[android-developers] HELP: Receiver killed on startup.
Experts, I have a simple receiver that listens to the BOOT_COMPLETED action. The manifest is as follows -- ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? manifest xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android; package=com.preciseinc.DroidLocator android:versionCode=1 android:versionName=1.0 uses-permission android:name=android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED / uses-permission android:name=android.permission.INTERNET / uses-permission android:name=android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION / uses-permission android:name=android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE / uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=8 / application android:icon=@drawable/icon android:label=@string/ app_name android:debuggable=true receiver android:name=ServiceAutoStarter android:process=:DroidLocator intent-filter action android:name=android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED/ /intent-filter /receiver /application /manifest -- However, when I start debugging with an emulator, the apk gets installed, but the receiver process is terminated.

Of course. Actually, your receiver process was probably terminated earlier, as a manifest-registered BroadcastReceiver can only live for a few seconds, tops. and any workarounds? Don't install a new version of your APK. To debug BOOT_COMPLETED receivers, add Log statements to your code and reboot your emulator. Examine LogCat to see what happened. Adjust your code.

Examine LogCat to see what happened. Adjust your code. Lather, rinse, repeat. You can also use adb shell am to send a BOOT_COMPLETED broadcast to your app for quick testing. I can't remember the exact syntax, but am help will tell you. Be sure to specific your explicit component name when doing this, or you will cause all installed apps to re-run their boot completed receivers, which may not be fun. :) -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer hack...@android.com Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.
