Help My phone isn't locked out, but I want to disable my fingerprint lock but I forgot the password.

I hadn't been using any lock screen security before, I had to create a fingerprint lock for work temporarily and never bothered to remember the backup password. Now that I don't need the fingerprint lock anymore, even though the phone recognizes me as the proper owner and lets me in, I need that backup password to disable the fingerprint lock entirely. Any ideas? Thanks

Get GPS location from database

Hi everyone,

I need some help and I hope I am in the right place.
I have a few cars for rent and I have wifi on each of them. What I want to do is to connect to a database where they send them location and get them location and eventually an ID of the car or something like that, on my android phone application.
Can you give me please some tips or provide me some useful links about how can I do this ?

Thank you very much!

WebView how to show app title

I have a simple web view app which appears to work, but I would like to show the app title bar and I can't figure out how to do do so.

This is my Java

Java:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    private WebView webView;

    Activity activity;
    private ProgressDialog progDailog;

    //@SuppressLint("NewApi")
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        activity = this;

        progDailog = ProgressDialog.show(activity, "Loading", "Please wait...", true);
        progDailog.setCancelable(false);

        webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.simpleWebView);

        webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
        webView.getSettings().setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);
        webView.getSettings().setUseWideViewPort(true);
        webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {

            @Override
            public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
                progDailog.show();
                view.loadUrl(url);
                return true;
            }

            @Override
            public void onPageFinished(WebView view, final String url) {
                progDailog.dismiss();
            }
        });

        webView.loadUrl("https://theglastonburytarot.co.uk/");

    }
}

and this is my layout:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <WebView
        android:id="@+id/simpleWebView"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent" />

</LinearLayout>

This isn't normal disk usage right?

So I've observed that my laptop's disk usage shows up to be pretty high. But this doesn't make sense - I've seen programs use the disk at more than 100 MB/s, but sometimes it shows a much higher % value (48% in the screenshot below) even when programs are running at only about 1 MB/s in total!

I normally wouldn't be concerned about this, but the problem is that the disk usage occasionally jumps to 100% or 99% with only 0.2 MB/s of total usage, making the system unnecessarily slow for a while.

Is this normal? Are there other factors than read/write speed that account for disk usage? Has this happened to anyone else? Are there any fixes I can try? Thanks!

at first boot the phone will say xposed app has stopped ignore this
because once you get to the home screen
tick the xposed app
tick the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner
hit soft reboot
once it boots back up xposed will now be active
to get gravity box to work
go to tick the 3 lines next to the xposed framework heading

you have to tick the settings icon in the upper right hand corner and then tick the back arrow
next to the word settings and all of the aninmations will show up
i don't know why we have to do that but oh well.

i also went ahead and intergrated the gravitybox app that only works with xposed
into our settings.apk

to do this
1. goto gravity box
