Android Question Android SDK 34 and BOOT_COMPLETED start app

[vasper]

As you can see in this screenshot, I have a Receiver that seems to work. However I cannot get the Main activity to start with either just calling StartActivity(Main) or StartActivity(intent) in this context.

I am running on Android SDK 34 and latest Emulator image.

Is there something I am not doing?

Sub Process_Globals
    Dim Timer1 As Timer
End Sub

'Called when an intent is received.
'Do not assume that anything else, including the starter service, has run before this method.
Private Sub Receiver_Receive (FirstTime As Boolean, StartingIntent As Intent)
    Log("Step 1")
    Timer1.Initialize("Timer1",5000)
    Timer1.Enabled=True
End Sub


Sub Timer1_Tick
    Log("Step 2")
    Timer1.Enabled=False
   
    ToastMessageShow("eCongress Kiosk Receiver",True)
    Log("Step 3")
    'Dim intent As Intent
    'intent.Initialize("android.intent.action.MAIN", "")
    'intent.SetComponent("com.econgress.kiosk/.main") ' Adjust if needed
    StartActivity(Main)
    Log("Step 4")
   
   

End Sub

CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, Themes.LightTheme)
'End of default text.

AddReceiverText(Receiver,

    <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
</intent-filter>)

at the very least, you are missing the AddPermission(android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW) in your manifext, also you only need StartActivity(Main). and - most importantly - please don't ever post a picture of code again. use the "<code></code>" tags or upload the project. if someone wanted to run your code to test it, they would have to type everything by hand. thank you.

Starting from Android 10, you need to request the special "draw on top" permission: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/draw-on-top-of-other-apps-permission.90513/#content if you want to start an activity while the app is in the background.

Thank you. I needed to ask for the permission to draw on top.

I have updated with the code. Will do so from now on. Thanks.
