Use a BroadcastReceiver (<receiver>) for BOOT_COMPLETED, and have that BootReceiver start the service. AFAIK, Android will not directly start up a service for that Intent. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
