And so long as they use the "FlashLight app" at least once, then your BroadcastReceiver will work, and should not until then. > I have installed the app, never ran the flashlight, sent a sms message and > it works. Perhaps on an Android 3.0 or older device, or by reinstalling over top of an existing installation that itself had run the activity. This is covered in the Android 3.1 release notes: http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-3.1.html (see "Launch controls on stopped applications"). I suppose that it is conceivable that SMS broadcasts include FLAG_INCLUDE_STOPPED_PACKAGES, though that would surprise me. -- 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 Android Development_ Version 4.6 Available! -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
