BOOT_COMPLETED never received

Question

Does every device send the BOOT_COMPLETED? I want to start an Activity on Boot Completed.

I put the following in the Manifest:

Answer 1

1. Add full path and secondly add permission in your receiver.

    <receiver android:name="com.example.BootFinished"
      android:permission="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED">            
       <intent-filter>                
          <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />           
       </intent-filter>        
    </receiver>
   

Answer 2

The possible reasons why broadcast reciever events could fail:

1. Receiver not declared in AndroidManifest.xml Declare the receiver in the Manifest-file:

2. Receiver in the Manifest xml is misspelled Android-System is case sensitive. So check your spelling and path is correct in the AndroidMainfest.xml

3. AVD running for a long time Reset your avd/device

4.Also if your app is in moved to sdcard.Say you have registered for android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED,the boot event is triggered even before the mediascanner scans the sdcard.

and all the devices which run android sends BOOT_COMPLETE :P Check again and try :) all the best :)

Answer 3

As a starting point, try putting the full path of your receiver in the manifest.
