Launch Activity on System/Emulator Startup

Does anyone know if the BOOT_COMPLETED action is still valid in the new Android SDK build (m5 rc14)? I had the startup receiver working fine in the previous SDK build but now it seems to not be working. Thanks!

You need to add android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED to your AndroidManifest.xml as of SDK version m5-rc14.

Hi,

It still doesn't work with RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED permission:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
I just get a "Permission Denial" warming message in the log:
WARN/ActivityManager(513): Permission Denial: receiving Intent { action=android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED } from android requires android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED

how could I fix it?

Thanks in advance

Hello delirio,

check whether this is your error:

Ok thanks,

I was just paying attention to the Logcat messages

The log keeps showing the Permission Denial warning but the IntentReceiver gets the BOOT_COMPLETED intent, so finally it works

Hello Delirio,

maybe you need to reset the emulator once with -wipe-data to make the warning also disappear.

Hello!

I find this tutorial very interesting. I want to do something similar, but instead of launching an activity, i want to launch a service.

I try to do that this way:

Hi xayide,

Just use the context instance given in the method parameter:

context.startService(ib,b);

I did that, but it doesn´t work at all!!

This is my manifest:

Maybe the error is that the tag uses-permission is inside the application tag in your android manifest , it should be placed this way (or at least I think so):

Hi!

It´s necessary to add all this permissions, otherwise it doesn´t work. It seems that with the new sdk release it is necessary to add all of them.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_GPS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_ASSISTED_GPS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_CELL_ID" />

However, it just work if i close the emulator and launch a new one. It doesn´t work if i relaunch just the application. I don´t know if it should do like this...

I have a question: do you have problems with the emulator? i launch it and sometimes it doesn´t appear in the ddms perspective, other times it gives me errors saying that the emulator is not found... Other times it gives errors such as, home is not responding, my application is not responding...

regards!
