How can I execute some application(Simple C application which does not have UI) after android device booting

Question

I made simple status check application in android device. It was used with only C language without Java. It does not have UI. It is made in the /vendor/bin/myapp . How can I execute myapp after android device booting. I have android evaluation board and BSP source code. How should I implement /vendor/bin/myapp is executed after booting. Should I modify /system/core/rootdir/init.rc ? If yes, how can I do? or Are there other way to execute myapp after android device booting?

Answer 1

Steps to define myapp as native daemon as below;

1. Add the service definition to init.rc file
2. Add your app under the service context in SePolicy file
