I am showing a popup screen when the screen is locked when some event happens.
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON |
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED |
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TURN_SCREEN_ON);
}
Problem is - after a lot of frustration I found this answer, saying that this doesn't work when the activity is using a Theme.Dialog.
I want my activity to not be full screen, its suppose to be more or less like a sms popup notification. how can I do that without the Theme.Dialog Theme?
Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but this wraped everything in the window that pops up for me:
Key part of code is 'WRAP_CONTENT':
WindowManager mWindowManager = (WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE);
View mView = View.inflate(getApplicationContext(), R.layout.dialogue_page, null);
WindowManager.LayoutParams mLayoutParams = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 0, 0,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_OVERLAY,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DISMISS_KEYGUARD
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TURN_SCREEN_ON
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON,
PixelFormat.RGBA_8888);
mWindowManager.addView(mView, mLayoutParams);

I am showing a webView as an alertDialog from a service when my app is not running on foreground, therefore, My webView is attached to the screen via WindowManager.addView() method.
The webView has an input field which I want to be accessible by the user. Unfortunately, when the user clicks on the input field, it is not showing the keyboard for users to allow input.
My webView is inside a cardView who's params are as follows:
public WindowManager.LayoutParams getParamsForOpenWebView() {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
WindowManager.LayoutParams params = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_PHONE,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_ALT_FOCUSABLE_IM
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_WATCH_OUTSIDE_TOUCH
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS,
PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
params.gravity = Gravity.START | Gravity.TOP;
params.x = left;
params.y = top;
return params;
} else {
WindowManager.LayoutParams params = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_ALT_FOCUSABLE_IM
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_WATCH_OUTSIDE_TOUCH
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS,
PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
params.gravity = Gravity.START | Gravity.TOP;
params.x = left;
params.y = 200;
return params;
}
}
If I connect the phone to my laptop and use the laptop keyboard to add inputs to the input field, it works fine but it's just that the keyboard on the phone does not pop-up.
Also, the input is inside the webView therefore I cannot use View.requestFocus() to get focus unlike in case of an EditText.
I would really appreciate any help regarding how to request focus to the webView to allow inputs.
Found an answer to the question myself after a while.
I tried a lot of combinations of different flags but none worked, unless I tried
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_WATCH_OUTSIDE_TOUCH
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_NO_LIMITS
These flags gave the results I wanted and hope it helps someone who goes through the same.
My main goal is to show UI (With EditText, so IME support) Over the lock screen (No matter if there's PIN/Code or simple lock screen).
I know that WhatsApp application is doing it (Settings > Notification > Always show popup) so there's a solution for that.
The UI must be initialized from Service.
The view is a simple textview:
textview = new TextView(this);
textview.setText("Hello There!");
textview.setTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(this,
android.R.color.white));
textview.setTextSize(32f);
I've tried several ways so far:
(In order to reproduce like whats app i'm doing everything when screen off receiver called)
Using WindowManager
WindowManager Params:
params = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TURN_SCREEN_ON
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_WATCH_OUTSIDE_TOUCH,
PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
params.gravity = Gravity.BOTTOM;
params.screenBrightness = 0;
Result: TextView is shown only after we unlock the device
Using Transparent activity
Activity style:
true
#android:color/transparent
#null
true
true
false
Also, has android:showOnLockScreen="true" attribute
Result: TextView is shown only after we unlock the device
Any other suggestions?
Thanks.
Add this in onCreate() of your Activity:
#Override
protected void onCreate(#Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED);
}
I'm using a transparent screenoverlay to detect when a user long presses the power key of their phone (or rather, when the shutdown option dialog appears), this is working fine.
Unfortunately, when this screenoverlay is active, the soft keyboard stops appearing and that is a problem for me. How can I prevent that?
The code I'm using is heavily based on this: Detect power button long press
public void warnOnShutdown() {
if (Settings.canDrawOverlays(this)) {
LinearLayout linearLayout = new LinearLayout(getApplicationContext()) {
public void onCloseSystemDialogs(String reason) {
if ("globalactions".equals(reason)) {
AntitheftStateManager.setShuttingDown(AntitheftService.this, true);
}
}
#Override
public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent event) {
return super.dispatchKeyEvent(event);
}
};
linearLayout.setFocusable(true);
View view = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.system_overlay, linearLayout);
WindowManager windowManager = (WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE);
//params
WindowManager.LayoutParams params = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
100,
100,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_IN_SCREEN
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON,
PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
params.gravity = Gravity.LEFT | Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL;
windowManager.addView(view, params);
}
}
Layout:
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="1dp"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:orientation="vertical">
</LinearLayout>
Edit:
I should probably mention that the LinearLayout is attached to the window manager from a service, that means that the keyboard is not just blocked for my app, it's blocked for the whole phone as long as the service is running.
That's what happens when someone elses code is taken at face value. Turns out that changing the type from TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT to TYPE_SYSTEM_OVERLAY solved my problem.
WindowManager.LayoutParams params = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
100,
100,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_OVERLAY,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_IN_SCREEN
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON,
PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
I'm showing a custom overlay with this parameter inflating the view from a service:
params = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(WindowManager
.LayoutParams
.MATCH_PARENT,
statusBarHeight, WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_OVERLAY, WindowManager
.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_IN_SCREEN
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCHABLE | WindowManager.LayoutParams
.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE, 0);
params.gravity = Gravity.CENTER | Gravity.TOP;
The problem is that if the status bar is expanded, the overlay is over the quick settings menu. How can I avoid that? I'm using android 6.
Instead of TYPE_SYSTEM_OVERLAY use TYPE_SYSTEM_ERROR.
params = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
100,
// Allows the view to be on top of the StatusBar
WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_ERROR,
// Keeps the button presses from going to the background window
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE |
// Enables the notification to recieve touch events
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL |
// Draws over status bar
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_IN_SCREEN,
PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
params.gravity = Gravity.TOP|Gravity.CENTER;
mWindowManager = (WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE);
mWindowManager.addView(mView, mLP);
This should solve your issue.
I want to use Immersive mode on a View. not an activity. but the Appropriate Method does nothing! Code:
final WindowManager wm = (WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
WindowManager.LayoutParams params = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_WATCH_OUTSIDE_TOUCH |
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE |
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL |
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_IN_SCREEN ,
PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
myView = (ViewGroup) LayoutInflater.from(context.getApplicationContext()).inflate(R.layout.sample, null);
myView.setSystemUiVisibility(View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN
| View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY);
wm.addView(myView,params); //I have set some params upper
to Confirm, I'm using these methods in a BroadcastReceiver and I do not want to start an activity.
After Using the above code, Navigation buttons still show up without any swipe. So my view will not be FullScreen on Kitkat+
