Android Question Problem using start at boot with Android 10

[Sergio83]

Hello all,
A few years ago, I developed a home automation server with many features, including Alexa.
It is supported by an Android TV box that I just upgraded from Android 8 to 10.
This application has a service with the start at boot option.
I know that version 10 supports this option, but the launched application does not go to foreground.
Is there a workaround?
I looked at the Erel application "MyLocation", without finding the solution to my problem.
Thank you in advance for your help

First step is to remove this from the starter service: #StartAtBoot: True

The starter service should never be started at boot.

Did the change, but no luck.
Still not starting after reboot.

Does it not start at all => nothing relevant in the logs, or does the activity not showing?

 

[Sagenut]

Activity not showing and it looks that a Log in the receiver never get raised.

Last post of me in this thread as I wasted too much time on this.

You should write:

AddReceiverText(SOB,
<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
</intent-filter>)

Instead of:

AddReceiverText(SOB,
<intent-filter>
    action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
</intent-filter>)

I can confirm that now it work.
Thanks for pointing me to the problem.
I am sorry that I didn't noticed that I mispelled one character on a line, and not making a complete wrong code.
Probably I deleted it by accident on subsequent check of the Manifest.
Anyway I will not waste the time of the others anymore in the future.

I know that and I agree with you Erel but I tried to run Sagenut's example as is.
I think I have manage as you suggested me, see post #5 and post #14. But I got a poor result. Is there something wrong in my code?

Edit: I don't know why but I got your reply and Sagenut one just after sending this post.

So it seems I got now the solution, I've just to implement it.
I apologize for this posts collision.

Hi!
just for information: this project didn't work for me on LineageOS 22.1 (raspberry PI), but somewhere I read and that was the solution (into the manifest):

SetReceiverAttribute(SOB, "android:exported", true)
