How To Test BOOT_COMPLETED Broadcast Receiver In Emulator

Issue

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

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
