android-4.4-kitkat

I was able to enable kiosk mode in pre-KitKat-releases by killing the com.android.systemui process. Anyhow, this seems not to work in KitKat-releases: After killing the process the whole screen got stuck and I am not able to press any buttons. After inspecting similar apps from the Play Store I saw recent updates providing a compatibility for KitKat (e.g. Sure lock demo link ). Can somebody explain this KitKat-compatibility? Can somebody name a new way to hide the navigation and status bar in KitKat-releases with root priviledges? Best regards in advance, Greeny May be you can give a try with

I have ImageView which is inside the CardView as below in my code. My ImageView scaleType="fitXY" is not working on pre-lollipop devices.But it looks better on Lollipop devices.

I have a problem that I can't find the answer to. I have tried the AndroidDeveloper tutorials, I have searched here on stackoverflow and on google but either my search-skills are awefull or there's no answer I think answers my problem. I want to stack message notifications into one notification for all new messages when there are more than one. I can make a notification appear for each message but I cannot make a stack/summary notification. The best I get is this : http://developer.android.com/images/android-5.0/notifications/Summarise_Dont.png What I want is this : http://developer.android

Background I'm making an app that downloads some images from the Internet into a specific folder that is defined as: final String pathToPutFiles = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES) + File.separator + DOWNLOAD_FOLDER_NAME; I wish to make the gallery and any app that shows media, to be notified of those images and be able to show them. Sadly I'm having problems on Nexus 4, which has Kitkat version (4.4.2 to be exact). Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. The problem There are plenty of posts about this issue, and I've tried many of them and

I'm trying to do some app development for Android with Eclipse and my Nexus 5. However, after the first time loading MyFirstApp from Eclipse, I can't seem to get the authorization right. When I run adb devices from the command prompt, I end up getting 0350b965215d9854 unauthorized or 0350b965215d9854 offline and even after restarting everything, I only sporadically get the authorization popup on my phone. Even if I select 'always allow from this computer' checkbox (pic below), my computer remains unauthorized. I have never had it remember authorizing my computer as the checkbox would suggest.

I am using the new KitKat Transitions API on Android. I have created two Scene objects using two layouts. I animate from Scene 1 to Scene 2 inside a Fragment . I want to automatically move back to the previous Scene when the user presses the back button. Is there some kind of built-in backstack mechanism when using Transitions , or do I have to roll my own? It is easy enough to call TransitionManager.go(scene1) , but I really do not want to implement an onBackPressed() listener in all my fragments that have Scene animations. I ended up rolling my own solution. Have your Activity implement this

I have a custom view written in Kotlin using JvmOverloads that I could have default value. class MyView @JvmOverloads constructor( context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet? = null, defStyle: Int = 0, defStyleRes: Int = 0 ) : LinearLayout(context, attrs, defStyle, defStyleRes) All works fine in Android 5.1 and above. However it crashes in 4.4, since the constructor in 4.4 doesn't have defStyleRes . How could I have that supported that in 5.1 and above I could have defStyleRes but not in 4.4, without need to explicitly having 4 constructors defined like we did in Java? Note: The below would works
