Steps for Auto-Start Configuration
- Listen to Broadcast Messages:
- Android applications can react to system events by listening to broadcast messages. This is achieved by registering broadcast receivers in your app.
- Handle BOOT_COMPLETED Broadcast:
- The Android system emits a specific broadcast message, 'android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED', when the device finishes booting.
- By capturing this broadcast, your app can perform actions immediately after the device boots.
- Declare a Receiver in the Manifest:
- To enable your app to receive the boot completion broadcast, declare a broadcast receiver in your app's 'AndroidManifest.xml' file.
- In the receiver, specify an intent filter for 'android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED'.
- Implement the Receiver:
- In your receiver's code, define the actions to be taken when the boot completion broadcast is received. This could involve starting a service or launching an activity.
Code Example:
// Declare receiver in manifest file
<receiver android:name=".BootReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
// Receiver class
public class BootReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// Check if it is boot broadcast
if (intent.getAction().equals("android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED")) {
// Start service or activity
Intent newIntent = new Intent(context, MyService.class);
context.startService(newIntent);
}
}
}
