How to change your global Broadcast to LocalBroadcast?

LocalBroadcastReceiver is the same as BroadcastReceiver in Android. So if you know how to use BroadcastReceiver then you have got this. The code is almost similar.

1) Create Instance

LocalBroadcastManager localBroadcastManager = LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this);

2) For registering BroadcastReceiver

Replace

registerReceiver(new YourReceiver(),new IntentFilter("YourAction"));

With

localBroadcastManager.registerReceiver(new YourReceiver(),new IntentFilter("YourAction"));

3) For sending a broadcast message

Replace

sendBroadcast(intent);

With

localBroadcastManager.sendBroadcast(intent);

4) For unregistering BroadcastReceiver

Replace

unregisterReceiver(mybroadcast);

With

localBroadcastManager.unregisterReceiver(mybroadcast);

And that's it.
