I'm getting many complaints that users can't find our paid app in the Android Market. I know exactly why. Our app is "Copy-Protected". So the questions is, if our paid app is already available all over the internet for FREE!! What's the point of copy protecting an app? Should I even care at this point about that feature? It seems I'm gonna get more sales if I disable copy protection, but makes me wonder.

I want to set a password on my phone to protect the gps so you have to enter a password to either turn the gps on or off.
I've integrated lots of private information like accounting, messaging, emails, tasks and so on, into desktop widgets and everywhere around the phone. Every so often, someone wants to take a look at the phone and play around. Reading some important stuff is one thing, but people tend to mess the stuff around as well. Have you found a program or a way to protect from that? (other than denying to the people :> ) I guess some kind of shell program that you turn over when someone wants to demo the phone would be a nice solution.

Someone bought the priced app from market with the "rooted" phone and copy the apk file, then post on the websites for others to download.
Should Android team give a better way to protect the priced apps?
For example, encrypt the apk with the unique device hardware id for each download request. And verify the key before execution. So the apk can only be used on this phone.
There should be much better and complicated ways. but this is the basic idea.

My employer has told me to create an android app to do the following:
The ability to password protect specific submenus in the Settings menu (i.e. specifically Privacy, Applications, and Location & Security).
Is this possible without rooting?
My parents are going on a trip in a month and they have there heart set on taking a smartphone with them.What they need is being able to call, text and mail.They also want to be able to use it as a backup (just in case) for finding their way. So just in case they get lost to find out where they are on their map or use the gps to guide them for a little while.
So basically, calling, sms, mail and gps. They don't need to be able to change a lot of settings.So, I was thinking about installing their (yet to buy) smart phone with a simple home screen and the settings they would need. To keep them from accidentally messing anything up, I was wondering if it is possible to password protect settings and stuff.
-how to protect settings etc.
-a good home screen
-other things like very simple gps app for example
I have an app out that involves keeping track of information over time. Part of the app is a reset button. In order to avoid accidental resets, I made that button respond only to long-clicks.However, that approach confused about 20% of my new users, who thought that the reset button must not be working.Is there a more intuitive (and standard) way to protect a button from accidental presses? (If not, I can add some sort of custom message to the button I have )
View 2 Replies View RelatedI m designing a big android application, where there are XMLs to store temporary data, images captured by camera and other details. Which is the best way to protect them from outer access from phone or from PC. XMLs can be encrypted. And images too, however there are times when they need to be accessed very often and encrypting-decrypting is very heavy operation. XML encryption is manageable but images cause memory problems. Is there any alternative way, something at folder level ?

I have an Android application from which I want to upload some data to a database on my web server. As the MySql java library has a size of about 5 mb, I don't want to include it with the application.So I'll make a HTTP request for a php script and send the data with the URL as parameters. How do I make sure that only I can call this? I don't want people to sniff up the URL and call it outside my application.

Looking for that added security to protect your Android phone investment? This is the app you have been looking for and a must have for Android phone users. Mobile Defense hides itself once you install the app and activate it via SMS confirmation. There are no screenshots of the actual application except for the install screen above. Below is a screenshot of the tracking dashboard which uses Google Maps. I tried it and it tracked my phone right down to my exact address. Imagine having your phone stolen and showing up at the thief door? I would rather notify the local authorities and let them do the recovery work.
If your phone gets stolen all you have to do is log into the Mobile Defense website. The GPS on your phone lets you track its location. You can also send a message and loud audible tone(like a loud car alarm) to the phone. It works even if the ringer volume is off. The same process also works if you lose your phone. I know several friends that could use something like this. The beauty of Android is there an app out there for almost anything and more added every day.
This is a must have for all you new Android Phone users and those who haven not found this free jewel. Do you have Mobile Defense installed? Have you used it to find or retrieve your Android phone? If so please feel free to comment below. You can download this app direct to your android phone. Just scan the QR code below with Barcode Scanner application from Android Market:

I had an idea of buying an cheap screen protector to cut out a circle for the camera on the evo 4g. Anyone else have an idea on how to protect the evo's camera. And will this mess up picture or video quality.
