Autostart phonegap on android
thisk
In one of my projects the client wanted to auto start phonegap on
android devices. The solution is really only a few lines of code and
might help others:
In AndroidManifest.xml (in project root):
Add <uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" /> just after
the already existing permissions.
Add
<receiver android:enabled="true" android:name=".DroidGapReceiver"
android:permission="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" /
>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /
>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
inside the <application> tag, just before the first <activity> tag.
In the src folder of the project, create a class called
DroidGapReceiver with the following content:
package com.phonegap.demo;
import android.content.*;
public class DroidGapReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Intent droidGapIntent = new Intent(context,
DroidGap.class);
droidGapIntent .addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(droidGapIntent);
}
}
That's it. Of course the package name and the name of the receiver
class name can be changed.

Thanks Ryan!
My stuff is 3 years old so it needed an update :)
You are almost there. I had the same issue. The code provided by @thisk is very helpful, but not quite correct.In his code, he is starting the DroidGap.class on startup, but per the comment in the actual DroidGap class file:* This class is the main Android activity that represents the PhoneGap * application. It should be extended by the user to load the specific * html file that contains the application.... so, instead of loading the DroidGap.class, you need to load the YourApp.class (which extends DroidGap). The easiest way to find this is to look at the top of you AndroidManifest.xml file and find the "package" name:<manifest xmlns:android="..." package="com.package.YourApp" ... >
Now that you know your package name, go back to your custom class file that you created (see instructions above) and replace the following line:import android.content.*;
import com.package.YourApp;And then change the following line:
Intent droidGapIntent = new Intent(context, DroidGap.class);
Intent droidGapIntent = new Intent(context, YourApp.class);
That should do it. Cheers, and thanks @thisk for the foundation.~Ryan WhealeOn Saturday, March 2, 2013 10:11:58 AM UTC-7, Daniel Beauyat wrote:Hi!
This code des not work on any phonegap I try on.
I use phonegap 2.5.0 and this only lead to FC upon startup.
