Hello,
I try to adapt the A13 for or kiosk equipment running android, to substitute miniitx board.
But I need to start my kiosk app after boot. In our linux minitix it's easy but with android at the moment I don't have succes.
Anyone can help me on this?
I had try some indications that found on the net like:
http://developer.appcelerator.com/question/119219/other-types-than-interval-service-on-android
http://rdcworld-android.blogspot.in/2012/03/start-service-from-broadcast-receiver.html
I don't know if there's some A13 specific command to do.
Google returns lot of results with "Android application start on boot"

Put these in your AndroidManifest.xml:
<application
... >
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
... >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
But there is statusbar and you can go to settings from there. So if statusbar is not important for you, you can remove SystemUI.apk from /system/apk folder. Also you can remove the default launcher app (Launcher2.apk). But copy these files before you delete so you can put them to /system/apk again later.
