Question

I’m trying to run a simple on boot receiver. I just need to get one record from my database (which does exist – tested), I’m testing it with Toast message (is that possible?). Nothing happens when phone boots :

Receiver :

    public class OnBootReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    int milibaza;    


    @Override 
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { 
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub 


    Cursor cursor = DatabaseManager.getAllData(); 
    if(cursor !=null) 
    { 
    cursor.moveToFirst();    
    milibaza = cursor.getInt(2); 
    Toast.makeText(context, ((new StringBuilder("Vrijeme u bazi").append(milibaza).toString())), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
cursor.close();   
    }              
    } 
    }

Get all data method :

public static Cursor getAllData() 
    { 
        Cursor cursor=null; 
        if(db!=null)
        { 
            cursor=db.query(TABLE_NAME, new String[] { TABLE_COLUMN_ID, TABLE_COLUMN_ONE, TABLE_COLUMN_TWO }, null, null, null, null, null); 
        } 

        return cursor; 
        }

Values in manifest connected to receiver I’m trying to run :

 <receiver android:name=".OnBootReceiver" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />

I don’t think you can launch the Toast using the context from the BroadcastReceiver onReceive() function. Try using an Intent to launch an Application Activity instead.
