Start application on bootup android device !

[Przemek Boryka]

Hi !

My application must start on bootup android device. Everything is ok, app start works perfectly, but there is a little problem, when user tap the home button. It move the programme to work in background, currently when I want to bring it up to the front - just simple I need to tap the app icon. Everything is ok when I launch programme from loaded android, but when the app is launched after bootup sequence, android create new instance of application - this behaviour is not acceptable. In that case I have two instances of programme! :/

How to launch my programme, in order to prevent of that situation described above?

Maybe the problem is in AndroidManifest - wrong launch type ?

That is my bootup starter:

public class BootUpReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
	
	@Override
	public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
				
Intent i =  new Intent(context, Communicator.class);		
			i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME); // ???????????????
			i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); // ?????????????????
			context.startActivity(i);
	}
}

Thanks of any advice. Sorry for my english :|

Hi !

I solved the problem, as I thought, it was wrong type of launch mode, currently is:

Intent i =  new Intent(context, FirstActivity.class);
i.setAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
context.startActivity(i);

I think we can close this thread
