Fielding questions from our IT dept around security and I didn't know this one off hand. Can anyone provide insight as to how credentials are stored in Android OS? (hashed, encrypted etc.
I got the solution of get back to the first activity by pressing previous button without changing data of first activity. Now, the user will enter his credentials. When he click to proceed further, the credential details will directly go to the server and server gives response with the cookie and that cookies should be store in my phone for the usage for the future. It means that when the user again run the application he should directly logged in into the application, e.g., www.mail.yahoo.com.

Are they encrypted or in other way secured in case of i.e. theft, or do I need third-party applications to secure my phone?For example, if my telephone gets stolen, would it be possible to easily get access to stored browser passwords, my google password, app passwords (e.g. login to cloud services).Are these in some way encrypted and tied to PIN, unlock code or other are they completely "in the open"?

Is it possible in Android to programmatically send an email using the phone's associated GMail credentials? I can send an email when I explicitly provide the username and password, but I was hoping to leverage the Google account already associated with the phone. Note that I don't need to actually access the username or password; I just want to leverage this information indirectly to send email.

I would like to clear them all out, but doing them one by one would be extremly tedious and time consuming. I see their is an option to remove all certificates, however it is disabled/grayed out.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to write a simple test framework. This is what I want to do: My actual test is an apk file on android device, and I write a TestCase or some instrumentation for that which runs on host side. I trigger the test using adb commands or some IDE.I am able to refer to some examples which does above.Now what I want to know is any way of getting results back using any api available in TestCase or such class.This result can be any string value or an object too.
1. can I use TestResult for this purpose ? I expect it ot be similar to function calland return value from function.i.e. on completion of test I should get back the result in a structured way probably defined by me.Is this possible at all.
2. or return value is always going to be put to stdout? or logcat?
3.how do I parse and collect stdout or logcat prints into a file?
any input would be of great help.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have some knowledge about Human computer interaction and some basic knowledge programming scripts (Python) that run from start to finish and automate some tasks I want to do or calculations. In the past I built interfaces in HTML with PHP behind it. I would like my python scripts to evolve from the command line and build some applications with GUIs that would allow the user to drag files and push buttons to initiate operations and check progress graphically. Since I write my scripts in Python I looked at some of the options (Tkinter, wxPython, PyQt) but I can't make a decision between them to invest my time learn one and not the other. My criteria: Has a introduction for programmers for GUI (what are the differences from a script, examples of some simple interfaces). A framework that would allow me to run my programs on the platforms I use most (Windows) but that can also run on Mac and maybe Linux, without too much modification. If not the same, similar to how you program GUI for Android and/or Nokia smartphones. I'm planning to write some programs for these platforms in the near future so I would like to carry over some of the lessons here onto those platforms, if possible. I did find this previous question but none of the answers are satisfactory. Does any of the frameworks fit these requirements better than the others or are they essentially similar and I would be happy with any of them?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a question regarding services. In Android I am able to use all the methods defined in the service by calling bindService(). In bindService() we have to pass the ServiceConnection object and could able to get the reference of Service Interface through which we can invoke service methods. But Android framework services (System services) are started in a different manner by just calling the getSystemService(). How can I register my service with Android framework.
