Android autostart application

Question

How can I autostart my application\'s service at device boot (with the possibility of enabling/disabling this feature)? What permissions do I have to include in AndroidManif

Answer 1

this permission are use

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />

In your <application> 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>

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);
    }
}
