automatically run an application on Android phone startup

Question

I want to start my application when phone startup

I just follow tutorial from here but it doesn't work in my device. Please see my method:

public class MyStartUpReciever extends BroadcastReceiver{ @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub Intent ii = new Intent(); ii.setAction("com.sat.servicetrack"); context.startService(ii); } }

and this is my manifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"></uses-permission> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"></uses-permission> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"></uses-permission> <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name"> <activity android:name=".ServiceTrack" android:label="@string/app_name"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> <receiver android:name=".MyStartupReciever"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" /> </intent-filter> </receiver> <service android:enabled="true" android:name=".MyService" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="com.sat.servicetrack" /> </intent-filter> </service> </application>

Am I missing anything?

what about running the same code on simulator ?

Close the emulator and start again.

I've done something similiar, but I was starting activity. Here is how I done it:

In Manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />

In Java code:

public class BootUpReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { PendingIntent i = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, new Intent( context,MainActivity.class), Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); AlarmManager mgr = (AlarmManager) context .getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE); mgr.set(AlarmManager.RTC, System.currentTimeMillis() + 20000, i); } }

Your code seems to be correct, but try using PendingIntent ;) Hope it helps you

try to start some dummy activity, which starts your service. instead of running service immediatly.

have you just copied my code? mine receiver is called BootUpReceiver and yours MyStartUpReciever. Check that...you have made some typo for sure.

try like this....

@Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub Intent i = new Intent(context, BootingActivity.class); i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); context.startActivity(i); }

in manifest file...

 <receiver android:name=".BroadcastReceiver"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"></action> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"></category> </intent-filter> </receiver>

 @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub if (intent.getAction().equals("android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED")) { context.startService(new Intent(context, BootService.class)); } }

and next you should implements BootService class extended Service

You are not calling the Service.

Code like this.

Intent objIntent= new Intent(context, MyService.class); context.startService(objIntent);
