I have updated target version from Android 8 to Android 10 after that I am facing an issue that broadcast receiver is not being called on devices(I have tested on Samsung s9(Pie), Mi Note 5(Oreo)) accept Google Pixel 2 XL device(Android 10) but it's working fine on Genymotion Samsung s9 emulator or any emulator. Can anybody tell what could be the possible issue?
There is Service called SipService inside that it registering the Intent filters and we trigger one of the Intent filter from one of the activity. Some codes are as below.
ACtivity
inside onCreate() method
registerReceiver(registrationStateReceiver, new IntentFilter(SipManager.ACTION_SIP_REGISTRATION_CHANGED));
bindService(new Intent(mContext, SipService.class), connection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
And after some Webservice calls and operation we are calling one of the registered Intent Filter as below.
Intent intent = new Intent(SipManager.ACTION_SIP_REQUEST_RESTART);
sendBroadcast(intent);
Inside SipService class
private void registerBroadcasts() {
// Register own broadcast receiver
if (deviceStateReceiver == null) {
IntentFilter intentfilter = new IntentFilter();
intentfilter.addAction(ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION);
intentfilter.addAction(SipManager.ACTION_SIP_ACCOUNT_CHANGED);
intentfilter.addAction(SipManager.ACTION_SIP_ACCOUNT_DELETED);
intentfilter.addAction(SipManager.ACTION_SIP_CAN_BE_STOPPED);
intentfilter.addAction(SipManager.ACTION_SIP_REQUEST_RESTART);
intentfilter.addAction(DynamicReceiver4.ACTION_VPN_CONNECTIVITY);
if (Compatibility.isCompatible(5)) {
deviceStateReceiver = new DynamicReceiver5(this);
} else {

Actually, My bad it was basically ABI(Application Binary Interface) issue that causing the issue in bit 64 devices.
I need to check programmatically if the auto start permission for my app in MIUI phone is on or off. Facebook and whatsapp have this permission already enabled by default , how can I do so?
For now it's not possible.
As it's completely depend on their operating system API's and customisation. Even developers have requested for this on XIOMI's official forums but there is no response from there side.
Till now even i am finding an answer to this question but nothing helped me.
For the time being it will be only possible for rooted phones. i.e. making customisation in their firmware by becoming super user. But this is not at all advisable as it may damage user's phone.
EDIT 1
You can redirect user to autostart permission's settings page for enabling your app using following code
String manufacturer = "xiaomi";
if (manufacturer.equalsIgnoreCase(android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER)) {
//this will open auto start screen where user can enable permission for your app
Intent intent1 = new Intent();
intent1.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.miui.securitycenter", "com.miui.permcenter.autostart.AutoStartManagementActivity"));
startActivity(intent1);
}
EDIT 2
I have recently used Mi A1 from XIOMI which have stock android (not miui) so this phone does not have autostart permission settings from miui. So take care while navigating user to the settings in such devices because it will not work here.
100% working for oppo, vivo, xiomi, letv huawei, and honor
just call this function
private void addAutoStartup() {
try {
Intent intent = new Intent();
String manufacturer = android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER;
if ("xiaomi".equalsIgnoreCase(manufacturer)) {
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.miui.securitycenter", "com.miui.permcenter.autostart.AutoStartManagementActivity"));
} else if ("oppo".equalsIgnoreCase(manufacturer)) {
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.coloros.safecenter", "com.coloros.safecenter.permission.startup.StartupAppListActivity"));
} else if ("vivo".equalsIgnoreCase(manufacturer)) {
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.vivo.permissionmanager", "com.vivo.permissionmanager.activity.BgStartUpManagerActivity"));
} else if ("Letv".equalsIgnoreCase(manufacturer)) {
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.letv.android.letvsafe", "com.letv.android.letvsafe.AutobootManageActivity"));
} else if ("Honor".equalsIgnoreCase(manufacturer)) {
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.huawei.systemmanager", "com.huawei.systemmanager.optimize.process.ProtectActivity"));
}
List<ResolveInfo> list = getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(intent, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
if (list.size() > 0) {
startActivity(intent);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("exc" , String.valueOf(e));
}
}
This is not a perfect solution by any means and it requires some testing, but I've been able to detect the autostart permission on my Xiaomi device with it.
