How to start an android application at boot time?
This example demonstrates how do I start an android application at boot time.
Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.
Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:padding="4dp" tools:context=".MainActivity"> <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Hello World" android:textSize="24sp" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:textStyle="bold"/> </RelativeLayout>
Step 3 – Create a new Java class (StartAppOnBoot.java) and add the following code −
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver; import android.content.Context; import android.content.Intent; public class StartAppOnBoot extends BroadcastReceiver { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { if (Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED.equals(intent.getAction())) { Intent i = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class); i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); context.startActivity(i); } } }
Step 4 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java
import android.os.Bundle; import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity; public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); } }
