How To Test BOOT_COMPLETED Broadcast Receiver In Emulator

I want to check the BROADCAST RECEIVER with Action BOOT_COMPLETED in the emulator.

Is there any way to check that broadcast receiver in emulator ? How can i restart emulator to check that receiver ? is there any direct command?

Thanks in advance.

Solution 1:

There is no Power Button in Emulator like Devices have,So

To stop an emulator instance, just close the emulator's window.

And To Start/Restart it Start from AVD Manager of Eclipse and Your BroadcastReceiver with BOOT_COMPLETE action will get called for sure

You can start AVD another way also, From CMD go to Tools of AndroidSDK and give this commmand E:\android-sdk-windows\tools>emulator -avd AVDNAMEHERE

To Send Broadcast from CMD you can use this Command.

adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED -c android.intent.category.HOME -n package_name/class_name

Solution 2:

Basically this is what you have to do to Emulate the Boot Complete in Android Emulater while is is running:Assuming you are a Windows User.The same applies for Linux

STEPS:On your Console type

1. adb shell

2. am broadcast -a android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED

That is all folks. see the diagram below for a detailed illustration.

Happy Coding!
