http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5128703/can-you-run-an-intent-or-script-when-your-app-gets-installed-on-android A related post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2127044/how-to-start-android-service-on-installation includes this comment from Ms. Hackborn: "Yes, [not allowing apps to run on install] is deliberate. Application installation happens automatically in the background when the app is downloaded. We prefer that no app code run until the user explicitly goes to the app the first time." -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to *Advanced* Android Development_ Version 1.9 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
