Sensors Off - Disable All Sensors of your android phone

-

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.

Iterating a HashMap

-
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 ...
