I know it might sound weird, but I wanna protect my clients by not allowing other apps to know my clients have installed my app?
I know there is a way to read the installed app like Check if application is installed - Android
So my problem is if there is anyway to make those api doesn't work to your app? so it can make your app like hidden to other apps?
BTW, just wanna clarifying that this problem is meaningful because you don't wanna Facebook app or its 3rd advertisement app know you have something like a porn app in phone.

No.

Sorry. Malware authors would love this.

I'm looking for a way to check if my app is the default option in Tap & Pay and, if the user choses to, make it the default.
My app is developed in Ionic, but i think that for this i will need to make a java/kotlin plugin.
I've been looking for a few days and didn't came across any idea for this.
Thank you!
I have read a lot of similar questions but none seem to answer directly my issue. I am working on a project and want to implement a way to launch 3rd party apps from within a web app. I have found SOME URISchemes and got these launching fine on iOS and some on Android devices by looking in the info.plist file. I have noticed however that a LOT of apps, (most of the ones I've tested to be honest) don't have a URIScheme that I can find to launch the app (I may be looking in the wrong place). There is not really a set list of apps I want to launch, as this will be differ when it is being used by different people. I really would like the ability to launch ANY app installed on the phone/tablet. All the web app will do is link to a database I create as I get feedback from those editing and using the web app which I will manage.
So my question is this, how can I launch ANY app from within the web app?
Apps I'm looking at are not on lists like http://handleopenurl.com/scheme etc.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
For a POS system is there a way or ways to make an application harder to close?
The desire is to have employees be able to use the device and the application, but not use other applications.
The implementation does not necessarily require a password. So far the answers I have seen on similar questions suggest this is not possible. Except in Lollipop per this question : How to make an app unclosable?
Are there any options for older APIs?
Or am I just out of luck?
That is not possible as a feature of the API since the Android system is in control of what is executed or stopped. And that could mean that your app gets stopped for a number of reasons.
To achieve what you are asking for you will need to create your own distribution of the system. I have no experience of doing that but it basically means creating a rom and distribute it.
That would of course be an option if the device running the POS app is only used for that particular task.
My web application run's nicely on every smartphone. An additional native iOS/Android app would have the advantage of being available over the app stores and more visible to users. But I find it unnecessary work to do everything from scratch in all the development environments.
Instead I could make an app that just implements a web browser and just shows the website. Does someone know if this is allowed by Apple/Google at all? I have heard that at least Microsoft seems to have nothing against it in their Windows Phone market.
Thanks
# quape, apple will reject the application made with the idea you are thinking so it will be of no use to move in this direction.
Apple will simply reject the application for lack of functionality...
I have absolutely no idea about Google's policy on that question.
just a stupid question.
Is it possible to write an app that replaces the standard functions of Android like the Phone App or the lockscreen. I've never saw any kind of this Apps. Is there a restriction of Google?
Is it possible to write an app that replaces the standard functions of Android like the... lockscreen.
Not as an SDK application. A lockscreen can only be replaced by creating your own firmware.
No restriction from Google.
Actually, some VOIP dialers are there to replace the phone application.
There are not much examples, because, there is not much scope of development in the apps you mentioned.
For example, why would someone install a new app when he can make calls and do everything related to phone calls using the existing app?
Professional developers first estimate number of prospective users before developing.
