I am using an implementation of locker screen which locks (is displayed on top) the current activity when it is idle for X seconds.
However the view for the locker activity is not displayed in the preview image after clicking the Home and Recent buttons.
How could I force to make my app's view blank or display my locker view in the recent list?
I could set my activity visible to gone, but is there any other solution?
Try the attribute, android:noHistory="true"
for the activity tag in the manifest file.
Try FLAG_SECURE:
public class FlagSecureTestActivity extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SECURE,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SECURE);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
}
It will automatically display a grey background when Recents button is pressed.
A possible side-effect would be that you cant take the screenshot of the activity you are defining this way.
The recents app gets something like a "screenshot" when the app goes to background, so before go to background you can fill your activity with a black LinearLayout and onResume check if this LinearLayout is showing and hide. Maybe there are better solutions but this may works.
