No, not quite... The boot up of the phone is a special case scenario. I'm saying that in that scenario you can't rely on the broadcast system, so you need to come up with another code path to manually get your activity's receiver code executed. I would take the code that is executed in your rece

In addition, your theory about the activity being created too late is correct. I set a log statement in the onCreate method of the activity and this message was displayed to me. The message from the receiver in that class though was not displayed. The creation message was displayed after the me

I apologize for not taking the time to work out my issues all myself. I'm a little out of my league here and am on a tight schedule. I am still slightly confused about a few things, such as: Why do I need to pass data through to the activity? All I want to do right now is start it up so that wh

If you send a broadcast, and your activity isn't currently running, then your Broadcast receiver isn't registered with the OS. How could it be? Your activity hasn't run the code to register itself. And, furthermore, if you've done it correctly, when your activity goes away, it should unregister it

I did the receiver with only code, that's correct. What do you mean that I need to start the activity? I thought that was what I was doing. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving

>From what you've described, I suspect you are doing your receiver only in code, which will not allow you to do what you want... This kind of receiver is only active while your activity is active. Since your activity is not active, neither is your receiver. Why not just start your activity explici
