Android Question Kiosk question (3)

[DPaul]

Hi,

My app is a kiosk app. Works fine.
I use the app, and then exit the app.
But then, if i switch the tablet completely off (not standby),
and back on again, the app starts spontaneously, without tapping the icon.
Any ideas on how to avoid that ?

the exit code is this:
<code>
kiosk = Not(kiosk)
If kiosk = False Then
CancelScheduledService(KioskService)
StopService(KioskService)
End If

ExitApplication
</code>

thx,
Paul

Check if you have a service that includes:

#StartAtBoot: true

change the true to false to prevent the service starting when the device boots.

Good idea, but...
I have a starter service, and it says : #StartAtBoot = false .....

At boot or even at "restart" of the tablet, the app starts after about 5 seconds.
?

do you have any other (additionally) services in your app? And one of these maybe have the startatboot flag set to true?

Are you talking about this tutorial?

Here is a KioskService!
And this service has set the startatboot flag set...

OK, give me some time to figure this out.
It is a bit annoying, but not a showstopper

thx,
Paul
