Android :: How To Prevent Application Thievery?
Apr 27, 2010
I was wondering what the most effective way of preventing people from stealing my application (downloading a copy of the .apk online rather than buying it).I've spent a lot of time on one in particular (Droidbox) and won't be releasing Sync until I can guarantee that the people who are providing illegal copies of the pro version aren't able to.Anyone implemented this? I've tried checking my package signature verses an the signature of an unsigned copy but it appears to be the same - perhaps I'm doing something incorrectly here. I'm unsure whether people actually distribute the signed .apk in which case I don't think signature validation would work to begin with.Please note, this question is specific to Android Marketplace Applications - the difference being, application delivery is out of my hands and I have no way of linking between a legitimate purchase and an illegal download.

I have created a multithreaded application but it still hangs if the server is unavailable.causes some delay and I believe this is the cause for hanging. But if the TCPClientService Service is executing in its own thread I don't know why this affects the timeout of the main activity.I would be very thankful if anyone could show how to prevent the application from hanging when the server is unavailable.

My application has an emergency button which dials 911 when clicked on. Every thing on the app is working fine. But I just discovered that whenever I try to add another call when I am in a call, it promps me to complete the action using. 1. my app 2. The normal phone And when I click on my app, it just opens my app. I do not understand what is causing this and do not want my app to be shown in that list.

i have a android application which is ready to release .so to release i have put the app in android market .the user can buy the app and can install the app into the phone.android market wont provide any apk file to the user .so normally we need not bother about re distribution of of the app to the unauthorized persons(who didn't buy the app). But what my problem is ,I heard that there is a jail breaking concept which can allow the hacker to get the apk file(installation file) from the device .(even though android market not giving the apk file to the user ).then he can distribute the apk file to all(to unauthorized persons ).how to avoid it.is there any thing to restrict the unauthorized person in using our app,even though he get the apk file . does android market provides the details of the users who has buy the app by paying?

A Galaxy user emailed us to report that one of our apps crashes when he performs a function, we had over 10k downloads of this app with no similar report. Since the Galaxy is not yet available in the US, is there a simulator to help resolve issues like this?

I'm using Google Code to host my application code, its convenient and the SVN repository means I don't have to worry about backups. When you create a project on there you need to select a license, I chose GNU GPL v3. By doing so, does that prevent me from selling my application on the Android market place?

I have an application with main view having a search button. On clicking the search button, search results are displayed in a text view. When I hit the back button at this view, instead of navigating to the previous screen, application itself gets closed. Could anybody please let me know how to go back to previous screen.

Is there a particular flag that we can use to prevent apps showing up in marketplace which require the phone to have a camera flash /LED? Typical apps are ones which make the phone act like a torchlight in dark. I have seen a tag which prevents apps requiring auto focus in a camera from appearing in the marketplace. Just looking to find out if there is something similar for camera flash.

I really don't know why it's giving me this error... I load an ImageView with an image of 692kb .jpg, using scroll options, so you can scroll it around... the strange it's that when the mobile it's connected to the VM it's less possible to happen. So...how can I prevent this? is there anyway that I can free memory when starting the app? can I tell the system to free memory before loading the image?

Is there an app (or better, a way within Android) to prevent the same contact from showing the the call log more than once? I talk mainly to the same few people, with a few others scattered between, and it would be nice if I had the option to see each contact only once in the call log. (Maybe have the call times viewable if I open the contact's entry in the call log.)

How can we prevent an edittext from getting focus and displaying the soft keyboard. I have an searchbox which should not be focused by default and should have focus only when user clicks on it to enter something. But right now it takes focus and shows the keyoard as soon as I open the activity. Is this a bug or can this be changed to behave in the way we want?

I have a static library that contains some JNICALL functions, i.e. they are expected to be called from the JVM and are never referenced by the shared library that links the static library. However, it seems like function stripping is exterminating the JNICALL function (it's not visible in arm-eabi-objdump -t). I'm working around it by adding a dummy function with an impossible condition that calls the JNICALL function, but that's dirty. I know that there is a link option to prevent certain modules from getting their unused data stripped, but what is it? And how do I specify that option in the .mk file? I didn't see anything immediately obvious in arm-eabi-ld. Incidentally, the function stripping doesn't strip out JNICALL functions in the shared library itself, but it will remove those from the static library that the shared library is linking. What's the reason for that?

I have an Activity which is launched from a Service. This Activity can spawn other children Activities. Now under certain conditions (particularly related to using screen lock), I can end up with the Service starting a second copy of the Activity again. For reasons of performance, the Service is being started and stopped at various times, and cannot be relied on to hold state. What is the best way to prevent this second launch? Can I (for example) detect that the Activity is already running in the stack and do finish()?

I am currently porting a 3D app on Android. This app consists of a 3D view (embedded in a GLSurfaceView) and of menu screens (for settings, search , etc.).
My main activity is the one containing the GLSurfaceView. It's always the root of it's task. The problem is that my GLSurface gets destroyed whenever I launch another activity and all the GL objects (VBOs, textures) that I created in the GL context get deleted/invalidated along. So whenever my users go in the menu, the 3D scene has to be fully reloaded. Wouldn't there be a way to prevent the surface's destruction ?
