Is it possible to use the default security settings, which user has set to the phone, as a locking or login mechanism for my app too? I mean like when we reset the phone, it asks for phone password or pattern.
Is it possible the same way that I can use the default android password or pattern set by user to login to my app?
My goal is to bypass the developing effort and use some standard way of authentication without making user to remember another new password.
NOTE: I'm aware that I can lock the screen programmatically. But instead, I want to use the lock as a verification before performing any critical operation. (Just like how Settings ask for the password before resetting the the phone.)
Actually, there is an API to exactly that using the KeyguardManager.
First get a the Keyguard SystemService:
KeyguardManager km = (KeyguardManager)getSystemService(KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
And then request an authentication intent using:
Intent i = km.createConfirmDeviceCredentialIntent(title,description);
start this intent using startActivityForResult(Intent, int) and check for RESULT_OK if the user successfully completes the challenge.
This is for API level 21.
Previous versions might work with KeyguardLock.
I'm just following #agi with few enhancement,
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private static int CODE_AUTHENTICATION_VERIFICATION=241;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
KeyguardManager km = (KeyguardManager)getSystemService(KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
if(km.isKeyguardSecure()) {
Intent i = km.createConfirmDeviceCredentialIntent("Authentication required", "password");
startActivityForResult(i, CODE_AUTHENTICATION_VERIFICATION);
}
else
Toast.makeText(this, "No any security setup done by user(pattern or password or pin or fingerprint", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if(resultCode==RESULT_OK && requestCode==CODE_AUTHENTICATION_VERIFICATION)
{
Toast.makeText(this, "Success: Verified user's identity", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else
{
Toast.makeText(this, "Failure: Unable to verify user's identity", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
Update 2022,June:(minSdk : 24, targetSdk: 32,compileSdk : 32)
Code Enhancement to #Abhijit Kurane's reply...
Replace startActivityForResult with startActivityIfNeeded...(#startActivityForResult is deprecated as of now)
For Beginners : And put finish() inside the else statement of onActivityResult method for not letting the user to open the activity without verification!

Android screen lock/ unlock programmatically
and
How to lock/unlock phone programmatically : Android
and many questions i have searched for answer but i didn't got the exact answer for my usage.
I would like to get a enter credentials or Enter pin page in Lock Screen Default System Lock Screen.
When we say Ok Google the Google will prompt to enter the credentials .
I need the same time. I m asking just to wipe out screen and enter credentials
Give me the answer which would for All android versions.
You can use the below code to open password/pin/pattern screen and validate user device credentials:
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
KeyguardManager km = (KeyguardManager) getSystemService(KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
if (km.isKeyguardSecure()) {
Intent authIntent = km.createConfirmDeviceCredentialIntent(getString(R.string.dialog_title_auth), getString(R.string.dialog_msg_auth));
startActivityForResult(authIntent, INTENT_AUTHENTICATE);
}
}
and also implement onActivityResult's method to get the results in your case is successful or not.
// call back when password is correct
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == INTENT_AUTHENTICATE) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
//do something you want when pass the security
}
}
}

I am trying to display the Drop-in UI in my app upon clicking a specific button. I have used the guide from Braintree site but for some reason nothing is happening.
Code below:
OnClick function:
public void onClick(View v){
switch (v.getId()){
case R.id.showUI_button:
onBraintreeSubmit(v);
break;
}
}
Drop-in functions:
public void onBraintreeSubmit(View v) {
PaymentRequest paymentRequest = new PaymentRequest()
.clientToken(token)
.amount("$10.00")
.primaryDescription("Awesome payment")
.secondaryDescription("Using the Client SDK")
.submitButtonText("Pay");
startActivityForResult(paymentRequest.getIntent(this), REQUEST_CODE);
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE) {
if (resultCode == BraintreePaymentActivity.RESULT_OK) {
PaymentMethodNonce paymentMethodNonce = data.getParcelableExtra(
BraintreePaymentActivity.EXTRA_PAYMENT_METHOD_NONCE
);
String nonce = paymentMethodNonce.getNonce();
// Send the nonce to your server.
}
}
}
I have checked that the token is returned from the server.
I have also tried by setting the onClick via the xml code of the button and removing the onClick from the java file but the result is the same, no UI shown.
The log has only two lines
performCreate Call Injection Manager
Timeline: Activity_idle id:android.os.BinderProxy#etc
Any ideas? If more info is needed to understand better let me know
Actually I found this there is a "BraintreeFragment" set up part. Braintree documentation needs to be more clear on this I think.
https://developers.braintreepayments.com/guides/client-sdk/setup/android/v2
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
try {
mBraintreeFragment = BraintreeFragment.newInstance(this, mAuthorization);
// mBraintreeFragment is ready to use!
