Video Description
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was browsing through the /r/AndroidApps subreddit recently and found a post from someone asking how the community would set up an Android device to launch an application right when the device boots up. So in today's video I'll be showing you exactly how that is done.

There are a number of ways we can make this happen, since there are many automation options available in the Google Play Store. OEMs have even begun baking in their own automation system into their firmware but in an attempt to make this as universal as possible, I'll show you how this is done using MacroDroid.

I understand that other apps like Tasker are more powerful as they can automate more things. But until the UI is redesigned I just can't recommend that to people who are not already familiar with it. MacroDroid is just easier to understand and still covers the majority of what people want in an automation application.

You can start by simply searching for this in the Google Play Store, but I'll include a direct link down in the video description for those who would prefer that.

Once installed, let's open up the application and tap through the introduction cards.

Now, we want to add a new Macro to the application, so let's tap the Add Macro button here and this is where we will set up our trigger and our action.

If you're wanting to do something when the device boots up, we first need to set up the Trigger. So tap the Plus icon in the Trigger card and then search for "Boot" a the top here. This sets up the macro so that something will happen when the device has booted up. And this will trigger no matter if we do a simple restart or if we perform a cold boot from the device being completely shut off.

Now we want to set up an action that is performed when the macro has been triggered. So let's tap the Plus icon from within the Actions card and we'll just tap the Applications category here at the top.

We are wanting this macro to open up an app or game when it has been triggered, so let's tap on the Launch Application option here. You are going to see this prompt appear about needing overlay permission. This just how Android's permission system is set up so if you want this macro to work we need to toggle it on for the MacroDroid application.

With that done, we can then go back and finish setting up this action. MacroDroid has some optional settings for launching an application as a trigger, but in my testing neither of these are required. However, you may find them useful in your specific use case. I'm just going to have the Android device launch the Chrome app in this example, but you can scroll through this list and select any app or game that you want.

Let's restart the phone so you can see this type of automation is possible on Android and that what we just set up actually works.
