[android-developers] Re: LVL: possible to check license for a different app?

Does any-one has a solution to this? I would really need this to work! Isn't there any way to check the license of one package from another package? On Thursday, January 23, 2014 8:47:16 AM UTC+1, 3c wrote: > > Hello, I was really wondering the same thing (for a different purpose),

[android-developers] Re: LVL: possible to check license for a different app?

Hello, I was really wondering the same thing (for a different purpose), however no-one clearly answered your original question here, so I've actually tested it directly. First thing, I had to modify the LVL library to take a package name and version code as parameter instead of using the curren

Re: [android-developers] Re: Jelly bean swiping task away from task list kills service

Hello Dianne, Unfortunately since Android KitKat, the process is killed with its background services, and those are not restarted as they should (when using STICKY service). This is a serious issue for any widget app or any background services meant to stay alive. At the same time this happens,

[android-developers] TRANSACTION_getPackageInfo cannot be used on KitKat

Hello all, First, I know I should not do that, but that's the only way I found to ensure the APK signature has not been tampered with and is not being spoofed (that is the signatures as returned by normal API returns the original APK signature but it no longer matches the real one! So the belo

[android-developers] Re: Swipe app out of recent tasks permanently kills app (like force-stop) even though it's running background services!

I cannot agree with this as the recent task list in no way suggest killing the apps. Actually every users seems to see it differently. Some take that recent task list as the name suggest, recent tasks and activities, others see it as you suggest an app killing, but most users don't know what's

[android-developers] Swipe app out of recent tasks permanently kills app (like force-stop) even though it's running background services!

The swipe app out of recent tasks is supposed (as far as I understand it) to terminate all activities but keep services running. This is true (and I verified that behavior) until KitKat (verified on 4.4.1 and 4.4.2). In KitKat, the app is killed instantly: 12-12 22:04:47.386: I/ActivityManager(7

Hello Diana, I need to know when my app is updated, because now on JB it is forced-stopped which prevents services to continue to do what user wants them to do. However I don't want app to be started for every app update taking place! So you suggest to filter on package name, however there is

A pity no-one replied. Anyway, I decided to get rid of the sub-menu and on item selection, open a new context menu. Only issue was to actually keep it open, and I had to delay the opening of the sub-menu. The following got rid of the flickering and ensured the sub-menu remained open. Had to us

Re: [android-developers] Detect Intent Broadcast Receivers

This statement is not entirely true either: queryBroadcastReceivers will not return anything if using a PACKAGE_REPLACED intent alone. Same goes for many other intents in which it seems required to add specific scheme/type/data to get some results. Not sure it's worth asking here: how do i gat

Re: [android-developers] Programmatically remove permission

Obviously they all use root permissions. But the post didn't mention "without root access". It's true, but requires root access and here is how to do it... would be a more valid and constructive answer. Though I don't personally know how to do that, but I'm interested in knowing how, with root
