Android - Debug app on phone reboot - android

I need to reset alarms after the phone restarts.
I set up a BroadcastReceiver which starts a Service if the intent equals android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED.
The question is: how can I debug this? I mean, I would like to use the Android Studio debugger to see if the Service started correctly. How can I do that?

How to Start forced stop application after phone reboot

I was trying to get to know about the possibilities of getting success of Starting up a forced stop application after the phone reboots. So here is the scenario:
My app will not have any activity. It will be a service only app where no activity will be declared. So my goal is when ever the phone restarts, it will start up the service automatically even though the service is force stopped before the phone reboots. I am using Google Pixel 6 with Android 12 rooted phone. So I have all the necessary permission to achieve the task. I have tried couple of examples from stackoverflow. none of them works. They works only if you keep running the app before the phone reboots. It wont work if the service is Forced stop before the phone restarts. Any help will be appreciated.

Wear OS - How to automatically start app on device restart

I've created a Wear OS app. It has a service running in the foreground. I need to have the app always executing. When I restart the watch the app doesn't start executing again. How can I automatically relaunch the app?
It's my first app for Wear OS and I don't know how to search for this.
Thank you!
I'm not 100% certain, and it's a bad idea for an app to do in most cases. But I believe
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED
This will wake up your broadcast receiver so you can run some code, but as you discovered you are probably restricted against starting an activity.

alarm is automatic running after reboot even alarm is not set android

Hi I am developing an application in Android which playing Alarm. It can reset alarm after reboot phone . But there is a problem that, it is running alarm even if alarm is not set at all. Please help me.
You should check you if your 'if' statement is correct before your instruction is running, or if you don't have register 'ON_BOOT_RECEIVER' broadcast in your manifest.
Anothor solution is to debug your code with System.out.println() to check each variable state, or each step.

How to debug accessibility service?

I have some problem with debugging AccessibilityService and can not find a solution - with every deployment/debug from Eclipse the service is not restarted automatically and it requires the manual action of restarting the service.
What I am forced to do now:
I am adding some new code and deploying/debugging with Eclipse.
Application is deployed correctly and started but the new version of service is not started (messages from service are not shown and breakpoints are not working).
I am manually opening settings -> accessibility and see that my service runs.
I am manually stopping and starting service - now service is working.
I want to do it in a faster way:
I am adding some code and deploying, service is restarted, and then the breakpoint works without any manual boring restarting!
Could you suggest how to debug accessibility service without manually restarting?

Android BroadcastReceiver not working after install

Greetings! I'm working on an application that has a BroadcastReceiver listening on "android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE", which is run when the phone state is changed (I used it to run code when an incoming call is detected). This works fine on most of my test phones, but a few don't seem to trigger the receiver at all. However, once these problem phones are restarted everything works as expected.
Is there a reason these phones need to be restarted before the BroadcaseReceiver can pick anything up? Is there a way I can detect if it isn't running and manually "start" the BroadcaseReceiver? I'm stumped, so I'd appreciate any help you can offer.
Thank You.
To expand on the issue: starting from Android 3.1, installed applications are put in "STOPPED" state. To invoke BroadcastReceiver(s) from stopped application an additional broadcast intent flag is required.
More details: http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-3.1.html#launchcontrols
I created FLAG_INCLUDE_STOPPED_PACKAGES constant (=32) in my application (for pre-Android 3.1) and just add it to my broadcast intent intent.addFlags(FLAG_INCLUDE_STOPPED_PACKAGES);
Is there a reason these phones need to be restarted before the BroadcaseReceiver can pick anything up?
Assuming that your application has its BroadcastReceiver registered in the manifest for the PHONE_STATE broadcast, it should work immediately upon install. If it does not, it feels like a buggy ROM to me.
Is there a way I can detect if it isn't running and manually "start" the BroadcaseReceiver?
No, mostly because it's not running, usually, even when things are working. An instance of your BroadcastReceiver is created at the point of the Intent - <intent-filter> match, it is called with onReceive(), and the BroadcastReceiver is disposed of once onReceive() returns.