The autostart permission allows apps to be started by receiving an implicit broadcast intent. This method consists of scheduling an implicit broadcast with AlarmManager, killing the app and checking if the broadcast caused it to respawn. A second explicit intent is also scheduled just to make sure that the app is started eventually.
public class AutostartDetector extends BroadcastReceiver {
// I've omitted all the constant declaration to keep this snippet concise
// they should match the values used in the Manifest
public static void testAutoStart(Context context) {
long now = System.currentTimeMillis();
// this ID is for matching the implicit and explicit intents
// it might be unnecessary
String testId = Long.toHexString(now);
Intent implicitIntent = new Intent(ACTION_IMPLICIT_BROADCAST);
// the category is set just to make sure that no other receivers handle the broadcast
implicitIntent.addCategory(CATEGORY_AUTOSTART);
implicitIntent.putExtra(EXTRA_TEST_ID, testId);
PendingIntent implicitPendingIntent =
PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, REQUEST_CODE_IMPLICIT_BROADCAST, implicitIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
Intent explicitIntent = new Intent(ACTION_EXPLICIT_BROADCAST);
explicitIntent.addCategory(CATEGORY_AUTOSTART);
explicitIntent.setComponent(new ComponentName(context, AutostartDetector.class));
explicitIntent.putExtra(EXTRA_TEST_ID, testId);
PendingIntent explicitPendingIntent =
PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, REQUEST_CODE_EXPLICIT_BROADCAST, explicitIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
// calling commit() makes sure that the data is written before we kill the app
// again, this might be unnecessary
getSharedPreferences(context).edit().putInt(testId, TestStatus.STARTED).commit();
// the explicit intent is set with an additional delay to let the implicit one be received first; might require some fine tuning
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, now + BASE_DELAY, implicitPendingIntent);
alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, now + BASE_DELAY + EXPLICIT_INTENT_DELAY, explicitPendingIntent);
// kill the app - actually kind of tricky, see below
SelfKiller.killSelf(context);
}
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
SharedPreferences sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences(context);
String testId = intent.getStringExtra(EXTRA_TEST_ID);
if (testId == null) {
Log.w(TAG, "Null test ID");
return;
}
if (!sharedPreferences.contains(testId)) {
Log.w(TAG, "Unknown test ID: " + testId);
return;
}
String action = intent.getAction();
if (ACTION_IMPLICIT_BROADCAST.equals(action)) {
// we could assume right here that the autostart permission has been granted,
// but we should receive the explicit intent anyway, so let's use it
// as a test sanity check
Log.v(TAG, "Received implicit broadcast");
sharedPreferences.edit().putInt(testId, TestStatus.IMPLICIT_INTENT_RECEIVED).apply();
} else if (ACTION_EXPLICIT_BROADCAST.equals(action)) {
Log.v(TAG, "Received explicit broadcast");
int testStatus = sharedPreferences.getInt(testId, -1);
switch (testStatus) {
case TestStatus.STARTED:
// the implicit broadcast has NOT been received - autostart permission denied
Log.d(TAG, "Autostart disabled");
sharedPreferences.edit().putBoolean(PREF_AUTOSTART_ENABLED, false).apply();
notifyListener(false);
break;
case TestStatus.IMPLICIT_INTENT_RECEIVED:
// the implicit broadcast has been received - autostart permission granted
Log.d(TAG, "Autostart enabled");
sharedPreferences.edit().putBoolean(PREF_AUTOSTART_ENABLED, true).apply();
notifyListener(true);
break;
default:
Log.w(TAG, "Invalid test status: " + testId + ' ' + testStatus);
break;
}
}
}
private interface TestStatus {
int STARTED = 1;
int IMPLICIT_INTENT_RECEIVED = 2;
}
Receiver declaration in the manifest:
<receiver android:name=".autostart.AutostartDetector">
<intent-filter>
<category android:name="com.example.autostart.CATEGORY_AUTOSTART"/>
<action android:name="com.example.autostart.ACTION_IMPLICIT_BROADCAST"/>
<action android:name="com.example.autostart.ACTION_EXPLICIT_BROADCAST"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
Killing the app reliably is another problem. I've been using this helper method:
public static void killSelf(Context context) {
ActivityManager activityManager = (ActivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
activityManager.killBackgroundProcesses(context.getPackageName());
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH) {
// this is all we can do before ICS. luckily Xiaomi phones have newer system versions :)
System.exit(1);
return;
}
// set up a callback so System.exit() is called as soon as all
// the activities are finished
context.registerComponentCallbacks(new ComponentCallbacks2() {
#Override
public void onTrimMemory(int i) {
if (i == TRIM_MEMORY_UI_HIDDEN) {
Log.v(TAG, "UI Hidden");
System.exit(1);
}
}
/* ... */
});
// see below
ActivityTracker.getInstance().finishAllActivities();
}
ActivityTracker is another utility that keeps track of activity lifecycles. Make sure to register it in the Application subclass.
#RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH)
public final class ActivityTracker implements Application.ActivityLifecycleCallbacks {
private final ArraySet<Activity> mCreatedActivities = new ArraySet<>();
public static ActivityTracker getInstance() {
return Holder.INSTANCE;
}
public static void init(Application application) {
application.registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(getInstance());
}
public static void release(Application application) {
ActivityTracker activityTracker = getInstance();
application.unregisterActivityLifecycleCallbacks(activityTracker);
activityTracker.mCreatedActivities.clear();
}
public void finishAllActivities() {
// iterate over active activities and finish them all
for (Activity activity : mCreatedActivities) {
Log.v(TAG, "Finishing " + activity);
activity.finish();
}
}
public Set<Activity> getCreatedActivities() {
return Collections.unmodifiableSet(mCreatedActivities);
}
#Override
public void onActivityCreated(Activity activity, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
mCreatedActivities.add(activity);
}
#Override
public void onActivityDestroyed(Activity activity) {
mCreatedActivities.remove(activity);
}
private static final class Holder {
private static final ActivityTracker INSTANCE = new ActivityTracker();
}
/* ... */
}
You might also want to stop all the services just to be sure.
In addition to Nikhil's answer:
First of all, some apps like Facebook, Whatsapp are whitelisted from Xiomi by default that means auto start permission will automatically be on for these apps.
I also didn't find any way to check for auto start permission if it's enabled or not and enable it programmatically. Though as above answer suggests we can redirect user to auto start permission activity but when we have to redirect user we still don't know and also this will not work in all of the Xiomi devices.
So I used an alternative for my sync adapter to work. I stored a boolean variable named "isSyncAdapterRunning" in shared preferences and set the value of it every time sync adapter runs. This way I'll be able to know if my sync adapter is working or not.
//in my sync adapter
#Override
public void onPerformSync(Account account, Bundle extras, String authority, ContentProviderClient provider, SyncResult syncResult) {
Log.e("TAG", "SyncStarted");
performSync(true);
}
public static void performSync(boolean fromSyncAdapterClass){
//write your code for sync operation
if(fromSyncAdapterClass){
setValueOfIsSyncAdapterRunningVariable();
}
}
I made other background service to perform same task if sync adapter is not working.
//In my other background service
public class BackgroundSyncService extends IntentService {
public BackgroundSyncService() {
super("BackgroundSyncService");
}
#Override
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
SyncAdapter.performSync(false);
}
}
Now start sync adapter:
// start your sync adapter here
//And after that just start that service with a condition
if(!getValueOfIsSyncAdapterRunningVariable()){
startService(new Intent(context, BackgroundSyncService.class));
}
So basically I'm running another service to perform same task in background if my sync adapter is not working and the best thing is only one of them will run at a time.
Above code will fail if user turn on auto start permission and turn off again because value of boolean variable is already set. For that you can set value of boolean variable to default once in every 24Hrs.
Hope this helps.
For now it's not possible.
As it's completely depend on their operating system API's and customization. But i implemented a fix using SharedPreference. It doesn't solved the problem but it prevents app from opening setting screen everytime app is opened. Example :
if (AppPref.getAutoStart(context).isEmpty() && AppPref.getAutoStart(context).equals("")) {
enableAutoStart();
}
private void enableAutoStart() {
if (Build.BRAND.equalsIgnoreCase("xiaomi")) {
new AlertDialog.Builder(context)
.setTitle("Enable AutoStart")
.setMessage("Please allow this app to always run in the background,else our services can't be accessed.")
.setNegativeButton("Deny", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
AppPref.setAutoStart(context, "");
dialog.dismiss();
}
})
.setPositiveButton("ALLOW", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
try {
AppPref.setAutoStart(context, "1");
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.miui.securitycenter",
"com.miui.permcenter.autostart.AutoStartManagementActivity"));
startActivity(intent);
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Can't perform action", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
dialog.dismiss();
}
})
.create()
.show();
}
}
This code worked for me. Simple and easy . Credit

startActivity(intent1);
}
}else {

You cannot check whether autorun permission is enabled or not because autorun feature is provided by customised os only not by android os like mi, vivo, oppo, letv etc
This is a workaround tested on MI, Honor and vivo phones.
