I know you can start a service on Boot, but how do I start the service after the app has been installed or reinstalled?
I would like to start the service once the app is put on device by Debug/Run of Eclipse.

You do not get control after an install, so you have to start the service through your activity or something.
There’s an
ACTION_PACKAGE_REPLACEDbroadcastIntentyou can monitor for the reinstall scenario, though I have not tried it.
