I'm not able to start activity in MIUI 11 redmi note 6 pro mobile, I am getting error as:
com.android.server.am.ExtraActivityManagerService: MIUILOG- Permission Denied Activity
I found some solution like turn on "start in background" permission. I can't find something like this with MIUI 11. Literally I have no idea about this issue. Thanks in advance.
I have a similar problem with starting activity from BroadcastReceiver when application is stopped.
1) You can find your app in the settings and allow permission "start in the background".
2) If you need to allow permission programmatically, try to open application settings
Xiaomi
This code will open applicatin permissions settings in which you should allow "start in the background"
Intent intent = new Intent("miui.intent.action.APP_PERM_EDITOR");
intent.setClassName("com.miui.securitycenter",
"com.miui.permcenter.permissions.PermissionsEditorActivity");
intent.putExtra("extra_pkgname", getPackageName());
startActivity(intent);
Devices without system wrappers
This code will open the applicatin settings in which you should open permissions and allow "start in the background" permission
Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);

And you can also check the code from github to work with permissions in different system wrappers like flyme, miui, oppo etc:

Hope this helps you!
If you have other options for resolving this issue, I would appreciate a reply in the comments . . .
EDIT: I discovered these are known as FLOATING NOTIFICATIONS. Anyone knows how to enable them by default from the app (through a permission etc) on an Android device?
I am currently testing push notifications on an Android device and noticed that although I get the push notifications, they are not popped up on the screen but stay in the background (I need to drag down the top status bar as per picture). I see this as rather useless as the user is not really notified if he's using the phone:
On iPhone, the pop up displays correctly with no issues whatsoever.
I've finally made it work using Expo.Notifications.createChannelAsync using priority: "max" and when sending a message add channelId: "mychannel".
To show a so called floating notification, app must have the permission SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW.
A permission is something given by the user. So, there is no way to enable them by default from the app. What you can do is to take user to the settings page.
Check if you already have the permission
The recommended way to do this is using Settings#canDrawOverlays(Context).This permission is introduced only in API level 23. Therefore as per doc, it there is no need to check the permission in older devices.
However it is seen that this won't work well as expected in some pre-Marshmallow devices like Xiaomi Mi 2. So is better to do it as shown in this post.
Take user to the settings page if there is no permission
If the app targets API level 23 or higher, the app user must explicitly grant this permission to the app through a permission management screen. The app requests the user's approval by sending an intent with action Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION.
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("package:" + context.getPackageName()));
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_EXCLUDE_FROM_RECENTS);
context.startActivity(intent);
I am building an android application where I am using some services. My services get close when application is close in some custom android OS like MI.
Then I figure out we have to push our application in white list of security autostart application.
I got some SOF link's where they are suggesting below answer.
String manufacturer = "xiaomi";
if(manufacturer.equalsIgnoreCase(android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER)) {
//this will open auto start screen where user can enable permission for your app
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.miui.securitycenter", "com.miui.permcenter.autostart.AutoStartManagementActivity"));
startActivity(intent);
}
This above code used to send user to that particular page.
Now I have to check if my application is disable so I can send user to this page and if it is enable then move to other screen. Is there any way to check this?
There is no Android API to check if the the AutoStart is enabled or not. Though you can have your own logic in the App (may be you can use preference to set a Boolean for it) to check this. Also the above way to enabling the AutoStart might not work always. Please have a look here
i want to know that is there any way i can prevent my android app from killing from task manager. Whether it's any third party app, clears from ram manager or user clicks force stop. i just don't want kill my app from background, It should be running.
How to disable the "Force Stop" button
Short answer: Use the Device Administration API.
How do I demonstrate that it works?
Yes, back to your job. Use the API link provided above and the Api Demos included in Google's sample collection to figure out how to integrate this into your app.
Build the demo and run it on your device.
Choose API Demos->App->Device Admin->General->Enable admin.
Choose Activate once the Device Administration API prompts you with its enabling screen.
Exit the app and attempt to manage the app via your device's settings menu (specifics for this step varies by device).
When viewing the Api Demo's "app info" screen, you should see both Force Stop and Uninstall are disabled.
How do I do this in my own app?
Review DeviceAdminSample.java in the Api Demos app for inspiration. You will need the following:
The following code is what brings up the activation screen:
// Launch the activity to have the user enable our admin.
Intent intent = new Intent(DevicePolicyManager.ACTION_ADD_DEVICE_ADMIN);
intent.putExtra(DevicePolicyManager.EXTRA_DEVICE_ADMIN, mDeviceAdminSample);
intent.putExtra(DevicePolicyManager.EXTRA_ADD_EXPLANATION,
mActivity.getString(R.string.add_admin_extra_app_text));
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE_ENABLE_ADMIN);
However, there are a few other pieces you will need to get this to work:
A broadcast receiver that derives from DeviceAdminReceiver.
Entries in your manifest file that refer to the above broadcast receiver.
Permissions in your manifest for using the Device Administrator API.
An xml file stating what policies your app can access.
All of this can be found in the above links. Good luck with your client!
This might be a dirty way to do this. But it worked for me.