To check whether os is customised like miui, honor ui copy and paste this method in activity, fragment or util class
public static void getAutoStartPermission(final Activity context) {
final String build_info = Build.BRAND.toLowerCase();
switch (build_info) {
case "xiaomi":
Utilities.Companion.showAutorunDialog(context);
break;
case "letv":
Utilities.Companion.showAutorunDialog(context);
break;
case "oppo":
Utilities.Companion.showAutorunDialog(context);
break;
case "vivo":
Utilities.Companion.showAutorunDialog(context);
break;
case "Honor":
Utilities.Companion.showAutorunDialog(context);
break;
default:
break;
}
}
Where
fun showAutorunDialog(context: Context) {
val builder = AlertDialog.Builder(context)
//set title for alert dialog
builder.setTitle("Alert")
//set message for alert dialog
builder.setMessage("Enable Autostart permission for this app if its disabled in app settings in order to run application in background.")
builder.setCancelable(true)
//performing positive action
builder.setPositiveButton("Enable") { _, _ ->
addAutoStartup(context)
}
// Create the AlertDialog
var vpnDialog = builder.create()
// Set other dialog properties
vpnDialog!!.setCancelable(false)
vpnDialog!!.show()
}
private fun addAutoStartup(context:Context) {
try {
val intent = Intent()
val manufacturer = Build.MANUFACTURER
if ("xiaomi".equals(manufacturer, ignoreCase = true)) {
intent.component = ComponentName("com.miui.securitycenter", "com.miui.permcenter.autostart.AutoStartManagementActivity")
} else if ("oppo".equals(manufacturer, ignoreCase = true)) {
intent.component = ComponentName("com.coloros.safecenter", "com.coloros.safecenter.permission.startup.StartupAppListActivity")
} else if ("vivo".equals(manufacturer, ignoreCase = true)) {
intent.component = ComponentName("com.vivo.permissionmanager", "com.vivo.permissionmanager.activity.BgStartUpManagerActivity")
} else if ("Letv".equals(manufacturer, ignoreCase = true)) {
intent.component = ComponentName("com.letv.android.letvsafe", "com.letv.android.letvsafe.AutobootManageActivity")
} else if ("Honor".equals(manufacturer, ignoreCase = true)) {
intent.component = ComponentName("com.huawei.systemmanager", "com.huawei.systemmanager.optimize.process.ProtectActivity")
}
val list: List<ResolveInfo> = context.getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(intent, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY)
if (list.size > 0) {
context.startActivity(intent)
}
} catch (e: java.lang.Exception) {
Log.e("exc", e.toString())
}

You could use this library to check the autostart permission state on MIUI 10, 11 and 12.
https://github.com/XomaDev/MIUI-autostart
// make sure device is MIUI device, else an
// exception will be thrown at initialization
Autostart autostart = new Autostart(applicationContext);
State state = autostart.getAutoStartState();
if (state == State.DISABLED) {
// now we are sure that autostart is disabled
// ask user to enable it manually in the settings app
} else if (state == State.ENABLED) {
// now we are also sure that autostart is enabled
}
To check if permission enabled, I just starting a foreground service and check if is running.
Service:
class ExtraPermissionStateService: Service() {
companion object {
private var instance: ExtraPermissionStateService? = null
fun isAppCanRunOnBackground(context: Context): Boolean {
val serviceIntent = Intent(context, ExtraPermissionStateService::class.java)
context.startService(serviceIntent)
return instance != null
}
}
override fun onBind(p0: Intent?): IBinder? {
return null
}
override fun onCreate() {
super.onCreate()
instance = this
}
override fun onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy()
instance = null
}
}
call it:
ExtraPermissionStateService.isAppCanRunOnBackground(context)
And don't forget on the manifest:
<service android:name=".helpers.utils.ExtraPermissionStateService"/>
I have tried the below solution and it worked for me. If the "Auto Start" is enabled it will return "true", if not it will return "false".
public class CustomPermissionCheck {
private static final String TAG = "CustomPermissionCheck";
private Context context;
private static final int APP_AUTO_START_PERMISSION_CODE = 10008;
public CustomPermissionCheck(Context context) {
this.context = context;
}
public boolean isAutoStartEnabled() {
try {
AppOpsManager appOpsManager = (AppOpsManager) context.getSystemService(Context.APP_OPS_SERVICE);
Method method = AppOpsManager.class.getMethod("checkOpNoThrow", int.class, int.class, String.class);
int result = (int) method.invoke(appOpsManager, APP_AUTO_START_PERMISSION_CODE, android.os.Process.myUid(), context.getPackageName());
boolean isEnabled = result == AppOpsManager.MODE_ALLOWED;
return isEnabled;
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return false;
}
}
You have to do allow and deny for system permissions.
