I am not trying to create a BOOT_COMPLETED receiver (and doing so would not solve my problem).

Is there a way to determine if BOOT_COMPLETED has occurred? I have a library which is being called before (as well as after) Android has finished booting, and I do not want my library to complete its request if the system has not finished booting. Setting up a BOOT_COMPLETED receiver in every application that may use this library is not a reasonable approach for several reasons.

Are there any Android calls I can make to determine if the device’s boot has completed? It appears that there is a property, dev.bootcomplete, which I may have to use if no better method exists.

    I’m afraid the only official way of achieving this is to create RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED receiver.

    I would advise you not to rely on properties, since they often are OEM specific. Otherwise you may end up with your application working on one Android model, but not another.
