I'm new to the Android API and i try hard to start my app (NOT an Activity) from a Broadcast receiver. It's compiling and manualy launching on my Device, but not automatically launching when i plug an USB device in.
My goal : plug usb in -> start app -> "Hello World!"
===============================[edit]======================================
That's the final version that is working for me. If it's not working for you test with an other device.
Works on my Moto G 1st Gen. Android 5.1.1.
Do not work on my S3 I9300 Android 4.4.4
tests :
Reboot -> OS running -> plug USB in -> unlock the screen -> "Hello world"
Unlock -> plug in -> "Hello world"
...
The code :
package com.example.desktop.helloworld;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class HelloworldActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_helloworld);
TextView tv = new TextView(this);
tv.setText("Hello World!");
setContentView(tv);
}
public static class BootUpReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent i = new Intent(context, HelloworldActivity.class);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(i);
}
}
}
The Manifest :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

I am trying to change the main activity in android to another activity and playing a video in the new activity. but, even I changed in the manifest the main activity, it didn't show me the video when I'm starting the app. I tried to Check in the Logcat if the activity is still launched, and i didn't see any message.

I am designing an android application in java and I would like it to launch when the smartphone starts up I of course registered a BroadcastReceiver for the BOOT event of my phone as explained here but it does not work on Android 10 if not for info it worked on Android 4.1.
Can you help me please ?
Here is my code:

Cordially.
I need to know how to make an application that I created in Android and made in Android Studio runs automatically when the device boots.
The only thing I have found is this guide https://codigofacilito.com/articulos/auto-ejecucion-de-una-aplicacion-al-inicio-de-un-depositivo-con-android but it does not run when the device starts.

I'm trying to develop android app for that can record phone calls. So, in the initial step, I've to see if BroadcastReceiver is getting fired or not.
I've added permissions, receiver tag in AndroidManifest file. I'm testing on OnePlus X. Activity is gets started but BroadcastReceiver doesn't get fired when I get call. What's going wrong here?

try {
System.out.println("Receiver start");
String state = intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE);
String incomingNumber = intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_INCOMING_NUMBER);
if(state.equals(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_RINGING)){
Toast.makeText(context,"Incoming Call State",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Toast.makeText(context,"Ringing State Number is -"+incomingNumber,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
if ((state.equals(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_OFFHOOK))){
Toast.makeText(context,"Call Received State",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
if (state.equals(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_IDLE)){
Toast.makeText(context,"Call Idle State",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
The permission READ_PHONE_STATE is a dangerous permission, if you are on a marshmallow device you must request runtime permission else your broadcast receiver will not work neither it will throw an error.
That is the most likely the cause of issue from your code because you have correctly registered in the Intent filter other than that there is nothing wrong as it is just a broadcast receiver and should work, i.e get called by the Android system.
I have tried this on a few android phones with no luck (i did start the app once).
This was mostly generated from android studio 1.3.2 and from some questions like this and that and the other.
Perhaps someone can point out what i am doing wrong.
Thanks
edit: moved receiver inside app, but no joy.
edit2: added missing permissions for receiver. now seems to work on a nexus 4. but not on the kindle fire or the at&t tablets. although it seems to come right away if i press the circle icon on the azpen.
edit3: seems to work sometimes on the fires now.

Every Component must be declared inside application tag into manifest. Here you declared receiver outside of application tag. Read Structure of the Manifest File.
Correct manifest wil be
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="acme.startup" >
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<receiver
android:name=".BootReceiver"
android:label="BootReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
</manifest>
You have to add permission to manifest file. Add this before your <application> tag :
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
