How to start an Android application when the phone boots up? I have done this previously using a BroadcastReceiver with the BOOT_COMPLETED intent. Are there any alternative ways to accomplish the same?

I want to write a service in my application. I hope the service can automaticaly access to internet and update database after phone boots up every time. The whole process is background and no any UI for user. Is it possible? there is any demo ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am reading the initialization process of Android system on the emulator. I use "adb logcat" to see the internal output. I have read according to the following order: init -> init.rc -> zygote(init1->init2) -> systemReady(start com.android.phone and android.process.acore) However, the log has some lines about starting other processes.code..

At the moment I have written an Activity which enables a user of the Service component to schedule it to run or cancel the service from running (just adds or removes scheduled Alarms via the Alarm Service).However I would like to have the Service component get scheduled to run at Android boot-up time - I would like this to happen without user inter-action (so not using the Activity I have written). I plan to have a stored boolean value in Preferences which will either enable or disable the service. Does the Android Framework support a way for me to support running some code at system boot or soon after ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedGood Evening, I doing a bit of surfing this morning with the Desire and put it in down for a few hours and when I cam back to it about 4 hours later I found the battery was dead.. After charging it up and turning it back on all it will do is show the white screen with green HTC letters before rebooting again.
Very frustrating as I have just got this one setup the way I like it since being replaced. I can not even say why it has happened, I use no task killers and the only app ran was the internet via wifi.
I have called Orange and they will send a new one out tomorrow to replace it, so good for the customer services but this is my second faulty desire.
I tried loading the phone with the volume down button pressed and using fastboot / recovery but no joy there.
Before it goes back tomorrow I really want to reset the phone to factory defaults as all my data will remain in the phone and I do not trust any 3rd party to clear it down.
Does anyone know what I can do to clear the data please?
I am very new to this rooting process of Android but I figured Cyanogen seemed simple enough, but I managed to screw it up. The phone boots up to TWRP 2.3.3.1 but the phone has no OS installed so I don't know what to do.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe only way I know this is having installed a task manager. There would be no other way of knowing this.
I have about 14 apps downloaded form the market. Not too many, but I was susrprised to see applications like shop savvy and My Backup automatically start up when my phone boots up. Whilst in the apps themselves, there seems to be no way of stopping this behaviour. Why would they do this ? Why is there no kill switch fro these apps natively for android ? It seems there is a lot of chatter about whether or not task managers are good for the platform, or whether we should just let android do it's thing on it's own. I'm really in two minds whether to carry on using a TM or not. It's for reasons such as shop savvy opening up on it's own when I don't want it to that I'm tempted to keep in, if only for my own piece of mind, and the ability to kill apps that don't need to be on. This MUST have a direct correlation with battery usage.
Anyway, I have to say that I've had most platforms, iphone, blackberry, symbian, and Android really does seem to me to be the best one yet. I am extremely happy with my Hero.
I've had a Samsung Galaxy Ace for a year and a half and have never had any problems with it. It gets dropped once or twice a week, but besides that it stays pretty safe. Last night I went to restart my phone and when I turned it back on it showed its logos like it always does before bringing me to my lock screen but this time it got stuck at the Samsung logo. It pulsed white and blue for around 30 seconds, then goes through all the logos again and it does this on loop. I've tried removing the battery and trying it, removing the SD and SIM cards and trying it, and no luck.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI attempted to use the new build.prop file to fix the market issue where some paid apps were not found for download.
Here is the process I used:
Download build.prop, place it on SD card. Use Root Explorer to copy build.prop into system/Deleted old build.prop file from system/ (I made a copy of the original and placed it in a folder on my SD card as a backup) Turned phone off. Turned phone back on and got to the Motorola logo, then the screen is black (backlight is still working, the screen is technically on, there just isn't anything on it).
Phone never gets to the boot animation and will not boot back up. Anyone know how I can fix this without having to flash the SBF 2.1 file again and re-root, install 2.2 update.zip, and download/setup all of my apps?
Is there a way of telling the phone with apps (not necessary for the proper functioning of the phone) start at start-up and which don't? I hate for unnecessary apps to auto start.

I would like to know if anybody knows how I can start my application with an incoming SMS message.
For example, I send an SMS message from phone A to Phone B. When Phone B receives the message, it checks if it is sent to my program. If it is, it starts(run) my application. Important thing here is that my program is not running in the device unless SMS is received, so it can not be listening for SMS itself.

As an exercise I attempted to add an AppWidgetProvider-derived class to one of our existing Android applications. When the widget is created and appears on the home screen, the output from adb logcat notes: W/ActivityManager(58): Unable to launch app com.mycompany.myapp/ 10042 for broadcast Intent { action=android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_ENABLED comp= {com.mycompany.myapp/com.mycompany.myapp.MyAppWidgetProvider} }: process is bad
This output comes from around line 10814 in ActivityManagerService (looking at cupcake on git). This is running on an ADP 1.5, FWIW. The same AppWidget code, once separated from the main application's project and put into its own simple project, runs as expected, so I know my manifest entries/XML/Java are all as they should be. Has anyone else run into this, or perhaps can the Android team comment on what aspect of my application might be preventing the AM from starting up the process when the widget is added to the home screen?

For example, some application will start at certain time, then click (or touch) the menu itself as I've previously saved in the macro. Similar app for Windows Mobile is "Vito Buttonmapper" I think. Does the application "Tasker" do the same thing that I described? Or is there any other application?

View 13 Replies View RelatedI'm using Eclipse on Windows to develop Android application. So when I'm trying to run the app, the system outputs to console
CODE:............
starts the emulator, but doesn't upload the .apk and doesn't start the activity. So, app is not started anyway.
I found a "solution" here, but it's unclear and seems to not work. For example, I don't know, which "emulator processed" are meant to be killed. I found adb.exe only. And that's the main point: sometimes I'm lucky enough to kill all that they wanted and start the app. But it's undetermined.
I'm working on a Application and I would like to start or call an external application from it by pressing for example a button...on my application.
The application I would like to call is an open source application.
I've read on the official android website it is possible to do it but haven't found any suggestion on how to do it.
MY APPROACH:
So trying on my own I've used an Intent Action and a button...like this
CODE:...............
RESULT:
When the button is pressed, A window appears which invites me to complete the Action I guess by choosing one of the Listed programs such as:
-Gstr
-Import Ics
-Market
-Music
-Mail (com.htc.android.mail) and so on...but not the API I was looking for...
When I choose Gstr(I guess is the application manager) then opens another window
Which shows a list of Installed Applications. From there I find the Application I was
Looking for and starts it (by long pressing on it's Icon...)
ISSUE:
I would like to start the external Application directly by clicking on a button on my application without passing through hundreds of others... Is there a way to achieve?
I know how to update my own programs, and I know how to open programs using the a predefined Uri (for sms or email for example)
I need to know how I can create an Intent to open MyTracks or any other application that I don't know what intents they listen to.
I got this info from DDMS, but I havn't been succesful in turning this to an Intent I can use. This is taken from when opening MyTracks manually.
