Question

I am using the Broadcast reciever in a thread but I don't know why I can't use the method registerReciever and I got this error "can't resolve methode register reciever" , so what can I do ? I am using this thread to do the scan of the bluetooth devices

package com.example.fatma.listviewcst;

import android.app.Application;
import android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter;
import android.bluetooth.BluetoothDevice;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.ContextWrapper;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.IntentFilter;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.Toast;

import java.util.ArrayList;

  class ConnectedThread extends Thread{
    ArrayList<BluetoothDevice> mArrayAdapter;
    BroadcastReceiver mReceiver;
    public ArrayList<BluetoothDevice> sendList(){
        BluetoothAdapter bluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
        mArrayAdapter=new ArrayList<BluetoothDevice>();
        if (bluetoothAdapter == null) {
            Toast t=null;
            t.setText("Sorry your phone do not support Bluetooth");
            t.show();
        } else {

            //   bluetoothDev=new BluetoothDev();

            //added
            // Create a BroadcastReceiver for ACTION_FOUND
            if(bluetoothAdapter.isEnabled()){
                bluetoothAdapter.startDiscovery();
               mReceiver= new BroadcastReceiver() {

    @Override

        while(mArrayAdapter.size()==0){
            this.sendList();

Answer 1

registerReceiver requires a context

pass the context from the activity to your ConnectedThread class then use

context.registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter);