below is the code:
private boolean checkPermission(){
int result = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
if (result == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode) {
case PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE:
if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
Snackbar.make(view,"Permission Granted, Now you can access location data.",Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {
Snackbar.make(view,"Permission Denied, You cannot access location data.",Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
break;
}
}
I am writing an IME (InputMethodService) and I have an edit text that in the IME itself, but when I want type text into the edit text , the edit text can't get focused and what I type just go to another edit text outside the IME. how can I make the edit text inside the IME work like normal edit text
The way I solved this was by keeping two input connections, one to the original textfield that the user WAS editing, and another to the textfield inside the keyboard. More on the second one later. The first one you should already have, it's where the keyboard sends all of its commands. In my case it was called mIC. So I created another InputConnection variable called mOtherIC on my class that had the InputConnection, and introduced a new method called getIC() which just returned the appropriate one of those two InputConnections to be using at the time (controlled by a boolean in my case, true meant use the textfield in the keyboard, false meant use the textfield that originally presented the keyboard). Every time I had previously accessed mIC, I replaced it with getIC() so it would seamlessly be able to send input to the correct input connection.
The InputConnection for the textfield in the keyboard is the interesting one here, I essentially had to copy the internal Android EditableInputConnection into my own CustomInputConnection class:
public class CustomInputConnection extends BaseInputConnection {
private static final boolean DEBUG = false;
private static final String TAG = "CustomInputConnection";
private final TextView mTextView;
// Keeps track of nested begin/end batch edit to ensure this connection always has a
// balanced impact on its associated TextView.
// A negative value means that this connection has been finished by the InputMethodManager.
private int mBatchEditNesting;
public CustomInputConnection(TextView textview) {
super(textview, true);
mTextView = textview;
}
#Override
public Editable getEditable() {
TextView tv = mTextView;
if (tv != null) {
return tv.getEditableText();
}
return null;
}
#Override
public boolean beginBatchEdit() {
synchronized(this) {
if (mBatchEditNesting >= 0) {
mTextView.beginBatchEdit();
mBatchEditNesting++;
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
#Override
public boolean endBatchEdit() {
synchronized(this) {
if (mBatchEditNesting > 0) {
// When the connection is reset by the InputMethodManager and reportFinish
// is called, some endBatchEdit calls may still be asynchronously received from the
// IME. Do not take these into account, thus ensuring that this IC's final
// contribution to mTextView's nested batch edit count is zero.
mTextView.endBatchEdit();
mBatchEditNesting--;
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
// #Override
// protected void reportFinish() {
// super.reportFinish();
//
// synchronized(this) {
// while (mBatchEditNesting > 0) {
// endBatchEdit();
// }
// // Will prevent any further calls to begin or endBatchEdit
// mBatchEditNesting = -1;
// }
// }
#Override
public boolean clearMetaKeyStates(int states) {
final Editable content = getEditable();
if (content == null) return false;
KeyListener kl = mTextView.getKeyListener();
if (kl != null) {
try {
kl.clearMetaKeyState(mTextView, content, states);
} catch (AbstractMethodError e) {
// This is an old listener that doesn't implement the

The class looks pretty bad because I commented out code that wouldn't build, presumably because it accesses internal Android APIs. That said, with a few caveats (cursor probably needs to be set manually when you switch to this input method, capitalization kind of carries-over between the two InputConnections), it works. All you have to do now is at some point set mOtherIC from my first paragraph to a new CustomInputConnection(yourTextfield) where yourTextfield is the textfield inside the keyboard.
I want set my current user to not authenticated every time the phone goes to sleep or the app is switched off (i.e. either goes to the desktop or another app), so that they always have to authenticate when the app comes back on again.
I don't want to do this in the OnStop or OnPause methods in each activity, only when the app isn't currently active.
Ideally there would be an OnStop method in the Application base object or some other global context, similar to this:
public class MyApp : Application
{
public override void OnCreate()
{
base.OnCreate();
}
}
but unfortunately this doesn't exist. Is this possible?
