.putExtra(com.twofortyfouram.locale.Intent.EXTRA_ACTIVITY,

                    EditActivity.class.getName());

            TaskerPlugin.Event.addPassThroughMessageID(INTENT_REQUEST_REQUERY);

            sendBroadcast(INTENT_REQUEST_REQUERY);

        } else if (intent.getAction() == TileEvent.ACTION_TILE_CLOSED) {

            TileEvent tileCloseData = intent.getParcelableExtra(TileEvent.TILE_EVENT_DATA);

        }

    }

};

 

Here is my QueryReceiver:

 

public final class QueryReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver

{ int messageID;

 

    //**

// * @param context {@inheritDoc}.

//* @param intent the incoming {@link com.twofortyfouram.locale.Intent#ACTION_QUERY_CONDITION} Intent. This

//* should always contain the {@link com.twofortyfouram.locale.Intent#EXTRA_BUNDLE} that was

//* saved by {@link EditActivity} and later broadcast by Locale.

//*/

@Override

public void onReceive(final Context context, final Intent intent)

{

/*

* Always be strict on input parameters! A malicious third-party app could send a malformed Intent.

*/

 

if (!com.twofortyfouram.locale.Intent.ACTION_QUERY_CONDITION.equals(intent.getAction()))

        {

            if (Constants.IS_LOGGABLE)

            {

                Log.e(Constants.LOG_TAG,

                      String.format(Locale.US, "Received unexpected Intent action %s", intent.getAction())); //$NON-NLS-1$

}

            return;

        }

 

        BundleScrubber.scrub(intent);

        final String pageButtonPressed = intent.getStringExtra("PAGE_ID");

final Bundle bundle = intent.getBundleExtra(com.twofortyfouram.locale.Intent.EXTRA_BUNDLE);

BundleScrubber.scrub(bundle);

 

if (PluginBundleManager.isBundleValid(bundle))

        {

            final String eventButtonPressed = bundle.getString(PluginBundleManager.BUNDLE_EXTRA_STRING);

 

System.out.println("eventButtonPressed is" + eventButtonPressed);

System.out.println("pageButtonPressed is" + pageButtonPressed);

 

if ( messageID == -1 )

setResultCode( com.twofortyfouram.locale.Intent.RESULT_CONDITION_UNKNOWN );

else

{

if (pageButtonPressed != null && eventButtonPressed == pageButtonPressed)

{

setResultCode(com.twofortyfouram.locale.Intent.RESULT_CONDITION_SATISFIED);

}

else

{

setResultCode(com.twofortyfouram.locale.Intent.RESULT_CONDITION_UNSATISFIED);

}

}

 

 

// * Because conditions are queried in the background and possibly while the phone is asleep, it is

// * necessary to acquire a WakeLock in order to guarantee that the service is started.

//*/

ServiceWakeLockManager.aquireLock(context);

 

Thanks for any assistance!

Use TaskerPlugin.Event.addPassThroughData to pass event data through and
TaskerPlugin.Event.retrievePassThroughData to get it back.
