Has anyone got experience with developing an application to replace the default lock screen? I've been told it is not possible, however this application manages it.
Any tutorials or guidance you know of would be appreciated.

I want to set a password for my application which it will require at the time of execution. I want that it should be like lock screen patterns, is it possible?
If yes please help me out to find some helpful material to design lock screen as I have absolutely no idea how to start with it. I've read touch event of Developer.android.com but don't how to proceed further.
This should help you:

Please, give an information whether it works or not. :)
I want to develop an android application that will be an alternative lockscreen.
I searched a lot and i couldn't found an explanation about how to make an app to work like a lockscreen. I understand that there is no official android API for lockscreens, but there must be way, because there are a lot of alternative lockscreens applications in the market.
Does someone know how could i make my app work like a lockscreen? Or if there is a basic code out there of lockscreen app that i can learn from it how to do it?
Thanks a lot (:
The way this is usually accomplished is creating an app that becomes the home application and then when the screen is turned on display your custom lockscreen and hide it when the user successfully unlocks it so they can use the device.
Make sure to take a look at the numerous questions on SO that are very similar to this.
I know that there is already some apps can do this, such as:
WidgetLocker Lockscreen
Flyscreen
I want to know how to do this in my app? What classes I can use? Or what articles I should read? I don't want to change the Android's source code.
And I wonder if it will be different to deal with when the screen is locked by draw pattern?
Have a look at this answer. You need to write your own home screen app which will implement the lockscreen behaviour that you require. There is sample code for writing your own home screen app in the Android SDK.
