[android-developers] Re: start at boot app gives instantiationException:

Thanks to everyone for contributing to this longish discussion. Changing the line in the manifest fixed the problem. As far as debug is concerned I set it in the manifest as Eclipse didn't seem to set it by default. The overall project is to use an Android tablet as an embedded application which m

Re: [android-developers] Re: start at boot app gives instantiationException:

That's one error and certainly explains the class not found exception. I'm not sure but you also might need a default category for the activity definition. What do you mean by you have to debug as an Android? Of course you have to run the code on a device to debug it. Also you won't be able

Re: [android-developers] Re: start at boot app gives instantiationException:

There's something odd with the package names :S:S:S If your BroadcastReceiver package name is "package com.needham.RxBcast;" then also in the manifest you should use the same package: or correct the package name and make it "package com.needham;" and the receiver in the manifest: . On Thu, Feb

[android-developers] Re: start at boot app gives instantiationException:

It is the program you sent me. I noticed that I have to debug as an Android to get the Log.d statements to work. package com.needham.RxBcast; import android.content.BroadcastReceiver; import android.content.ComponentName; import andr

The program is this: package com.needham.RxBcast; import android.content.BroadcastReceiver; import android.content.Context; import android.content.Intent; import android.util.Log; public class RxBcast extends BroadcastReceiver { private static final String TAG = "RxBcast"; private static final

Re: [android-developers] Re: start at boot app gives instantiationException:

Did you follow the steps I outlined? What intent are you speaking of that can't find the app? Speaking of the app, you're talking about the hello world or pies of cod app, right? What do you mean by an external app? Tell us exactly what you are doing and maybe we can help. On 2/21/2012 9:11 AM

[android-developers] Re: start at boot app gives instantiationException:

Thanks to all who have contributed answers to my questions. The last problem is that the intent cannot find the called app. Perhaps it's a misspelling or perhaps the fact it's an external app and I need some slightly different intent format, or maybe lots of things. I'll keep at this and when I

I'll make another request then. Please post the code and manifest for a simple something that will start the "helloworld" app at bootup. The helloworld app is just a test case to see if things are working at bootup. I have a far more complicated embedded application to test after that. Best, Tom B

Re: [android-developers] Re: start at boot app gives instantiationException:

Review the components section here http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html You are confusing a BroadcastReceiver with an Activity, and there's nothing you can add to the manifest to correct that since an activity tag can't describe or invoke a receiver. If you want to launc
