Android Question start service at boot i don´t understand the problem

[fanfalveto]

The service starts only if i install the program with the phone conected by usb, but if i install the program with b4a bridge not and if i intall downloading the apk either.
In manifest are commented some lines i try with this commented and not.
Any idea?
Thanks.

The StartAtBoot service will run if the app is ran at least once, it works using USB because after installing it runs.

I understand but the service must start at boot anyway,not?

 

[NJDude]

Unless the app runs at least once, this is a security feature in Android to prevent malicious software execution.

Thanks.

Then how to hide an app icon and start the app and the next time only start the service and not the activity?
Any idea ?

 

[NJDude]

I don't know what are you trying to accomplish, but once again, that service will not run unless the app runs at least once, you could create a widget instead, when the user adds the widget then the service will start, but if your intention is to hide an app and run it silently then it won't work.

Ok,thanks again

It can not be.
there must be a way to run a service at startup.
jajjaja, if I find him and tell him

How did you create a service in the beginning ?
A service can not run without being called.
didn't test it, but try making a small app that calls the service, then make it run at boot just to call the service and then kill it.
good luck.
