Update App - Autostart?

[thewavemaster]

Hello!

I made an alarm clock, using Service Start Foreground. My problem:
Everytime the user updates the app / (or even worse) the app gets updated automatically from the google play market, the running alarm gets killed and of course doesnt restart again.

So lot of users dont remark when the app got updated and are not awaked in the morning by the app...(thats the worst case - the users don't trust the alarm clock anymore....)


Is there any possibility to restart the app after it got updated?

(I think this question is only for the b4a god master Erel )

It works indeed, as it doesnt bug anymore, however the app still won't restart... Service_Destroy isn't called either so the service is still active, it just doesn't boot the app back up...

As you can see from my log:

** Service (starter) Start **
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
** Activity (main) Resume **

<- it should restart here...

The first step is to test it in release mode with USB debugging enabled.

I just saw something else, if i press the "View all running apps", the new installed app is there running... but it wont switch to it automatically basically...

Add some log messages and monitor the logs to see what is happening after the update.

It seems to be working since i updated the apk i was downloading... i am unsure as if it is my kiosk service rebooting the app or my "Reboot" service.... doing more tests...

Thank you for your time!
