I encountered an issue where my scheduled tasks stopped working once a device was rebooted. I was informed this was normal behavior for Alarm Manager, and that I should use the BOOT_COMPLETED action. Unfortunately, it is still not working. Here is what I have
The main/launcher activity
public class launch_activity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_launch_activity);
File dbFile = new File(getFilesDir(), "bk.db");
if(!dbFile.exists()) {
try {
InputStream localDB = getAssets().open("bk.db");
OutputStream newDB = new FileOutputStream(dbFile);
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int read;
while ((read = localDB.read(buffer)) > 0) {
newDB.write(buffer, 0 , read);
}
localDB.close();
newDB.close();
} catch(IOException e) {
Log.e(this.getClass().toString(), "IO Error!");
}
}
SharedPreferences preferences = getSharedPreferences("config", MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = preferences.edit();
if(!(preferences.contains("User"))) {
editor.putString("User", "admin");
editor.putString("Pass", "admin");
editor.commit();
}
}
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
SharedPreferences preferences = getSharedPreferences("config", MODE_PRIVATE);
Intent i = new Intent(this, screenSaver.class);
startService(i);
if (!(preferences.getBoolean("configured", false))) { // app has not yet been set-up
// set the timer

This is something that has given me quite some trouble; I genuinely appreciate any help.
