Android Question How to debug an app that starts on boot?

[GuyBooth]

I have an app that starts automatically when my phone boots. Not the user interface, just a service.
I really need to see what is happening when it starts, but of course it is not connected to the B4A bridge. Is there any way to automatically connect the B4A bridge first so I can see the startup sequence in the logs?
Or any other approaches?

Why do not add activity , which starts the service and will finish itself ?
What's the difference with starting service "at boot" ?

An alternative - to write separate app, which will start the service from your package. But this is more complex way.

You cannot run it in debug mode. You can however monitor the logs. It should work with #BridgeLogger set to true or by using USB debug mode instead of B4A-Bridge.

#BridgeLogger doesn't need B4A-Bridge to run.

That works.
Thanks.
