62.7 Creating and Sending the Broadcast Intent

Having created the framework for the SendBroadcast application, it is now time to implement the code to send the broadcast intent. This involves implementing the broadcastIntent() method specified previously as the onClick target of the Button view in the user interface. Locate and double-click on the MainActivity.kt file and modify it to add the code to create and send the broadcast intent. Once modified, the source code for this class should read as follows:

package com.ebookfrenzy.sendbroadcast

 

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity

import android.os.Bundle

import android.content.Intent

import android.view.View

 

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

 

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

        setContentView...
