From http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/UserManager.html, we can find a weird string variable named DISALLOW_FUN, which Specifies if the user is not allowed to have fun.
However, I cannot understand what it means.
Any explanation?
It's an attempt to make Android compatible with Windows Phone users.
AFAIK, it is an Easter egg, along the lines of GRAVITY_DEATH_STAR_I and many other similar jokes in the SDK.

I have to estimate the time it takes to update a specific application made for Android 4.4 to Android 10 and I need to see all the methods that are deprecated or not working. Is there any way to see the methods without going file by file? (I'm using Android Studio with Java)
When I build the application I only get one or two types of error at a time, when I correct them I get another one and so on.
Thanks and best regards.
P.S: How long does it take you to update something like that? I'm a junior and I'm a little lost doing this.
Here, go to Analyze -> Inspect code. After inspecting check maturity there you will have depreciated methods. (Don't forget to change minSdk)
After you will do that it give you method with a warning and you can filter it by having API not support warning
I've tried a number of searches but can't find anything applicable, it may be because I'm just not asking the right question! So please feel free to redirect me if this has been covered elsewhere.
I'm new to Android and to development, but have an idea to use an Application to check other simple apps on the device for potential security holes (this is to design a prototype as part of a course of study).
Before I go any further, is it feasible to use an application to check through/parse/inspect the source code of another app, searching for instances of text/commands/permissions etc (similar to a grep in Linux for example)? Any starting points would be greatly appreciated, things like inter-app communication, converting code into text, searching through that text and reporting and the like.
I think the key might be using an app to inspect a Manifest file of another for permissions settings etc. I've learnt that Dalvik compiled code has big differences to the original Android 'Java'. Is it even possible to use an app to read the Manifest file of another app?
If u use Android Studio try 'code inspect' , 'code analyze'.
I write an App and I'd like to get some informations about the Android devices my users are using.
I'd like to know
manufactor
the Android version
and some kind of unique ID
Is that possible without any special permissions? What is the API?
Take a look at the Build object. It will give you some details about the Android build.
Information about the Android version can be found in Build.VERSION
Hope that helps.
I'd like to know the manufactor, the Android version and some kind of
unique ID. Is that possible without any special permissions?
If you wrote 'permission' word in terms of manifest permission then you dont need any special permission for that , because its not something from user must be aware about application access of that data .
and if you would like to know about Build information then brianestey's answer is much clear to that .
First of all,thanks to everyone, who considers this post.How to detect whether any of the offline language dictionaries,say https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.socialnmobile.colordict&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=livio.pack.lang.en_US&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImxpdmlvLnBhY2subGFuZy5lbl9VUyJd etc.., are installed in android device and if yes, how can I pass the word(for which the definition is required) programatically to the dictionary application.Please help me.
Finally , I prefer a solution for my question, though cant be the exact solution for the question.I used the link, http://thesaurus.altervista.org/dictionary-android
and used the available package and accessed from my application by using intent.
try this-

might be it will be useful for you,good luck
I have come accross code for AirBrakeNotifier in an app. However, Before that i should know what it does. All i have come to know is that it tracks error. I could not find a documentation on it. Can anyone please tell? Thanks
It refers to this library
https://github.com/airbrake/airbrake-android
The original owner now works on https://bugsnag.com/ which may be another tool to track errors in your android application. If you have an API Key, we should be able to find the account as we may already have errors for your app.
Ben from Airbrake.
