how to check whether boot receiver is working?

Question

I created a boot receiver class:

public class BootReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
         Log.d("Boot receiver","Working")
    }
}

My manifest file:

 <receiver android:name="com.voonik.android.receivers.BootReceiver">
       <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON" />
       </intent-filter>
 </receiver>

Permission: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>

I used the adb command - am broadcast -a android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED

Still i cant be sure whether it is working.How can i test it?

I think you have missed the @Override for on receive.

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
 Log.d("Boot receiver","Working")
}

in my manifest i have;

 <receiver
    android:name=".BootUpReceiver"
    android:enabled="true"
    android:permission="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" >
     <intent-filter>
       <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />    
       <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
     </intent-filter>
 </receiver>

and;

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />

in BootUpReceiver.java i have;

public class BootUpReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

        Intent i = new Intent(context, Main.class);  
            i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
            context.startActivity(i);  
    }    
}

You should just be able to see your Log in the logcat, try using System.out.println("BOOT RECEIVED"); instead of Log
