Re: [android-developers] Password application

Re: [android-developers] Password application
Yes, I know that the OS already provides it. But i wanted to write my own code, with my own UI. I want to write my own layer that hides the android's security application from coming to front. How do i go about it? @Mark Murphy -> Sir, I really want to be knowledgeable about android like you! You are like everywhere on internet!

[android-developers] Password application
Hi guys, I am thinking of making an application that would lock the phone unless it is unlocked with a user's password. I need to know where to begin from, what part of API's i need to look at, what classes and for what purpose. In short, I just want some keywords that i should explore to get started with the application. Thanks in advance.

[android-developers] password application
Hello, I was wondering if any1 ever thought about creating and app that allows us 2 individually lock certain apps instead of just locking the device itself. For example, if I let sum1 see my phone, I don't want then 2 b able 2 look through my messages or look through my pics. I think this app wud be amazing! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
