Plugin not working on Ionic 4

Hi all

I can't get this plugin to work. Following the docs I import the plugin, declare autostart in the constructor, then call the enable() inside the component. No error is thrown in the console, the application just does not start after reboot.

I have noticed that if I open the remote inspector and put a breakpoint on the line where I call enable(), then autostart executes correctly.

Any help would be appreciated.

Detect when the app is started at boot

Would be possible to detect when the app has been started by the plugin and when by the user? By that way specific actions could be made depending on the scenario?

Thanks.

Using with Stencil + Cordova

I don't have ionic project installed, could you please tell me what should I do to sync this plugin to android project?

npx cap update cannot find it.

I think it is not compatible because it ins't exposed to capacitor correctly or I am wrong?

Example phonegap build

Hi, i don't know how to use your plugin on phonegap buidl, it would be great if you could give me an example. Thanks!

it can be in the background

good afternoon, I spent time looking for a plugin to start the app when you turn on the phone and the closest thing I look for I found this plugin but not quite, what I need is to start in the background and not release, I saw that that there is a similar question but I am new to this and the truth is not there, try some things that I said but keep launching the app, I do not know if by now there is something that does what I want or not, with background-geolocation plugin has something of "startonbot" but when you start the app stops, so look for other solutions, someone could help me.

I want my application to always be running, never to die, and to ignore the physical buttons

Is there any way to make the application always running, ignoring the buttons of: Home, Back, Recentapps? that is, block those buttons so that the app is always running?

Expose actions to enable/disable PackageReplacedReceiver

Currently, PackageReplacedReceiver is enabled by default. It will start the app or service when enable or enableService have been called.

It would be useful to have the ability to enable and disable PackageReplacedReceiver independently of BootCompletedReceiver.

Starting the background

I've seen this being discussed before, during January this year, but I'm wondering whether it was ever considered to support starting the app in the background. In my case the app will issue local notifications if it has something to say, so the user will be aware of that anyway, and can act on it.

Is there any other safe way to achieve that?

I'm not sure how the backbutton plugin could help.

Anders

Blank screen after boot and Application Error

Application Error : The connection to the server was unsuccessful. (file:///android_asset/www/index.html)

Not switching autostart to on in the app

Not working on redmi note 4.

Is that required any additional permission like

WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

To allow this plugin to autostart: on

How to use it after install if user did not open my app

Plugin not Installed using Visual Studio 2015

Hi sir,
i am using visual studio 2015 and creating sample cordova application and i try to add your plugin via visual studio it shows "visual studio was unable to parse plugin.xml".

any one help?

how to enable a Service？

i try to writing a native service，then using autostart plugin to boot it. but it no work.
Would you provide a example？

This plugin is working for 2 times only after the app istallation . I am working in intel xdk version 2366to develop mobile apps with cordova 4.1.2 .Please help me to rectify this problem .Thank You

Long time until start

Maybe a feature more than a bug: It takes 40 seconds after the device is ready before the app is started. Can this be controlled?

Cheers,
Anders

A small question & a big Thank you! :-D

Not really issues with the plugin as such. Mainly wanted to thank you for the plugin that is quite useful to me. It seems to be working reliably on couple of devices that I tested it with. However I have a small doubt regarding the code below, used in the AndroidManifest file

            <receiver
                android:name="com.tonikorin.cordova.plugin.autostart.PackageReplacedReceiver" android:enabled="true">>
                <intent-filter>
                    <action android:name="android.intent.action.MY_PACKAGE_REPLACED" />
                </intent-filter>
            </receiver>

Even though the plugin works I was curious - do I need to replace the MY_PACKAGE_REPLACED with my bundle id / package name or something?

And again thanks a ton for the plugin.

Cheers,
M&M

runs at startup but runs in its full glory

Hi Toni,

I installed your plugin on ionic and it does work and work as expectedly. However, I think there is one side-effect that the end users may not like.

When the phone reboots, users are greeted with my app ( as soon as they pass the lock screen ). That's because your plug in kicks in and starts running my app. The problem is now the user has to do something ( such as pressing on the home button ) si that they can see their normal home/desktop view. And this is something they have to go thru, every single time, the phone is shutdown and reboots.

Is there a way to modify the plug in so that the associated app starts running in the background at startup, rather than running it in the foreground like this?

> symbol at end of receiver

>

There is a greater than symbol at end of receiver (all three receiver tags have it). Please remove it.

Nice work. Thanks much.

Why doesn't work?

Can I use the plugin to start my app in background (or as a service) ?

I need to start my app in background when I boot my device.
Can I use this plugin and how?

Detect When Started by User and When by Plugin

Is it possible to know when the application was started by the user explicitly or by the autostart plugin? I'd need my application to run on startup but I don't what them to see the user interface unless they explicitly ran the application.

Is there a way that I've missed?

Thank you