} catch (InvalidArgumentException e) {
// There was an issue with your authorization string.
}
}
The above code should work along with the previous code posted. mAuthorization is the token and needs to be valid to show the payment screen (so the variable "token" in the previous code posted which in my code I just have as private but visible from the whole activity).
Try with the test token that they have on their page and if this works then the main setup is ok.
https://developers.braintreepayments.com/start/hello-client/android/v2
For setting up tokens on your server, they have further documentation so that those test tokens work on the sandbox.
I've implementing voice-search on my Android-TV app using the following small code
private void displaySpeechRecognizer() {
Intent intent = new Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH);
intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE_MODEL,
RecognizerIntent.LANGUAGE_MODEL_FREE_FORM);
startActivityForResult(intent, SPEECH_REQUEST_CODE);
}
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode,
Intent data) {
if (requestCode == SPEECH_REQUEST_CODE && resultCode == -1) {
List<String> results = data.getStringArrayListExtra(
RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_RESULTS);
String spokenText = results.get(0);
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), spokenText, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}
This is all working well and I get the result back for further processing.
The problem is that I also want to give the user the possibility to enter the search-string manually with the virtual keyboard.
In Googles own apps you do this be simply pressing RIGHT on the remote to give focus to the textbox after pressing the voice-search icon.
In my example above I can see the "built-in-textbox" when I press the search icon but if I try to navigate to it the search is interrupted and closed.
How do I access the search-textbox? This should cancel voice-input and bring up the keyboard instead, just like Play Store app.
Are you using Leanback support library for your Android TV app design?
I guess "Google Play Store app" and "YouTube app" are using BrowseFragment & SearchFragment for search. These Fragments are providing build-in search UI.
For the implementation, see Google's sample source code or SearchFragment – Android TV app Tutorial 12.
I want to connect my game with google play service. i have read documentation on android developer and try to following type-a-number sample and still can't load leaderboard.
i have import baseGameUtils, but i use andengine so i didn't use extends BaseGameActivity from google.
what i have until now:
- GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this) return success
- startActivityForResult(pickAccountIntent, REQUEST_CODE_PICK_ACCOUNT); is working well and i got my account name from onActivityResult(..);
- i already put this on my manifest.
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.games.APP_ID"
android:value="#string/app_id" />
my questions are
1. can i use google play service without extends BaseGameActivity?
2. if i use gameHelper.beginUserInitiatedSignIn(); after i got my account name, i got this on log cat. (what this connected mean? because i still got error on next question)
08-25 00:09:01.890: D/BaseGameActivity(11222): isGooglePlayServicesAvailable returned 0
08-25 00:09:01.890: D/BaseGameActivity(11222): beginUserInitiatedSignIn: starting new sign-in flow.
08-25 00:09:01.890: D/BaseGameActivity(11222): All clients now connected. Sign-in successful.
08-25 00:09:01.890: D/BaseGameActivity(11222): All requested clients connected. Sign-in succeeded!
3 . how do i use connect()? i have read and tried about gameClient and GameClientBuilder but i have no idea how to use that. when i tried run this code.
startActivityForResult(gameHelper.getGamesClient().getAllLeaderboardsIntent(), RC_UNUSED);
i got this log.
08-25 00:09:05.660: E/AndroidRuntime(11222): java.lang.IllegalStateException: Not connected. Call connect() and wait for onConnected() to be called.
4 . to use leaderboard i know i must use code from google play store such as CgkIx****AIQAA. but i didn't found where i must put this code to load leaderboard.
sorry for long question, but i think if there is a sample that only for connect and either access achievement or leaderboard it will answer all my question. please don't tell me to see type-a-number sample, i did that and i need another sample code.
