Some way to prevent one app steal focus of another app

Yes, I'm in Brazil, and the fun fact is that 99 was originally a brazilian ride share company, bought for the chineses.

I'll try to contact the developers, as suggested. Thanks for your attention!


Apparently 99 is owned by DiDi Chuxing. https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/99_(aplicativo)
I'd be interested to hear what the 99 devs have to say. I'm very familiar with DiDi, but only in China.

Pixel Lock Screen Notifications

It does, but it's transient. Fine if you are looking at the screen at the time, but once it goes dark again there is nothing.

That's where the notification LED won.

That's fine for me. I work at a desk and have the phone in my line of sight but we'll out if the way, so as long as it lights up, if only for a second, that meets my needs.

Is the Basic Activity with Fragments the standard new basic activity?

As I'm going through Android tutorials, I'm seeing a lot of 'make a new basic activity.' The basic activity shown in Android Studio has a button on it and that's what I'm seeing in the tutorials, but when I make a new basic activity I get one with fragments. It always has fragment_first.xml and fragment_second.xml. None of the tutorials I've seen have had any fragments in their new basic activities.

I've spent several days trying to figure this out. I haven't been able to find a single resource on it except this one. I even got in contact with one of the tutorial creators who told me he didn't see what I was seeing. I've verified that I am indeed clicking on "Basic Activity." I'm not sure if I have a setting changed or what.

Moto g7 power is very quiet but only when receiving calls - not the other way around

Hi all,

My mum has a moto g7. She can call out and all is fine

As soon as she takes an incoming call she has to put it on loudspeaker for either myself or her to hear each other.

This isnt on just my phone, others phones also and our home phone. Very odd.

Any ideas?

Cheers
so the volume on the incoming calls are low? when you say loudspeaker you mean the speaker option correct? or do you mean you have to turn the volume up? so this happens on your phone as well as your mom's phone? or are they the same phone? and is your home phone a different moto g7? or an actual home phone?

have you checked your volumes in your phone's settings? you should be able to set the volume level how you want it. also did this start to happen? or was this all of a sudden?

Photo transfer (not all transfer)

How do you put photos from e5 onto goggle then?
you just need to either install google photos or sign in to google if you already have the photos app. once it syncs up with your google account it should automatically upload your photos for you. if not you can check your google photo's settings. i have mine set to automatically syn when on wifi. so that if i take a photo or two when i'm out an about and if my phone is already on wifi it will do it automatically. it works out great as soon as i'm back from work at my house, i can just hop on my computer and my photos i took that day are accessible on my computer without hooking up cables from my phone to pc.

Emulator will not load virtual camera on Mac

Hi,

I am getting this error when I try to run the command line emulator with a custom virtual camera (i.e.
./emulator -avd Pixel_2_API_29 -camera-front webcam1):

emulator: ERROR: _camera_client_create: Cannot find camera info for device 'OBS'

The error appears after an application tries to load the camera.

The virtual camera works in other programs, and I have a similar setup working on my Linux machine. Does anyone have any ideas why the camera could be being rejected by the emulator?

Charging: Fast or slow.. which is better?

Well I'm very sorry to say that, in my opinion, taking two differing views, contained in one thread about a subject that dozens of other members have also made contributions to in many similar threads regarding battery life, does not justify the expression 'most contributors here', particularly when you have used one of, if not the, most respected contributors, not to mention Moderator, @EarlyMon.

Oppo F9 Private Safe recovery

I am assuming here that there is no alternative to opening the Private Safe app, unlocking it and copying the files from it, because unless frankly if there is another way then that's a serious design fault (I don't have an Oppo so cannot test). So, assuming that is the case I have two questions:

1) Is it just the display that's gone, or is the touchscreen dead as well?
2) Does this device support any type of screen mirroring, specifically something that doesn't require you to do something in order to enable it?

The reason I ask is that you need to interact with it, and you need to be able to see what you are doing. If the touch layer is still working, even if the display is not, you can use that to interact. If not then you should be able to use a keyboard or mouse via a USB OTG adapter (cheap if you don't already have one), or a bluetooth keyboard or mouse if you already have one paired and it auto connects. Many phones support mirroring via HDMI if you have a suitable connector, but I don't know this model's specs. Wireless mirroring (e.g. via a Chromecast) is also possible, but you need to be able to start it (and set it up if you don't already have it) whereas wired mirroring, where the device supports it, should just start when you plug it in (at any rate it does with the older devices I've used it with).

So if you have a working touch layer and can mirror via a cable to a TV or monitor, you should be able to get into the private safe, remove the documents to somewhere less secure, then email them to yourself or copy via USB (or using the SD card if it has one). If don't have a working touch layer the challenge is to get mirroring and mouse/keyboard input working at the same time (wired screen mirroring plus a bluetooth input device, or wireless mirroring and a USB input device). This works great once you've done it, but getting it set up when you have to swap between interacting (wired keyboard/mouse) and seeing what you are doing (wired mirroring) is "fun". I have actually done this: unlocking a phone, getting to the bluetooth settings and pairing an input device to it by swapping between interacting and seeing (see where you are, plan your next move, swap to input device, attempt move, swap back to mirroring, see what happened, plan next move, repeat ad nauseam and beyond), but it takes patience. The good news is that at least the fingerprint scanner works, so you don't have to enter a PIN blind before you can do anything else!
