I have been trying to workout this problem for the past couple of hours looking at various code samples here but still haven't found a solution.
I want a service to start when app starts and when the phone is reboot the service should start again automatically without starting the app. (Neither the toast or log appears when i restart my phone). Please see my code below:
MainActivity.java
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyService.class);
startService(intent);
}
MyService.java
public class MyService extends Service {
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startid){
Toast.makeText(this, "Service Running ...", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.v("Service","Service Running ...");
return super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startid);
}
}
Autostart.java
public class Autostart extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent myIntent = new Intent(context, MyService.class);
context.startService(myIntent);
}
}
AndroidManifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.xxxxx.receiverservice" >
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<receiver
android:name=".Autostart"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<service android:name=".MyService" />
</application>
</manifest>
