How to launch the application upon booting up the device? - android

Can anybody share the sample code to how to launch android application upon starting/booting up the device?

This code will launch an application on start up. You need to listen for ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETE.
in AndroidManifest.xml (application-part):
<receiver android:enabled="true" android:name=".BootUpReceiver"
android:permission="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
[..]
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
[..]
public class BootUpReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent i = new Intent(context, MyActivity.class);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(i);
}
}

Can not start on boot when add more broadcast receive

I found many topic but no case fit for my question.
The first my app working smooth, it is always startup with device by code bellow:
In AndroidManifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
and receiver:
<!-- start when module start broadcast -->
<receiver android:name=".StartOnBoot"
android:exported="true">
<intent-filter >
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<!-- listen messenger received -->
<receiver
android:name=".Phone.SmsListener"
android:exported="true">
<intent-filter android:priority="1000">
<action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
And class StartOnBoot
public class StartOnBoot extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED)){
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
serviceIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(serviceIntent);
}
} }
And now I added 2 broadcast to listen state of SD card and SIM card. But when I finish, My app can not start when my device restarted. And I don't know, where is problem, nothing clue.
<!-- broad cast SDCard receive-->
<receiver android:name=".Peripheral.SDCardListener">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MEDIA_EJECT" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MEDIA_MOUNTED" />
<data android:scheme="file" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<receiver android:name=".Phone.SimCardReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SIM_STATE_CHANGED"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
And 2 classes receiver:
public class SDCardListener extends BroadcastReceiver {
//restart app when SD card mounted
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.d("TAG","SDcard state : " + intent.getAction());
if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_EJECT)){
//sdcard eject
}else if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED)){
SDCard.getInstance().SDCardMounted();
}
}
}
for sim state:
public class SimCardReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.d("TAG", "Sim state :" + intent.getAction());
}
}
My device target is only Android 7.1, SDK lv 25.
Some methods I tried but not work:
I removed SimCardReceiver
I added "android:priortity to StartBoot" like this:
<intent-filter android:priority="1000">
But still not working, Remember, my app always work without 2 broadcast SDCardListener and SimCardReceiver
Extra question:
How many broadcast are available to use in one app. How many is good ? one or not limit
Could I merge all receiver to one broadcast

i have a problem in my BroadcastReceiver, after the device is reboot receiver is not called

my program extends From BroadCastReciever to set Alarm, after the device is reboot receiver is not called, this is my code
1- BroadcastReceiver
public class myReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction()!=null) {
if (intent.getAction().equalsIgnoreCase("android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED")) {
Log.d("myActivity","repooted");
// alarm settings
}
}
}
2-xml
<receiver
android:name=".sync.myReceiver"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true"
>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_EXTERNAL_APPLICATIONS_AVAILABLE" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
In your AndroidManifest.xml have you added permission to receive boot complete?
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>

Erratic behavior of boot receiver

I have a several devices (Minix X68-i) all running the same firmware and software versions.
On some of them my boot receiver works fine, others it rarely works, and a few it's closer to 50-50 whether they will receive the event.
I'm out of ideas as to what could cause the code to work so erratically, other than potentially faulty hardware.
Manifest:
<receiver android:enabled="true" android:exported="true"
android:name="com.proreception.displaymanagement.Receiver.BootReceiver"
android:label="StartMyActivity" >
<intent-filter android:priority="500" >
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
BootReceiver
public class BootReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private static final String TAG = "BootReceiver";
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED.equals(intent.getAction()) && constants.ONBOOT) {
Intent i = new Intent(context, FullscreenActivity.class);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
Log.d(TAG, "Starting Application");
context.startActivity(i);
}
}
}

How to call an activity before screen lock is shown?

I want to start an activity even before screen lock after rebooting. here is my code
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.DISABLE_KEYGUARD" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.example.bootservicestartup.MainActivity"
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=".BootUpReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<action android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
public class BootUpReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#SuppressLint("InlinedApi")
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent i = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
i.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(i);
}
what the code does is when the phone is rebooted, an activity will be shown. that works. but I also want the activity to be shown even before showing the screen lock.
Hope this helps you if you did it as a service;
You need the following in your AndroidManifest.xml file:
1) In your element:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
2) In your element (be sure to use a fully-qualified [or relative] class name for your BroadcastReceiver):
<receiver android:name="com.example.MyBroadcastReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
(you don't need the android:enabled, exported, etc., attributes... the Android defaults are correct)
In MyBroadcastReceiver.java:
package com.example;
public class MyBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent startServiceIntent = new Intent(context, MyService.class);
context.startService(startServiceIntent);
}
}

broadcastreceiver in case of android device switched off and on not working

I am using broadcast receivers for performing some action when the device is switched off and switched on again,but they are not working.These are the receivers in manifest file:
<receiver android:name=".ShutdownReceiver" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_SHUTDOWN" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWEROFF" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<receiver android:name=".RestartReceiver" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
These are the corresponding classes:
public class ShutdownReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
Log.d("In","Switched Off");
}
}
public class RestartReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
SecureMessagesActivity.ToDoOnMobileSwitchOn();
Log.d("In","Switched On");
}
}
Please help me.Thanks in advance.
Be sure to request the RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED permission in your manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
