In my app i was able to show text on lock screen using these params settings

params = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
            WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
            WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
            WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_ERROR,
                    WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE
                    |WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TURN_SCREEN_ON
            |WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED,
            PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);

but in android 6.0 and above where WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_ERROR is deprecated i used WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY

it shows overlays on every activity successfully but unable to show the View on lock screen, anyone can help me how to show a button or text view on lock screen using any way in android 6.0 and above thanks

  • have you added this Search for permission android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW and WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT. – akshay_shahane Feb 21 '19 at 13:38
  • Yes i am using android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW in manifest and WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT is deprecated in android 6.0 instead i have to use WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY but its not working – Shahzaib Official Feb 21 '19 at 13:47