update, my snipped code
public class MainMenu extends Activity
implements OnClickListener, GooglePlayServicesClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GooglePlayServicesClient.OnConnectionFailedListener, GameHelperListener{
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main_menu);
gameHelper = new GameHelper(this);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(v.equals(loadData)) {
if(gameHelper.isSignedIn()) {
gameHelper.setup(this, GameHelper.CLIENT_GAMES, Scopes.GAMES);
startActivityForResult(gameHelper.getGamesClient().getAllLeaderboardsIntent(), RC_UNUSED);
}
}
else if(v.equals(loginButton)) {
Intent googlePicker = AccountPicker.newChooseAccountIntent(null,null,new String[]{GoogleAuthUtil.GOOGLE_ACCOUNT_TYPE},true,null,null,null,null) ;
startActivityForResult(googlePicker, REQUEST_CODE_PICK_ACCOUNT);
}
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(final int requestCode, final int resultCode, final Intent data) {
if(requestCode==REQUEST_CODE_RECOVER_PLAY_SERVICES) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Google Play Services must be installed.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
finish();
}
return;
}
else if(requestCode==REQUEST_CODE_PICK_ACCOUNT) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
String accountName = data.getStringExtra(AccountManager.KEY_ACCOUNT_NAME);
gameHelper.beginUserInitiatedSignIn();
}
else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
Toast.makeText(this, "This application requires a Google account.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
finish();
}
return;
}
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}
// this 2 methods not called, is this also because my code is wrong?
#Override
public void onSignInFailed() {
Log.d("rush", "on sign in failed");
}
#Override
public void onSignInSucceeded() {
Log.d("rush", "on sign in succeed");
}
}
Yes. Take a look at the BaseGameActivity source and see that it largely just wraps GameHelper. You can implement the calls to GameHelper yourself - in fact, you can probably copy some code directly from BaseGameActivity. I'm a bit confused, because it appears that your code is already using GameHelper. It looks like you are mixing GameHelper calls with BaseGameActivity calls. You cannot do this, and it will result in... errors like you are getting.
The LogCat you see means that all of your clients are connected. The default call to GameHelper.setup() just requests the Games client. If you aren't using BaseGameActivity and want different clients, do:
gameHelper = new GameHelper(this);
gameHelper.setup(this, GameHelper.CLIENT_GAMES | GameHelper.CLIENT_PLUS);
beginUserInitiatedSignIn() is an asynchronous method with a callback when it finishes. Are you running it that way? GameHelper.GameHelperListener is the interface to implement. If you are using gameHelper, make sure to register the callback. See the this in the setup call above? That's registering the callback (this is my main activity).
As I said above, it looks like you are mixing GameHelper calls with BaseGameActivity calls. The GameHelper that is connected is the BaseGameActivity.mHelper instance, not any GameHelper you might have instantiated. Make sure that if you are using BaseGameActivity that you are not using GameHelper as well.
If you want to display a single leaderboard, use the GamesClient.getLeaderboardIntent(string, int) or method to get the Intent. The string is the code you have (CgkIx****AIQAA).
startActivityForResult(gameHelper.getGamesClient().getLeaderboardIntent(
leaderboard_id, RC_UNUSED);
Again, make sure you are using the correct getGamesClient() method, depending on if you are using BaseGameActivity or GameHelper directly.
Here is basic information how to use GameHelper without BaseGameActivity:
https://developers.google.com/games/services/android/init#using_gamehelper_without_basegameactivity
On Androids Facebook SDK there is a single login feature which I can't get to work.
Done all the key hash thing but maybe there is something wrong with this method.
What exactly should I pass on, or could somebody explain what this is supposed to do?
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
facebook.authorizeCallback(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}
Facebook Single Sign On works fine, but the documentation is not all that great. Get your class to override the Facebook DialogListener.
To request Single Sign On, make sure you're calling Facebook to authorize your app -
facebookClient = new Facebook(FB_APP_ID);
facebookClient.authorize(this,
new String[] {"publish_stream", "read_stream", "offline_access"}, this);
And you also need to override the OnComplete method. Your OnActivityResult method is absolutely fine.
I used the code given by this gentleman here, and it worked perfectly fine for me, except that some of the code that he'd written was using the old API, so you might need to change some parameters passed to methods.
I don't think single sign on could work well in the Facebook Android SDK.
In the method private boolean startSingleSignOn(Activity activity, String applicationId,String[] permissions, int activityCode){} ,you will see below
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setClassName("com.facebook.katana",
"com.facebook.katana.ProxyAuth");
try {
activity.startActivityForResult(intent, activityCode);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
didSucceed = false;
}
In fact, package com.facebook.katana doesn't exist in the Facebook Android SDK.so the method private boolean startSingleSignOn(Activity activity, String applicationId,
String[] permissions, int activityCode){} will return false ,then it means that single sign-on is Not available.
facebookClient.authorize
This method doesn't work on my device until I renamed those parameters:
"com.facebook.katana","com.facebook.katana.ProxyAuth"
to
"com.facebook.katana1","com.facebook.katana.ProxyAuth1"
=(
