START APP ON BOOT ?

[junetec]

Hello,

I try to adapt the A13 for or kiosk equipment running android, to substitute miniitx board.

But I need to start my kiosk app after boot. In our linux minitix it's easy but with android at the moment I don't have succes.

Anyone can help me on this?

I had try some indications that found on the net like:

http://rdcworld-android.blogspot.in/2012/03/start-service-from-broadcast-receiver.html

I don't know if there's some A13 specific command to do.

Put these in your AndroidManifest.xml:

Code Select Expand

<application
        ... >
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            ... >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

But there is statusbar and you can go to settings from there. So if statusbar is not important for you, you can remove SystemUI.apk from /system/apk folder. Also you can remove the default launcher app (Launcher2.apk). But copy these files before you delete so you can put them to /system/apk again later.
