android-recents

What I want to do is to know when user closes the app from Android Launcher's menu, which gets opened on home button long click: I want to do some operations when user closes the app. Actually, I want user to logout each time he leaves the app, but as long as he can close app in this was too, I have to handle this event and then make my operations. I've tried to google this one, but I couldn't find anything considering this. I don't want to override onStop() or onDestroy(), as long as the user may come back to the app then, in that case I don't have to make my changes. Don't advice this. I

I am trying to fix a bug in my code, and am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. If my app goes into the background, and gets resumed by the user just going into "apps" and selecting my app, everything works fine. However, if they put it into the background and resume it by holding down the home button, and selecting it from the recent apps list, I get a bug. I was under the impression these two actions should do the exact same thing? Does anyone know what the difference is between resuming an app from the normal list of apps, vs resuming it by holding the home button down and

I have found that Android recent app dialog can be disabled by disabling package com.android.systemui . I want to run my (rooted) device in kiosk mode so it is essential that the recent apps dialog not be shown on long press. Now, exactly what does com.android.systemui do? I don't need notifications and power indicators and stuff so it is OK if that kind of cosmetic stuff disappears. It is also OK if soft input home buttons disappear because I have replaced them with a software app (Button saviour). Is it safe to disable com.android.systemui , or do I risk subtle system hangs in certain

I have an app with an exported activity that can be invoked from other apps (Specifically the sharing action - android.intent.action.SEND ) How can an exported activity be excluded from recents? I don't see a way to set the FLAG_ACTIVITY_EXCLUDE_FROM_RECENTS flag, because it is invoked from the outside. The reason I want to do this is because this intent becomes the last one in my activity stack, thus when clicking on the recents, a file is being re-shared instead of the main activity to pop up. Note : android:launchMode="singleTask" solves the problem in a specific case, only where another

Since Android Lollipop, we have now an API for accessing apps usage stats. However, your app must be granted those permissions by the user. I know that for redirecting the user to those settings using Settings.ACTION_USAGE_ACCESS_SETTINGS. Now, my question is how do you know the user has granted you those permissions so that you can stop redirecting him to the settings. Thanks! tzanou you can simply query usagestats with daily interval and end time the current time and if nothing is returned this means the user hasn’t granted permissions @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) public boolean
