howdy, Zuojun!
|
Mark M. |
how can I help you?
|
Zuojun Z. |
Hello
|
Zuojun Z. |
I have a question: I want to launch an application when system boots
|
Zuojun Z. |
It is like a launcher
|
Zuojun Z. |
I know that I can do it by editing the framework level
|
Zuojun Z. |
and set my app as launcher in the manifest file, then delete the system own launcher
|
Zuojun Z. |
I want to know whether I can do it just in application level, replace the launcher by my own edtion
|
Mark M. |
you can make yours be an option for the user
|

Mark M. |
you cannot force the user to choose yours, nor can you remove the system's launcher
|
Zuojun Z. |
My assumption to do it is that I can edit the system. Because it will be an custom ROM
|
Mark M. |
then your original plan is probably what you want:
"set my app as launcher in the manifest file, then delete the system
own launcher"
|
Zuojun Z. |
Can I finish it in application level? I do not want to edit the framework level.
|
Mark M. |
I repeat: you can make yours be an option for the
user, but you cannot force the user to choose yours, nor can you remove
the system's launcher at the application level
|
Zuojun Z. |
OK. Thanks you.
|
Zuojun Z. |
Do you know any blog or something mentioned this kind of function? If there is some I will appreciate it
|
Mark M. |
I do not know what you mean by "this kind of function"

Mark M. |
if you mean "how to create a custom ROM", that is not my area of expertise, sorry
|
Zuojun Z. |
build an own launcher to replace the system edition
|
Mark M. |
I do not have any resources on how to replace a system launcher, sorry
|
Zuojun Z. |
It is OK. Never mind
|
Zuojun Z. |
I just read your book. Its material is abundant.
|
Zuojun Z. |
Thanks for your work
|
Mark M. |
you are very welcome
|
Zuojun Z. |
Besides the office hour, is there other way to ask questions to you?
|
Mark M. |
I answer many questions on StackOverflow, though certainly not all of them
|
Zuojun Z. |
Yes. I found your blog on stackoverflow

OK, if I have question I will ask questions there and labeled "commonsware"
|
Mark M. |
the 'commonsware' tag is for questions regarding the book or my open source projects
|
Mark M. |
please do not use that tag for general Android development questions
|
Zuojun Z. |
yes, that is right
|
Zuojun Z. |
I have no more question today
|
Zuojun Z. |
Have a nice day
|
Mark M. |
you too!
