How can I autostart my application's service at device boot (with the possibility of enabling/disabling this feature)? What permissions do I have to include in AndroidManifest?
Thanks
this permission are use
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
In your <application> element (be sure to use a fully-qualified [or relative] class name for your BroadcastReceiver):
<receiver android:name="com.example.MyBroadcastReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
In MyBroadcastReceiver.java:
package com.example;
public class MyBroadcastreceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent startServiceIntent = new Intent(context, MyService.class);
context.startService(startServiceIntent);
}
}
