It worked. These were warn message. But not sure why this was getting printed as I had already given the permission.

I believe this is out of date now. Here is a modified version for Android 1.0

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
 
import android.content.Context;
 
import android.content.Intent;
 
public class MyStartupIntentReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
 
     @Override
 
     public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
 
          /* Create intent which will finally start the Main-Activity. */
 
          Intent myStarterIntent = new Intent(context, MyStarterIntent .class);
 
          /* Set the Launch-Flag to the Intent. */
 
          myStarterIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
 
          /* Send the Intent to the OS. */
 
          context.startActivity(myStarterIntent);
 
     }
 
}

Thanks bbevol!
I formatted your code to look nicer!

Is it possible to make BOOT_COMPLETED automatically start a service? According the manifest docs you can specify an intent-filter for <service> but I can't get it to work.

Did anyone get this to work in the end?
I am also wanting to start a service up when the device has started up

bbevol's code works for Services too.

Hi,

Basically i am very new to Android development. I tried your code but got error. I am using android 1.5 and the line throwing error is

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

myStarterIntent.setLaunchFlags(Intent.NEW_TASK_LAUNCH);
Parsed in 0.059 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

in this line "NEW_TASK_LAUNCH" is giving error.

Also i removed this line and ran the project. It succeeded. but when i started the emulator from command line i got following error

The application Services Demo(process com.example) has stopped unexpectedly please try again

Can you please help me?

Thanks in advance

yeah! that's a really nice tutorial.

Just a question: when I launch the intent, my app is showing and is launched. That's of course a normal behavior.

But i would like this app to come in background instead. I just want my app to be in background.

Any idea/proposition?
