How To Disable Toast Messages Generated In Screen Pinning?

i'm developing lockscreen application, and i want to disable home button, my app is - Device Owner and Device Administrator now i'm usnig screen pinning for disable home button. bu

Solution 1:

Assuming you used the ADB to list your app as a Device Owner, you can use a similar command prompt to disable all toast messages:

adb shell appops set android TOAST_WINDOW deny

For this command to work, cd to the directory where your adb.exe resides (except if you added it to the PATH). This will disable all toast messages to the android device that is connected (virtual or not). If there are multiple devices, the first one found will be selected.

Solution 2:

There seems to be no override or "whitelist" or policy that allows even a device owner to override this message.

Here's the code that shows the toast: http://androidxref.com/6.0.1_r10/xref/frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/LockTaskNotify.java#74.

Here's the code that calls this show method when a locked task is shown: http://androidxref.com/6.0.1_r10/xref/frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/am/ActivityStackSupervisor.java#3919.

There are no flags or resources that can be overridden here as far as I have found. If you have access to source, you will need to comment out the line that invokes show.
