How do I start my app on startup?

Question

I tried using the sample code in this link but it seems outdated and it did not work. So what changes do I have to make and to what files to have my app start automatically

Answer 1

Additionally you can use an app like AutoStart if you dont want to modify the code, to launch an android application at startup: AutoStart - No root

Answer 2

Another approach is to use android.intent.action.USER_PRESENT instead of android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED to avoid slow downs during the boot process. But this is only true if the user has enabled the lock Screen - otherwise this intent is never broadcasted.
