How do you determine (programatically) if an Android device is: rooted Running a cracked copy of your software or rom. I have some sensitive information in my database, and I would like to encrypt it when the phone is rooted aka the user has access to the database. How do I detect that?

How can I tell if a device is using HTC's SenseUI? I thought about using android.os.Build information, but they seem inconsistent. Is there a more definitive way? I need to be able to tell if I can launch the calendar by using com.android.calendar or com.htc.calendar.

.apk file
.zip file (wich contains a large of data that .apk must unizp and do some work with it).
I want to plug an Android device and programmatically copy these both files to Android.
The application must be visible to user and the .zip file must be "visible" to the application, wich will unzip it and do some work with it.

My app seldom needs to put the device (or screen) to sleep. That is - programmatically imitate user pressing on red stop-call button. According to docs PowerManager.goToSleep() does just that, but requires android.permission.DEVICE_POWER, which is never granted to apps!
(A) What on earth should I do to get this working?
(B) How can I programmatically wake up the device.
just to clarify - I'm not interested in a wake lock solution.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy app has a certain piece of functionality that will only work on a device where root is available. Rather than having this feature fail when it is used (and then show an appropriate error message to the user), I'd prefer an ability to silently check if root is available first, and if not,hide the respective options in the first place.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have several android tablets, all but one (at this moment) are rooted. I am not interested in putting a custom rom on them at the moment (mainly because not all functions -like camera- are working on all devices) but I would like the ability to do a Nandroid backup that seems to be only available with custom roms. On one device I can't unlock the bootloader (Azpen A701), don't know about the unrooted one at this time (brand new Hisense Sero 7 pro).
Is there a way to add CWM to a rooted stock android (only root applied and associated superuser/busybox apps installed)? What are the requirements (unlocked bootloader?)? Where to get said CWM and how to install it?
My question is- with the telephony manager, is there a way to determine what number the phone is off hook with? I thought getLine1Number() might return that phone number that is being dialed, but it is not what I expect. I am working with 2 emulators, and added a log line so that I could see what that method is doing. When dialing another emulator, I expected getLine1Number() to return 5554, but it was 15555218135. Perhaps there is another method I should be using instead? Do I need to be into the source code to get the information I want?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if there is a way to determine who passed an intent to my application. For example, I have a service, that I want to act differently depending on who passed the intent (for security reasons). I'm trying to sandbox each calling application, so they only have access to their data stored in my application.
For it to be secure, I cannot trust any application to be truthful about the identifying data it is passing into my service. Therefore, I need some system way of identifying who sent the intent in a way that the calling application cannot change that information. I don't know if it is possible, but I can't find anything in the Intent class, and I was wondering if there may be another structure which does what I want it to. If it is not possible, I would like to get some type of mechanism to do this in the roadmap.
I'm using a UNIX socket to facilitate communication on and Android device between a system level daemon I've got running in C and an application I've got running in Java. I'm much more of a C coder than a Java coder, so I'm having some issues when trying to read in data from the socket on the Java side. Currently, my code is as follows:
try{//Prepare to write the command and read the ACK
InputStream is = receiver.getInputStream();
OutputStream os = receiver.getOutputStream();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));..............................
I looked over SensorManager and was still unsure, how do I detect if the phone is looking at true north (or any other direction for that matter).

View 1 Replies View RelatedQuestion: How do you programmatically distinguish between directories and regular files in the assets folder?
When using AssetManager to access files in the assets folder, it seems impossible to determine if a file is in fact a file or a directory. You get the list of files from the list method and then open the file using the open method. I thought perhaps using the openFd method to get the asset file descriptor (and then subsequently requesting the normal file descriptor) would provide me some information. But requesting the file descriptor for a directory results in an IOException (which makes sense since what would it mean for a directory to have a file descriptor...?).
Currently I'm relying on that IOException (resulting from attemptng to open a directory in the assets folder) in order to determine if a file is in fact a directory. (Opening a regular file works just fine). This seems like a bad idea. Any other suggestions to distinguish between a file and a directory?
I am calling the ZXing scanner from Screen-A using intents. Once the scan is done control of course returns to the code behind Screen-A and I do some other work before calling Screen-B.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working on an Android App where the user has different options for sorting the displayed data that comes from the database. Currently my orderBy string that I pass to Androids query() method looks like this:
"LOWER("+columnName+") ASC"
The problem with this is that if the data type in the column specified by columnName is integer, calling LOWER() on it will cause it to be sorted alphabetically, i.e. based only on the leftmost digit, which of course doesn't make any sense for numeric data. Hence I only want to apply LOWER() if the data type of the column is not integer. What I have in mind is a statement like this:
"CASE WHEN [data type of columnName is integer] THEN "+columnName+" ASC ELSE LOWER("+columName+") ASC END"
The part in the brackets is what I don't know how to do. Does SQLite provide a function to determine a column's data type?
