Updating Activity Every 2 Minutes Using Broadcast Receiver in Android

In Android development, you may encounter scenarios where you need to refresh information on your app's user interface periodically. One common requirement is to update an Activity every few minutes. If you are currently using a BroadcastReceiver to update your activity every minute and want to extend that to every two minutes, you have come to the right place! In this guide, we will walk you through the solution step-by-step.

Understanding the Problem

You already have a working implementation that updates your Activity every minute based on time tick events. The code snippet below illustrates your current approach:

Your Goal

You want to modify this implementation so that your activity updates every 2 minutes rather than every single minute. Let’s explore how to achieve this effectively.

The Solution

Modify the BroadcastReceiver Logic

To update your activity every two minutes, you can enhance the existing logic in your BroadcastReceiver. The plan is to check if the current minute is an even number. If it is, we will run the update logic; if it is odd, we will skip the update.

Step-by-Step Implementation

Check if the Minute Is Even: You will use the Calendar instance to get the current minute and check if it is even. The condition for even minutes is that the minute modulo 2 should be zero.

Update Activity Based on the Condition: If the condition is satisfied, we will proceed with updating the activity. If not, we will simply return without doing anything.

Updated Code Snippet

Here’s how your updated BroadcastReceiver code will look:

Final Thoughts

By implementing this change, you ensure that your activity is only updated every two minutes based on the clock, improving efficiency and reducing unnecessary updates. Make sure to test the implementation thoroughly to ensure it behaves as expected.

With this approach, you can effectively manage how often you refresh your activity’s content, enhancing both performance and user experience.

Now you’re ready to keep your app’s Activity refreshed seamlessly every 2 minutes with the help of a BroadcastReceiver!
