I'm using an Amlogic TV Box with Android 9.

I'm trying to get an app to launch at startup, but the app will not launch.

The method I'm using is:

/data/local/userinit.sh

#!/system/bin/sh
am start com.package.name

#!/system/bin/sh
am start com.package.name/com.package.name.ActivityName

This version of Android does not have the Auto-start manager in settings to do it the easy way.

You need to wait for the Android's Zygote process which starts app processes, and SystemUI app which shows notifications and status bar at top, and preferably Home/Launcher app which show app icons, to come up before executing that command. – Irfan Latif Oct 08 '21 at 10:24
