SpinBower Member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 19, 2014 #1 Hi, my app has a service that listens for SMS messages with commands in them. The user has to be able to push the app from the online Google play store to their phone and the app has to start the service automatically. Is there any way I can do this. I know I can't use "android.intent.action.PACKAGE_ADDED" Or "android.intent.action.TIME_TICK" Is there any way I can do this?

Hi Erel, I've seen that post before but that doesn't solve my problem. That post is for if the app is updated, how can I autostart the app when it is first installed? Upvote 0

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 19, 2014 #4 It is not possible. Android doesn't allow you to automatically start your app when it is installed. Also note that StartAtBoot will not work on new devices if the app was not ran at least once. Upvote 0

I guess I could use the package added intent and tell the user to download the second app that will start the SMS service. Would that work? Upvote 0

SpinBower Member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 20, 2014 #8 I know, thats why I would make another app and have the first one detect the second when it is installed. Upvote 0
