To protect our privacy, some of us put our phone in Flight mode, so that most of the sensors will be put off & our device is a little bit safe. But, In this case, devices can still access some sensors to enable specific functionality, such as screen rotation and taking pictures.  To disable all sensors defined in 'SensorManager' class, you'll have to enable 'Sensor Off' option in your phone. When a user enables Sensors off in developer options (Settings > System > Developer options > Quick settings developer tiles), a new tile appears in the quick settings tray. They can use the tile to prevent apps from accessing the camera, microphone, and all sensors managed by the SensorManager class. **Below is the pictorial representation from a Samsung phone. Note: Calling will not be affected, as it is not using AudioPolicyService, but directly using the microphone. Refer these links for more information:  Sensors-Off Hardware/Sensor

Hey Friends,      Many times there are chances that you want less cable over your desk or may be length of your data cable is shorter than expected. In this case, many developers have to struggle in compiling & testing Android Apps. I am showing you a simple way to connect your Android Testing Device once to your system & then you can run/debug your code wirelessly. Steps to follow: 1. You need to connect your device to your computer via USB cable. Make sure USB debugging is working. You can check if it shows up when running adb devices . 2. Run adb tcpip 5555 Here 5555 is port number that you want to use for connection. 3. Disconnect your device (remove the USB cable). 4. Go to the Settings -> About phone -> Status to view the IP address of your phone. I generally use IPv4 for connection. 5. Run adb connect <IP address of your device>:5555 6. If you run adb devices again, you should see your device. Now you can use device...

As Android 10 has introduced, the dialog UI as well as handling the location permission has updated. Now, the user has right to allow/disallow that the app can fetch location while it is in background. To accomplish this, a new permission has to be declared in the manifest file: android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION Calling this would pop up a dialog with basically three options: Always Allow Allow only while using the app Deny Along with these options, there are some other scenarios i.e. On selecting Deny will give a new option Deny & Do not ask again Or, if user selects ' Allow only while using the app ', the next time the app is launched, it will only ask the user to allow the Location Permission or deny . User can choose this option to optimize the battery consumption as some of the apps use location updates even when the app is in background or service might be running even if the appis killed. Lets take a simple example of a share cab ap...

We know that, Java HashMap class implements the map interface by using a hashtable. It inherits AbstractMap class and implements Map interface. The important points about Java HashMap class are: A HashMap contains values based on the key. It contains only unique elements. It may have one null key and multiple null values. It maintains no order. Many times we have to iterate hash map for key or value or both key&value. Here is code block to iterate for the same... If you're only interested in the keys, you can iterate through the keySet() of the map:   Map < String , Object > map = ...; for ( String key : map . keySet ()) { // ... } If you only need the values, use values() : for ( Object value : map . values ()) { // ... } Finally, if you want both the key and value, use entrySet() : for ( Map . Entry < String , Object > entry : map . entrySet ()) { String key = entry . getKey (); Object value ...

Hi Friends, As a new user on Ubuntu Machine, many users might have faced the same problem of opening a new window when we add a new usb device, whether it be a usb-stick, portable hdd or mobile phones. This might seem very irritating if you are a developer. For a normal user, its just helping then to directly work on the recently connect usb device but while developing there are times when we connect/reconnect our testing device very frequently. To turn it OFF/ON we have to just write a simple command on Ubuntu terminal. To turn it OFF gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount-open false TO turn it ON gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount-open true To know more about gsetting: $man gsettings To get help about any gsettings commands $gsetting help <COMMAND> ex. $gsetting help Monitor Have Fun!!!
