I know how to disable the keyboard toolbar through the settings but was curious if anyone knew of a way to disable it through programming? Thanks
I was messing around with this quite a bit today because our app runs in kiosk mode and the Samsung keyboard toolbar effectively provides a backdoor into the Android OS Settings which is obviously not ideal for an app running in kiosk mode.
Anyhow, adding the following properties is what finally did the trick for me. I hope this helps someone out.
android:inputType="textPassword|textVisiblePassword"
android:privateImeOptions="disableToolbar=true"

I have tried all solutions already provided on StackOverflow but they are all quite old and no one seem to have tried it for nougat. I am making a utility tool which allows a user to toggle airplane mode on nougat, Someone please share a way to do that programatically. Also I have not been able to find any help regarding notification pull down programatically.
You can't toggle airplane mode programatically. Check the Official Android 4.2 API Documentation
Also tried all the older suggestions, the only thing i have in mind is to open the airplane mode screen with :
Intent airPlaneModeIntent = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_AIRPLANE_MODE_SETTINGS);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(airPlaneModeIntent);
and then use adb commands to tap on the radio button with the on/off setting.
I'm trying to create a custom lockscreen for Android version 7.1.1. (Nougat). I know that there are a lot answers on how to create a custom lockscreen, but whatever code I try to use, it's not really working.
The problem appears because of using deprecated methods. The app crushes, and there are no methods to replace the deprecated ones.
Does anyone know a way that this still works?
These are some of the links I've tried to use (there were a few older ones also but I didn't save them):
how to make our own lock screen in android instead of default lock screen

Create custom lockscreen for android 4.0 or above?
At the end I managed to make this app working. My biggest problem was to put my device in kiosk mode (disabling hardware buttons when the lockscreen is displayed). The solution that worked for me was enabling device owner mode using Android Debug Bridge. It wasn't the best solution, but it was the most acceptable one for this project.
Here are some of the links that I used to achieve this:

I have a custom rooted android tablet working on Android M version. We built a kiosk application and next step is removing navigation bar completely, while our application is working. Also, when administrator close our application, navigation bar should appear again.
Before asking this question, I researched on Internet and find a lot of people have this problem. However, answers to theirs question were generally, making application to work in full-screen mode or in immersive full-screen mode.
These answers didn't help me at all, because user still can fling on screen and navigation bar would show again. These solutions are probably the best that can be done with an unrooted device, but in my case I need a better solution and my device is rooted.
Also, I saw this answer link, but after using this command my desktop went black, and couldn't reboot android system again. Happily I have recovery USB so my device is working again. :)
I found another answer link, and like others, didn't help me because I need to reboot system after adding line of code (qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1). Also, solution that I looking for is fully dynamical and done by code.
I am really convinced that this isn't mission impossible, because we had old tablet (also rooted) with button in back, which can hide and show navigation bar without rebooting it.
Any help is appreciated.
I can't help you with your problem, but provide a little more information.
The company im working for is using devices in kiosk mode, but we have custom android devices from a hardware producer, which provides a custom HAL interface. We can set the kiosk mode via that interface.
My guess is it cant be done easily, if it was easy, we would have not gone that way. Hope it helps.
I am developing an Application where I need to go completely full screen. In kitkat its very easy by using Immersive tag. But since not all devices support kitkat I need to take JB and ICS (atleast) into consideration.
Well although there is a way of hiding navigation bar and status bar in JB and ICS it becomes visible as soon as the user interacts. This certainly does not looks good. It also takes one extra touch.
I did a lot of searching on net and was surprised that there is no way we can achieve it. I was hoping to find some trick or hack but nothing.
I am pretty sure that before kitkat came there were games which used full screen so I guess there should be a way (like Temple Run and Andgry Birds). Can some one please guide me in correct direction.
P.S: I am looking solution for devices which are not rooted.
Thanks :)
Use a full screen theme, or set it from code as described here https://developer.android.com/training/system-ui/status.html
As I already pointed out in the comments, this will give you full screen. Not the immersive mode as seen on KitKat where the user can easily unhide the status bar. If you're going with the theme approach it's probably best to set a not full screen theme on API19+ (KitKat) and tell it to use Immersive mode from there on.
I just ran in to to an issue with immersive mode locking my app when testing on a android tablet (nexus7).
The only way to exit the lock was to swipe up to get back the software navigation bar and exit immersive mode.
How do I prevent this? What is happening?
The issue only appears when trying to enter immersive mode on a non-owner account. Android tablets support multiple users but apperently only one of them is considered "owner" According to issue https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=62366 the problem is known by google but no fix as of yet.
The problem is that the helpscreen that pops up is hidden/invisble but is still receiving the touchevents. It can be removed by clicking in the correct location but it can be somewhat tricky to find it when you have no visual clues as to where to click.
Hope this helps save someones time!
