please check out my new encryption app Alkemi

R
I started writing the encryption code in 2005 (and yes, I know, that doesn't make it good). There are two versions of the app: Android and Windows. You can encrypt on one and decrypt on the other. The apps run totally privately. They do not make changes to your computer or phone (apart from the install), they do not keep a history and do not connect to the Internet unless you instruct them to via email, messaging or sharing.

The encrypted data is in an ASCII format, which I call HEXASCII. It is discussed in detail on the web site. Being in ASCII format you can text, message, messenger, email, tweet, even print out and fax if you want. You can 'hide' your encrypted text within regular text, like with an email.

You can run Alkemi in any of 10 languages like Hindi, Arabic, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Japanese, English, French, Spanish, Russian and German.

I apologize in advance for mistranslations. They are all my own doing.

Here is an example of some text encrypted by Alkemi:

The apps are available on my web site:

and also on Google Play Store and Amazon App Store.

I've always said that since we've been able to have different wallpapers on all of our desktops on Linux, forever, it should be doable on Linux's little brother, Android. I just read the article and said, yes! :D

I went to the app's Play Store page, and everything looked good until a couple of things. One, it hasn't been updated since 2014. Two, it contains ads AND has no way [paid version] to get rid of them. Finally, its ratings are just so-so.

I'd love to use it, but I simply don't do ads. I may try it to see how invasive they are; if they're limited to only when you're actually using the app, not on the wallpapers you choose, it might be tolerable.

But the 2014 thing worries me. A LOT has changed in Android over the last six years!

My HTC 10 gets hot...

tommo47
The battery in my HTC 10 started failing when it was just under two years old. Admittedly it was bought a year after launch, but it had replaced my HTC M9 which also had battery failure around the two year mark and that was bought a couple of months after launch.

So I decided to make a change and went for the Google Pixel 3a. Very pleased with it so far, although I am still using the 10 as a music player and all WiFi access until it fails completely which will hopefully give the Pixel a longer life.

need to replace setUserVisibleHint in AndroidX as it is deprecated, can anybody help

N
I have 3 fragments attached with viewpager.
I have a single database and all three fragments data is connected to each other so if i make any change in fragment 1 & it should also be reflected in fragment 2(when it is visible to user)
previously i was using
Code: 
 @Override
    public void setUserVisibleHint(boolean isVisibleToUser) {
        super.setUserVisibleHint(isVisibleToUser);
        if(isVisibleToUser){
            getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().detach(this).attach(this).commit();
        }
    }

but setUserVisibleHint is deprecated so i need to replace it but cloudn't find proper solution.
I tried to used "detach().attach()" in onResume but it goes to infinite loop then.

Note: i tried to use "notifyDataSetChanged()" instead of detach.attach but it doesn't work properly and takes time to reflect data.
I tried to recreate activity but it push the recyclerView on first item. I want my recyclerView to be show on the same state where it previously was like if it was on item no 24 before leaving it then whenever user comeback on same fragment by doing detach.attach data is refreshed and recyclerView is on same position.

Please tell me the alternative solution for detach.attach on every desired fragment is visible to user.

Thanks

Can't format internal storage micro SD card

jjwenman said:
It's a Kingston 128,GB micro SD card. The only things stuck on the device are android folders and some movies in the torrent folder. And what ever is in tha Lost.dir folder. The files themselves aren't marked as read only but the folders are. But I can't clear that for some reason neither through properties or 'clear attributes readonly' command.

So just taking a shot in the dark here-
What if you were to creste a new folder, and then try to move the files (not the folders) into this new folder?

I am just thinking that you may be able to then delete the files.

Hell, why not even try to compress those files into zip?
Then see what you can do with them.

It sounds like you left the card in the device when you factory reset it.
I have never factory reset a device, so I am just guessing that this may have done anything to the card.

I do know that out of paranoia I would remove the card from any device that I was going to factory reset.
Like I said, I have never done it, but I was taught to CMA as much as possible.

Accessories Questions on Sourcetree version control app

Hello,

I wish to ask if anyone happens to know how to use the desktop app Sourcetree? I just downloaded it and the website's manual are all outdated. They have old screenshots for macintosh but I'm using Windows. Any information would be appreciated. I just started playing around and know very little. I have checked the internet, youtube and very little recent information is available. I hope someone here knows something. Thanks.

Android version problem

MoodyBlues
Welcome to Android Forums, Bs Dash! :)

I know that picking the best board for posting your question when you're new here can be daunting! So let me point you to our Android Development board. Your fellow app developers are more likely to see your question there.

When you post there, please be as specific as possible. For example, if you're using Android Studio, tell them which version you're using and the OS you're on. The more they know, the better able they'll be to offer help.

Good luck with your app!

Phone Numbers On Credit Report

Ahh, for the good old days when wired phone service actually worked and one could have an unlisted number.

My landline works great! Yes, a real, physical, analog, hard-wired landline. :o

No dropped calls, no static, no spotty coverage, no wondering why the other party has been silent for awhile, etc. I plan to keep mine until they're no longer supported--if that day ever comes...but I don't think it will.

Doctors, stores, restaurants, banks, credit card companies, hospitals, police and fire departments, schools, customer service centers, every imaginable business out there will always want stable, reliable calls and connections. So I don't see landlines going the way of the dinosaurs.

Is there a reason you don't have one? Mine is partially due to spotty cell reception [because of the nearby San Gabriel Mountains], but mostly personal preference.
