Answer 2

I stumbled upon this library. Autostarter. It is a autostarter library for different device manufacturers

Last time i used it, it had support for Xiaomi and Letv devices. I cant really give you code examples, but i hope it helps someone who stumbles upon this

Answer 3

You may try this:

if ("xiaomi".equalsIgnoreCase(str)) 
{
 intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.miui.securitycenter", "com.miui.permcenter.autostart.AutoStartManagementActivity"));
                    } 
else if ("oppo".equalsIgnoreCase(str)) 
{
 intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.coloros.safecenter", "com.coloros.safecenter.permission.startup.StartupAppListActivity"));
                    } 
else if ("vivo".equalsIgnoreCase(str)) 
{
  intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.iqoo.secure", "com.iqoo.secure.MainGuideActivity."));
 }

Answer 4

@rajkumar is right, but you have to take care with Xiaomi running pure Android, MI A1, MI A2 and MI A3 is coming, so you should add something like:

if (Build.MANUFACTURER.toLowerCase().contains("xiaomi") 
&&
!Build.MODEL.toLowerCase().contains("mi a")){
 //intent
 }

Answer 5

Try this...it's working for me. It will open the screen to enable autostart. But if you try to disable from there it will close the app. I am figuring out a solution for that. Till then you can use this as solution.

String manufacturer = "xiaomi";
        if(manufacturer.equalsIgnoreCase(android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER)) {
            //this will open auto start screen where user can enable permission for your app
            Intent intent = new Intent();
            intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.miui.securitycenter", "com.miui.permcenter.autostart.AutoStartManagementActivity"));
            startActivity(intent);
        }

Answer 6

You cannot enable auto start directly, but you can redirect user to auto start setting screen and ask user to turn it on for your app. Use the below solution for xiaomi, oppo and vivo phones. Autostart screen will be launched if it exists.

    try {
        Intent intent = new Intent();
        String manufacturer = android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER;
        if ("xiaomi".equalsIgnoreCase(manufacturer)) {
            intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.miui.securitycenter", "com.miui.permcenter.autostart.AutoStartManagementActivity"));
        } else if ("oppo".equalsIgnoreCase(manufacturer)) {
            intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.coloros.safecenter", "com.coloros.safecenter.permission.startup.StartupAppListActivity"));
        } else if ("vivo".equalsIgnoreCase(manufacturer)) {
            intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.vivo.permissionmanager", "com.vivo.permissionmanager.activity.BgStartUpManagerActivity"));
        }

        List<ResolveInfo> list = context.getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(intent, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
        if  (list.size() > 0) {
            context.startActivity(intent);
        } 
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Crashlytics.logException(e);
    }
