Hi everybody
I'd like to know when the system is fully started after a reboot.
Thank you

You should set the #StartAtBoot attribute to true (not in the starter service).
Your app will will start after the device boots.

Thank you Erel.
I have to start AFTER Google services are started, on some device it takes 2 minutes. I write a DB with FCM device token, but the fm_MessageArrived is fired when the Google support is completelly started. I write the token, but the App is unable to respond in time, so the the third party(thinking the app is ready) doesn't get any answer in time. I'll introduce #StartAtBoot flag. I had same problem on other OS's but it was more tricky to solve.

You don't need to start your app in order to receive push messages.

Really? The service in App is activated when the message is in?

 

[Erel]

Yes. See the tutorial: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...s-firebase-cloud-messaging-fcm.67716/#content

Make sure to send the messages with the B4J code.

I use B4A<->B4A solution (data message, no notification)

Yes it's my App behaviour, register at Play Services and show no UI interface. Seems old 4.x android have a long startup time, with a long start inertia for Play Services. After initial startup the messages run fast! I must widen test to show additional issues if any. Using Firebase Crash reporting is very useful...I have published alpha version
Happy Easter(if you celebrate)!
