Add an "autostart on phone boot" option #109

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I like to track my position all the time, so I always need to have
open-gpstracker running. To keep me from forgetting to start the app after
my phone has rebooted, I'd like an "autostart" option that starts the
application when my phone is done booting.

I've already developed an app for Android, and I'm confident that I could
add this feature myself, if it's accepted.

If you want to build this feature that would be great. :) Send me a patch or an 
email
( rcgroot @ gmail.com ) about setting you up with a branch in the svn repo.

Sent a patch, looking forward to your feedback.

PS: Isn't there a mailing list to send patches and questions to ?

Did you get my e-mail with the patch ?
I've attached it to this issue as well (this time WITH BootReceiver.java :-))

Thanks! I've added your patch to head. I gave it a go and it works very well.

I am wondering about the app vs service start. App-start is easy exactly like a 
user
initiated icon tap, but a service-start is less invasive at startup...

You're welcome :-) Maybe we should just wait and see what the users have to 
say. If
people start asking for changes to the autostart functionality, we can consider
implementing them.

Made it start the service to not make OGT to obtrusive
