You need to go for root functionalities to enable/disable it – prashant0205 Jun 13 '16 at 08:11
if we play any video, it will just show blank screen in recording, but audio will get recorded. – Aditya Patil Sep 17 '21 at 14:10

In Java you can write above your setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SECURE, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SECURE);

& in kotlin you can write it as

window.setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SECURE, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SECURE)
