Thanks erictcrook for the idea, but it wont work unless and untill you start the application manually once.
Hi Dianne, so there is no way out in Android for the application to run on install, correct? But I feel that this feature should have been there, as it is available in all other mobile platform like Symbian, WinCE,RIM etc. As there is NO silent installation API available in Android hence, it is the user only which is going to install the application, then what is the harm on making the application up on install complete? Or Andoird is having the future plan on this?
