I am right now doing a lockscreen for android i want display it over the default lock screen i trigered service from my activity and from service i called receiver that is called when SCREEN_ON SCREEN _OFF ,ACTION USER PRESENT . every thing is ok untill i press home button so to controll home button i googled and there were many solution i tried everything but nothing worked. How to disable virtual home button in any activity? In this found that i want to make my activity as window manager activity. so searched how to make it. I found this
WindowManager mWindowManager;
WindowManager windowManager = (WindowManager)getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE);
//here is all the science of params
final WindowManager.LayoutParams myParams = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_OVERLAY ,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TURN_SCREEN_ON
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON,
PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT
);
/* WindowManager.LayoutParams params = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_APPLICATION_PANEL,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN |
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED |
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DISMISS_KEYGUARD,
PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT
);*/
myParams.gravity = Gravity.TOP;
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
RelativeLayout mOverlay = (RelativeLayout) inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_main, (ViewGroup) null);
mWindowManager = (WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE);
mWindowManager.addView(mOverlay, myParams);
when i added this in my onstartcommand of my service i fount this error
Caused by: android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException: Unable to add window android.view.ViewRootImpl$W@fa59ecd -- permission denied for window type 2006
when i googled this i found i need to check canoverlay permission at runtime so i check this in my mainactivity before i trigger myservice but even now i'm not able to controll my homebutton . As mine is a lockscreen it is must. i found many lockscreen apps in playstore that have done this. sO IF IT IS possible how to do it. my code: Activity
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
HomeKeyLocker homeKeyLocker ;
boolean askedForOverlayPermission;
final private int REQUEST_CODE_ASK_PERMISSIONS = 123;
public final static int OVERLAY_PERMISSION_CODE = -1010101;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23) {
if (!Settings.canDrawOverlays(this)) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION,
Uri.parse("package:" + getPackageName()));
startActivityForResult(intent, 1234);
}
}
else {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, Myservice.class);
startService(intent);
}
}
public void req(View view)
{
android.os.Process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid());
}
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
Intent intent = new Intent(this,MainActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT |Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
}
my Manifest:
<application

context.startActivity(new Intent(context,
MainActivity.class)
.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK));
} else if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON)) {
// and do whatever you need to do here
Log.d("receiver", "screen on");
context.startActivity(new Intent(context,
MainActivity.class)
.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK));
Log.d("receiver", "aft activity");
} else if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_USER_PRESENT)) {
