I'm using Eclipse on windows to do my Android development and I want
to test / debug some code that runs on Android startup.  I have setup
my program to receive the BOOT_COMPLETED broadcast intent (which is
working) and from there it launches a service that runs in the
background on the device indefinitely.

The problem I'm having is that when I debug my application by clicking
"Debug As Android Application" it boots up Android and then after
bootup is complete it installs my program and then attaches the
debugger to it.  Of course, this isn't much use to me since my program
does things that I need to debug at Android bootup, before the updated
version of my program is installed (at bootup it runs the previous
version I tried to debug) and no debugger is yet attached to it.

So the question is, how do I setup the debugger to install and attach
my program *before* BOOT_COMPLETED intent is sent out?

In a worst case scenario I can change the intent it listens for to
PACKAGE_ADDED or whatever it's called but I would really rather test
and debug the real code and not a contrived test case.
