How to debug BOOT_COMPLETE broadcast receiver's “Force Close” crashes?

Question

Since the phone restarts and thus gets disconnected from the Eclipse debugger/LogCat while it\'s booting up, how do I see where my boot complete broadcast receiver is crashing?<

Answer 1

The receiver is only controlling when your code runs (i.e when the phone starts). Whilst debugging, run the code manually. You can resolve 99% of your issues this way and the remaining ones (if any) you can resolve by writing to LogCat so see what your code is doing.
