I set up a simple app. I wan't to hide it from the drawer and I want to add a Boot Receiver to launch a service.
To hide the application, I read that I had to remove this from the manifest
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
But when I remove it, the boot receiver doesn't work anymore.
I added the permission under the manifest tag
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
and my receiver under application
<receiver android:name="com.example.receiver.BootReceiver" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
And in the receiver code, there is just a Toast
public class BootReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Boot Received", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
Why couldn't I set the boot receiver AND the hidden app from drawer?
Thanks
