Boot/ScreenOn Broadcast Receiver not working

Question

I have a blank HelloWorld Application:

package tutorials.TestReceivers;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class TestReceiversAc         


        

Answer 1

After a long time of frustration, I solved the problem above.

The right way to register Boot Broadcast Receiver (and open activity according to it), is:

Blank HelloWorld Application (TestReceiversActivity.java):

package tutorials.TestReceivers;

import android.app.Activity;
public class TestReceiversActivity extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
    }
}

Another Boot Receiver Class (BootReceiver.java)

package tutorials.TestReceivers;

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
public class BootReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
         Log.d("DAVID", "Hi, Boot reciver was catch!");
         Intent i = new Intent(context, TestReceiversActivity.class);
         i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
         context.startActivity(i);
       }
}

Note: You must set the flag to make it work!

Set the manifest to:

Enjoy!