It turns out there isn't. The solution was to test in an inactivity timer, e.g.:
private void InactivityTimer_Elapsed(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
_secondsElapsed += 1;
if (_screenEventReceiver.IsScreenOff || IsApplicationSentToBackground(this.ApplicationContext))
{
// do things that you would OnStop here
}
}
public static bool IsApplicationSentToBackground(Context context)
{
try
{
var am = (ActivityManager)Context.GetSystemService(Context.ActivityService);
var tasks = am.GetRunningTasks(1);
if (tasks.Count > 0)
{
var topActivity = tasks[0].TopActivity;
if (topActivity.PackageName != context.PackageName)
{
return true;
}
}
}
catch (System.Exception ex)
{
Errors.Handle(Context, ex);
throw;
}
return false;
}
private class ScreenEventReceiver : BroadcastReceiver
{
public bool IsScreenOff { get; private set; }
public override void OnReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
if (intent.Action == Intent.ActionScreenOff)
{
IsScreenOff = true;
}
else
{
IsScreenOff = true;
}
}
}
for some specific requirement
I am required to change Android Default Home application
with my customized Home application ( a setting inside my app that will toggle default home = my application or previous home)
I don't want the user to travel android settings that are very complicated.
Can any one help me out like where it registers launcher.apk for default
home application or how to change that
The only thing I could find was that old question: How to change default Android's Desktop application?
but no answers at all.
I have seen HomeSwitcher in the Market that do the trick, but no answer for the developer that might certainly be busy.
EDIT
I found this on the web http://www.mail-archive.com/android-developers#googlegroups.com/msg74167.html
But I got the same issue:
this is my code:
private void makePreferred() {
PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
IntentFilter f = new IntentFilter("android.intent.action.MAIN");
f.addCategory("android.intent.category.HOME");
f.addCategory("android.intent.category.DEFAULT");
ComponentName cn = new ComponentName("com.example.android.home", "com.example.android.home.Home");
pm.addPreferredActivity(f, IntentFilter.MATCH_CATEGORY_EMPTY, null, cn);
I have the android.permission.SET_PREFERRED_APPLICATIONS set in the
manifest. After executing the code above, the logs claim things have
been added like expected (same logs as when I tick off "Make default"
from IntentResolver's list). However, when I proceed by clicking home,
the list still shows up and the logs say:
INFO/PackageManager(52): Result set changed, dropping preferred
activity for Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=
[android.intent.category.HOME] flg=0x10200000 } type null
So it seems the resolver deletes the default entry. Am I doing
something wrong, or is this a security measure? What are the ideas
behind this?
I did an extensive research on that and starting from 2.2 there is no way to do that. The only way is using some hacking that toddler lock app does but this app put samsung phones recently in the infinite loop, so it is a risky approach.
if you look at the froyo source code here of packagemanager class, you will see this small condition in the addPreferredActivity method:
if (getUidTargetSdkVersionLockedLP(Binder.getCallingUid())
< Build.VERSION_CODES.FROYO) {
Slog.w(TAG, "Ignoring addPreferredActivity() from uid"
+ Binder.getCallingUid());
return;
}
HomeSwitcher does not work properly on 2.2 since it uses this very method and developer made a comment on app page "Froyo(2.2) is not supported
due to the API change"
"Result set changed" means that the set of packages matching that intent has changed from the set you specified when you created the default - - so the default is no longer valid. Your list of components (which you are currently setting to null) needs to contain all homescreen apps present on device, not just yours.
Here's example code that I have tested (using adb shell am start http://www.google.co.uk/ ) and used to set the default browser. XXX represents a customer name that I had to black out.
Note that in order to call addPreferredActivity you must have compiled against a minimum-sdk version of 8 (2.2) and you must have specified the SET_PREFERRED_APPLICATIONS permission. That permission is protection level 2, so you need to be signed with the same certificate as PackageManager.
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
filter.addAction("android.intent.action.VIEW");
filter.addCategory("android.intent.category.DEFAULT");
filter.addDataScheme("http");
Context context = getApplicationContext();
ComponentName component = new ComponentName("com.opera.mini.XXX", "com.opera.mini.XXX.CustomerBrowser");
ComponentName[] components = new ComponentName[] {new ComponentName("com.android.browser", "com.android.browser.BrowserActivity"),
component};
pm.addPreferredActivity(filter, IntentFilter.MATCH_CATEGORY_SCHEME, components, component);
ETA - if you marked this response down, could you let me know why. The code I posted above is tested and working...
startActivity(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_HOME_SETTINGS));
This code works on my ICS device: I use a service that is sensible to some call, one of them is called SET_PREFERRED_LAUNCHER, the put in a bundle your new default Launcher package (PREFERRED_PACKAGE_KEY) and it's activity (PREFERRED_ACTIVITY_KEY)
