Help Securing apps

If I let someone use my phone for a while (e.g. make a phone call), how can I prevent the person from reading messages e.g. whatsapp, sms, notes? Is there something like adding a password/fingerprint to apps before it can be opened, or maybe show another screen that do not have whatsapp, sms, notes app?
Thanks.

Help How to always start volume at 0?

I always put my phone on silent mode.

Usually if I start playing a media clip, I will increase the media volume and forget about it. After playing a media clip (e.g. voice message in whatsapp or youtube video) I want my phone [media volume] to immediately decrease to 0. Meaning at the start of every clip I want it to start at 0 volume (then I will increase slightly by pressing the + volume button) so I will not disturb anyone of get a sudden loud noise when I play any media.

Using Samsung Galaxy Note8

Thanks

Do Not Disturb allows phone to ring when connected to Bluetooth

I have a Samsung Galaxy S21+. Do Not Disturb mostly works, but when it's on and someone calls, if my phone is connected to a Bluetooth speaker, it RINGS through the Bluetooth. When not connected to Bluetooth, DND works and no ring occurs.

This seems like a bug.

I have been through all my DND settings and there are no exceptions at all. Is there any way to prevent the phone from ringing through my Bluetooth-connected speaker when DND is on?

Blah..

I am so tired of seeing emails every other day of "Hey why not buy you the next gen moto edge it is now in Verizon" honestly it just screws up, whomever decided hate the beta team of Moto edge's, hey guess what, do not screw up your cell that badly in the first place.. "All it requires is blood of virgin and a bat wing to get it started." What next? Right.....

Best video editing app

Hi, I'm looking for a video editing app for Android that allows me to position clips independently in the timeline. Every app I've tried so far shuffles all the clips together when one clip is removed.

I make music videos and it is impossible to work like this, as they are not constructed linearly, and clips get moved about or deleted, but it's imperative all other clips remain where they were.

Music player - Great offline music listening experience with lyrics support

Wouldn't a music player app be more interesting if it had lyrics player support?

Seeming to understand this, the Music player team has added the Lyric feature. Now you can experience music to its fullest and most wonderful.

In addition, we have a very interesting music player theme, which I will introduce in the next article.

Let's use Music player - Mp3 player and give us suggestions. Thank you very much!

Help Low Memory

Greetings Android Forum:

Thanks for your time. I was recently creating some art in Sketchbook Pro Mobile on my 16gb Galaxy Tab S 10.5 SM-T800 tablet, and got the message I was running out of space. I went through and ran C Cleaner, but I still only have about 1 GB and change available. How do I get it down to about half of the 16gb max the tablet has? Here are my specs:

TABLET:
SAMSUNG SM-T800 running

**CLEARED CACHE IN ALL APPS TO 0

Looking forward to hearing back as I'm working on an art commission and need to free up significant space. Thanks.

internet using metro pcs

does metro pcs have the ability now to do internet like t mo has? if so how does that work compared to t mo? i had a t mo trashcan about 3 years ago to test and it seemed to be a good unit. i live close th there 5g towers and according to the t mo website they show me in the 5g tower shadow.

anyway one reason i did not keep it was i could not port my cameras thru that modem, so did they ever get that resolved? i understand they have 2 types of modems for the internet one the t mo forum called a trashcan being it looked like a small can. but i have heard they now have a different unit that is better.

we have metro pcs phones and i wonder if we can hook up one of those internet modems onto our account. also what is the price for these now? back then they were 60$ per month. and i never did find out if they allowed wifi calling when we are home like the comcast modem does, because i had that modem running i never tried to see if the phones worked thru it.

and if i could connect my tv to it? on comcast i get 10 channels so i have ota signals but we do use the roku box so that has to work on the metro modem.

also because we are retired i wonder if they have plans for retired folks? or even for retired army folks being im retired from the guards after 22 years with them. back 3 years ago the t mo modems took a back seat to phone for using the towers but for me i seemed to always get between 70 and 200 mbps during the day and night with 4pm to about 7pm being the slowest speed times but still plenty fast as i get 50 mbps on comcast.

so what is the price now for internet with metro?
do they alow porting for cameras yet?
will they let our phones use wifi for calling in the home like the comcast modems do?
will they allow internet streaming boxes to connect to them?
and do they have unlimited data? being we use pc's and the roku box and phones.

thanks.

Help me to build small App

Hi guys,
I am new for Android Studio and have no experience in coding. I need to develop a small app & hope someone can help me.
I need to manage maintenance queries from my customers.
3 categories.
1. A/C complaint
2. Electrical
3. Plumbing.