Just override onDestroy() method in service and start that service again.
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
Intent intent = new Intent(this,YourService.class);
startService(intent);
}
I have Android Marshmallow on a Nexus 6. I am trying to fix the following problem:
If a user is trying to grant permission while a notification is showing, a "Screen overlay detected" message gets displayed and the Request Permission dialog disappears - of course the app does not get the requested permission. (Check screenshot)
I tried to fix the problem by adding "DRAW OVER OTHER APPS" permission - android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW to the manifest but with no luck.
PS: I am sure the problem is caused by the notification. I do not have any app installed that overlays over other apps, I even turned off all apps with "Draw over other apps" permission in the settings. Did not help..
Anyone knows a solution to that problem?
In the circumstance that I ran across, I was causing the problem myself. It was the result of using a Toast to display information to the user at the same time that I was asking for permission. Both of these actions together cause this type of error.
The other answers might resolve someone else's issue. But I wanted to note that you should be cautious of causing your own overlays errors. Be careful of overlaying something in the view while simultaneously asking for permission.
Uninstall Clean Master app. I uninstalled it and problem solved
This problem appear because of some culprit application like Twilight, cleaner-master, drupe etc..
To solve this problem you have to disable screen overlay for those culprit apps.
i have moto g4 plus, and this is how i solve this problem
Go to Setting --> Select Apps ---> again select setting icon in Apps ---> select draw over other apps ---> and disable culprit apps who trouble for other apps.
what i done is checking each apps by disabling this permission and try to run my app, and i found one app this troubling overlay for other apps, so at the end i disabled only this app.
ScreenShots:
Got insights from multiple answers here and other forums .
Consolidating how I got rid of the issue :
Go to Settings > Apps > (your app which is getting issue)
Press on Power button till window for Power off , reboot , airplane mode comes up
Hold on Power off option
Select reboot in Safe mode
Go to settings > apps > (your app which is getting issue)
Select whichever permissions you want
After Android M update , issues can come up in apps like Messenger , Whatsapp , Prisma etc.
Let me know if any issues .
Note : I am having One plus One mobile.
This popup is caused by the manifest.PERMISSION.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW permission declared by the manifest.
The are 3 categories of permissions, that developer must be aware of :
Normal permission - do nothing with them, just declare in the Manifest
Vulnerable permissions - declare in Manifest and ask for permission at first time. They can be changed through system settings.
Above dangerous permissions: SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW and WRITE_SETTINGS belong to this category. They must be granted, but are not visible in system settings. To request for it you don't use a standard way (int checkSelfPermission (String permission)) but you have to check Settings.canDrawOverlays() or Settings.System.canWrite() appropriately and if you not do that you will get exception like
Unable to add window android.view.ViewRootImpl$W#1de28ad -- permission denied for this window type
1-Request this permission by yourself in your code just like given below:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
public final static int REQUEST_CODE = 10000;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
if (checkDrawOverlayPermission()) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Permission granted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
public boolean checkDrawOverlayPermission() {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
return true;
}
if (!Settings.canDrawOverlays(this)) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION,
Uri.parse("package:" + getPackageName()));
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE);
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
#Override
#TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.M)
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE) {
if (Settings.canDrawOverlays(this)) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Permission granted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
I just deleted my app and turned off my Nexus 6P. After turning it back on, I reinstalled the app and no longer got the "screen overlay" dialogs when giving the app permissions.
You must disable the overlay for all the apps you see in the list. Only this way can you modify authorizations in the app you need.
I've done that in safe mode, and it worked.
At the end I rebooted the phone and now it is working fine.
I updated my Sony Xperia Z3 (Dual Sim) to Android 6.0.1 (Marsmallow). I have been having screen overlay issues. For me i do not have Clean Master, Du Speed, or Du Booster(as the solutions i have read).
So i solved mine looking for any screen overlay apps.
A screen overlap app, is an app that you can use to access other apps on your main home screen without leaving your home screen. So for me the Screen Overlay App here in my situation was the OMNI SWIPE. So if you are facing this problem you need to calm down and check which of your app fits the definition of a screen overlay app.
locate the app and uninstall then restart your phone ..
i just finished doing this and am having a good time with the phone
Best of Luck
As long as Android 6.x is buggy on some devices where this "overlay alert" is displayed without any reason (on 2 to 5% of the devices according to my analytics data), the best solution is to avoid the whole permission process by defining the targetSdk to 22.
Take care that you can't downgrade the target sdk for a new version or this will induce a INSTALL_FAILED_PERMISSION_DOWNGRADE error when the user updates requiring an unisntall/install of the app.
solution is
remove Toast messages from onRequestPermissionsResult method
This happens when you have granted overlay permission to malicious apps. Go to overlay settings and disable the overlay feature on all apps that don't belong to google and you will be good to go.
I got this problem when installing a new app.
The way I got around this problem is to manually enable the permissions for the newly installed app (before running the app).
I’m pretty sure this is a problem with Android and Samsung devices in particular.
Hope this helps
Delete the apps which have screen overlay like CM security, Clean Master, etc.
Even delete and try with Messenger (FB app) if needed.
