In your manifest, the <intent-filter> matching action="path.to.file.MainActivity" belongs to the service, and your code uses startActivity with this action.
So first off, there is a mismatch in the component type. I'd guess this is the reason for the crash, but do check the logcat. Secondly, what is the purpose of MonitorService trying to start itself again from its own onCreate? -- K 2012/7/14 Cythes <[email protected]> > Alright I got a good bit of help in my last question so instead of beat my > head against the wall I have decided it would be better to post my code for > my auto starter / service / manifest here and see what I can get.
