How To Test BOOT_COMPLETED Broadcast Receiver In Emulator

Question

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.

Answer 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
