Hello, I have a need to create a background service that starts up during the system boot up, and keeps running until the device is powered down. There is no UI or Activity associated with this. I created a class extending the android Service class, and added the setttings to the AndroidManifest.xml file. When I launch this service in the emulator, I don't see this launched at all. I have overrided almost all the methods in the Service class to put log statements, but none of them shows up.
I believe the key is in the console message: [2009-07-22 17:38:59 - MyEventsManager] No Launcher activity found! [2009-07-22 17:38:59 - MyEventsManager] The launch will only sync the application package on the device! I am not sure what to make of this. Here is the AndroidManifest.xml file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; package="com.test" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0"> <application android:enabled="true" android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name"> <service android:name=".MyEventsManager" android:permission="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" /> </intent-filter> </service> </application> <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" /> </manifest> Here is the console output: [2009-07-22 17:38:59 - MyEventsManager] ------------------------------ [2009-07-22 17:38:59 - MyEventsManager] Android Launch!
