How to Auto-Launch PosterBooking on Android After Startup or a Crash

Why Auto-Launch PosterBooking on Android?

Digital signage screens often run for long periods without anyone actively using the Android device.

A power outage, device restart, or app crash can stop your signage from displaying. Someone would normally need to open PosterBooking again manually.

With AppRelaunch Pro configured, PosterBooking can return automatically.

The setup handles two important situations:

• Android device restarts: PosterBooking can be launched again after the device starts.
• PosterBooking crashes or stops: AppRelaunch Pro can detect the issue and reopen PosterBooking.

This helps keep your digital signage running with less manual intervention.

Step 1: Install PosterBooking on Your Android Device

Make sure the PosterBooking Digital Signage Player is installed and configured on your Android device.

Open PosterBooking and connect the device to your PosterBooking account as you normally would.

Confirm that your assigned playlist or content is displaying correctly before configuring automatic relaunching.

Step 2: Install AppRelaunch Pro

Open the Google Play Store on your Android device and install AppRelaunch Pro.

AppRelaunch Pro is designed to monitor an Android application and launch it again when the selected application is no longer running correctly.

Once installed, open AppRelaunch Pro.

Step 3: Select PosterBooking

Inside AppRelaunch Pro, select PosterBooking as the application you want to monitor.

This tells AppRelaunch Pro that PosterBooking is the application that should remain running on the device.

Step 4: Configure the Restart Settings

Configure the monitoring and restart settings inside AppRelaunch Pro.

You can set a restart timeout that determines how the app handles PosterBooking when it stops responding or is no longer running.

Enable monitoring once your settings are configured.

AppRelaunch Pro will now monitor PosterBooking in the background.

Step 5: Test Automatic Relaunch

Test the setup before leaving the Android device unattended.

Close PosterBooking or simulate a situation where PosterBooking stops running.

AppRelaunch Pro should automatically launch PosterBooking again based on your configured settings.

You should also restart the Android device to confirm that the setup continues working after a reboot.

What Happens When the Android Device Restarts?

AppRelaunch Pro’s background service is designed to survive Android device reboots.

Once the device has started again, the configured monitoring process can resume and PosterBooking can be launched without someone manually opening the app.

This is particularly useful for unattended digital signage installations.

For example:

Power interruption → Android device restarts → AppRelaunch Pro resumes → PosterBooking launches → Digital signage resumes

What Happens If PosterBooking Crashes?

AppRelaunch Pro monitors the selected Android application.

If PosterBooking crashes, freezes, or stops running, AppRelaunch Pro can automatically relaunch it.

The process becomes:

PosterBooking stops → AppRelaunch Pro detects it → PosterBooking relaunches → Content continues displaying

This reduces the chance of a screen remaining blank or showing the Android home screen until someone notices the problem.

Keep PosterBooking Running Automatically on Android

Using PosterBooking with AppRelaunch Pro provides a simple way to make Android digital signage more resilient.

PosterBooking handles the content displayed on your screens, while AppRelaunch Pro helps ensure PosterBooking returns after a device restart or unexpected app crash.

Once configured, your Android signage device can recover from common interruptions without requiring someone to manually reopen PosterBooking.How to Auto-Launch PosterBooking on Android After Startup or a Crash

You can automatically launch PosterBooking when your Android device starts and automatically reopen PosterBooking if the app crashes or stops running.

This setup uses AppRelaunch Pro, an Android app designed to monitor another app and restart it when necessary. This is useful for digital signage screens that need to keep running without someone manually checking the device.
