Android Question How to start my apk at boot?

[ronovar]

I have writen apk that works fine...i would like to start apk when andoid os boot up.

I have done this in Starter service

#Region  Service Attributes 
    #StartAtBoot: True
    #ExcludeFromLibrary: True
#End Region

But after android is power off and power on apk does not start at boot.

Are you sure?
Some apps takes some time to start on system booting.
Once happened to me, it last even 5 minutes to start my service from system ask for PIN (this is the event I consider as the system boot ending).

Apk does not start...do i need to put any code to Manifest Editor or any code somewhere in module?

I just change from False to True in above code and apk does not start..i have waiting 5minutes and apk does not start.

You should use a different service, not the starter service.

Make sure not to kill your app from the recent apps list as it will not start automatically. And you should of course run it in release mode.

Can You explain more Ereo avout to use a different service (i don't know how to use it only to enable from False to True in starter module).

(i don't know how to use it only to enable from False to True in starter module

you dont know how to enable in starter. so in result you KNOW how to enable it in any other service.

What is the question then?

Ok question is:

How can i enable in B4A that my apk will start at boot.

If you could please write steps.

Thanks.

Create another service, not Starter, and set it to StartAtBoot, and be sure you run on release mode, as @Erel said.

 

[ronovar]

Ok..i will start another service and how can i set ti to startatboot? Could you please post some code?

 

[DonManfred]

Could you please post some code?

See Post #1

You need to manually start the service once (from your app).

For any further Service-Information see the Service tutorials or search the forum.
