I want to automatically launch my app on TV startup. i.e. when the user power on the TV, TV will powerup and my app will start.
I have followed multiple links on internet and tried to implement it but no activity is shown on startup. Followed How to start/ launch application at boot time Android
As I was not getting any response on start, followed Android-Boot Completed is not working in Broadcastreceiver
I have extensively searched web and stackoverflow, it is strange that I cannot find a solution to make it work till now. Don't know what am I doing wrong...
here is my code...
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {
public WebView mWebview;
private android.content.Context Context;
private ProgressDialog mProgressDialog;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);
String url = "http://www.test.com";
if (!DetectConnection.checkInternetConnection(this)) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "No Internet Connection!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
finish(); //Calling this method to close this activity when internet is not available.
} else {
WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.main_fragment);
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
CookieManager.getInstance().setAcceptCookie(true);
webView.setScrollBarStyle(View.SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_OVERLAY);
WebSettings webSettings = webView.getSettings();
webSettings.setDomStorageEnabled(true);
webSettings.setLayoutAlgorithm(WebSettings.LayoutAlgorithm.NARROW_COLUMNS);
webSettings.setUseWideViewPort(true);
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
webView.loadUrl(url);
}
}
StartAppOnBoot.java
public class StartAppOnBoot extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction() == null) {
return;
}
//if (Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED.equals(intent.getAction())) {
if (intent.getAction().equals("android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED")) {
SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);
boolean startupAfterBoot = prefs.getBoolean("serenity_boot_startup", false);
if (startupAfterBoot) {
Intent i = new Intent(context, MainActivity.class);
//i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(i);
}
}
}
