Ionic send broadcast with intent and extra values

[yasser-mas]

I don't know how to add intent in sendbroadcast and put extra array list of strings also adding FLAG_INCLUDE_STOPPED_PACKAGES and component to be like the below native code :

  ArrayList<String> messageList =  new ArrayList<String>();
  messageList.add( "51541545" );
  messageList.add("nbvnv");

  final Intent intent =new Intent();
  intent.setAction( "customReciver.sms.4gtss" );;
  intent.putStringArrayListExtra("infoList", messageList);
  intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_INCLUDE_STOPPED_PACKAGES);
  intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.example.mustafa.recieverapp","com.example.mustafa.recieverapp.MyBroadcastReceiver"));
  sendBroadcast(intent);

Right now I am afraid that is not possible with this plugin: https://github.com/darryncampbell/darryncampbell-cordova-plugin-intent/blob/master/src/android/IntentShim.java#L164 .

I'm going to label this as an enhancement, if there is enough interest then I can add it.

OK, so I have been making some changes to the plugin over the past week or so and have some updates on this:

• flags are now possible, specify an array of integers corresponding to the flags you want (use the Android docs to see the integer values you need, for example FLAG_INCLUDE_STOPPED_PACKAGES is 32. This change is not on npm at the time of writing but is checked into github (b22421d)
• You can specify the action of the intent using action: e.g. https://github.com/darryncampbell/plugin-intent-api-exerciser/blob/master/www/js/index.js#L66
• You can specify the component of the intent using component and giving it a correctly structured JSON object, e.g. https://github.com/darryncampbell/plugin-intent-api-exerciser/blob/master/www/js/index.js#L220
• You can NOT specify a StringArrayList extra and I probably will never add this as it is not possible to distinguish between a StringArrayList and a StringArray in JSON. Right now you can specify string extras and bundle extras, the latter being newly included in 0.1.1. I will change the label of this issue to 'limitation' or something similar to highlight the delta