In the home page above three options need to shows as Buttons.
Once click, they need to type a message, their name, contact number, email, date & time to visit.
Once above details filled and click send button, an email should go to the concerned email address accordingly as selected option at the home page.

1. A/C complaint => ac @gmail.com (email example only)
2. Electrical => electrical @gmail.com
3. Plumbing => plumbing @gmail.com

Can anyone please make this app from scratch and share with me the raw file so I can do the minor changes as required?

The device planning to use is Samsun TAB A 10.5

Appreciate your kind support.


Thanks

Wipe Cache Partition, Repair apps & Galaxy App Booster

A few procedures that I personally find helpful after installing an update are wiping the phone's temporary Cache Partition and using the Galaxy Apps Booster.

Wiping the Cache Partition is considered best practice after a major firmware update and can solve a lot of issues, such as lagging and apps foreclosing. This does not affect your data and is very simple and easy to perform.

Whilst in Recovery mode you can also select the option to, "Repair apps", in case you are experiencing app issues. (N.B. This feature appears to have been removed in the ONE UI 6.1 update)

This video will show you how to clear your phone's temporary Cache Partition of any corrupt files and detritus that may cause issues for you. It works on both the Z Fold4 and Flip4 devices...


I also use the Galaxy Apps Booster as well, which can be found in the, "Good Guardians", app in the App drawer of Android 12 and 13.
(If you do not have Good Guardians in the App drawer, it can be downloaded from the Samsung Store along with its component parts)

Simply run the Galaxy App Booster. If it is your first time using this app it can take awhile to finish. Subsequent runs are around 4 min's.

How Can I Prevent Outlook/Outlook Lite from Downloading Attachments?

I may be overlooking a simple setting but...

My company uses Outlook 365 for its mail client - On my iPhone, I am, easily, able to open an email, select an attachment and I can view it. End of story.

On my new Android 13 device, no matter what I try, Outlook/OL Lite automatically downloads the attachment to my device - There is no "preview" or view option. I notice that GMAIL

I look at dozens of attachments each day and don't want them all downloaded for me to trash later.

Any way to remedy this?

Help Files disappearing

So lately I've noticed my music files disappearing from my phone. I use an app called poweramp and you have a most recently added section for when I put new music on our phone. The most recent one to go missing is music that I created it just disappeared. The file doesn't exist anywhere on the phone.

Not only that I went to search for a song (not one of mine) that I always listen to and all of a sudden that song didn't exist on my phone. I know 100% now that at least 5 songs are missing two of them are my own.

I own an S22 Ultra with no ROM installed or anything like that. Not sure whats causing it or what to do.

Apps How to get constraints working in Java

I am trying to programmatically define objects in one of the activities, so I'm using the ConstraintSet class it Java to do it. However, when I run the application, all of the widgets that I gave constraints to with java go to 0,0 as if they don't have constraints. I've tried looking online but haven't found any fixes.

activity.java




Java:
[USER=1021285]@override[/USER]
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity);

        addCharacterGroupToSelection("Outsider",ConstraintSet.PARENT_ID);
        addCharacterGroupToSelection("Minion",R.id.activity_team_outsider);
    }

    protected void addCharacterGroupToSelection(String team, int previousGroupId) {
        int teamColor; int teamTitleId; int teamGroupId;

        switch (team) {
            case "Outsider":
                teamColor = getResources().getColor(R.color.good);
                break;
            case "Minion":
                teamColor = getResources().getColor(R.color.evil);
                break;
            default:
                throw new IllegalStateException("Unexpected value: " + team);
        }

        switch (team) {
            case "Outsider":
                teamGroupId = R.id.activity_team_outsider;
                teamTitleId = R.id.activity_team_outsider_title;
                break;
            case "Minion":
                teamGroupId = R.id.activity_team_minion;
                teamTitleId = R.id.activity_team_minion_title;
                break;
            default:
                throw new IllegalStateException("Unexpected value: " + team);
        }

        ConstraintLayout characterSelectContent = findViewById(R.id.activity_characterselect_content);
        ConstraintLayout teamGroup = new ConstraintLayout(this);

        teamGroup.setId(teamGroupId);

        characterSelectContent.addView(teamGroup);

        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) { teamTitle.setTextAppearance(R.style.body_black); }
        teamTitle.setTextColor(teamColor);

        teamGroup.addView(teamTitle);

        ConstraintSet constraintSet = new ConstraintSet();
        constraintSet.clone(characterSelectContent);

        constraintSet.constrainWidth(teamGroup.getId(),ConstraintLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);

        constraintSet.connect(teamGroup.getId(),ConstraintSet.TOP,previousGroupId,ConstraintSet.TOP,0);

        constraintSet.applyTo(characterSelectContent);
