Is the content in SharedPreferences secured on the Android device?
I am creating an application which connects to the server using username/password and I would like to enable the option "Save password" so the user wouldn't have to type the password each time the application starts. I was trying to do it with Shared Preferences but am not sure if this is the best solution. I would appreciate any suggestion on how to store user values/settings in Android application.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am developing an Android frontend to a web application using its API. This Android application will expose some extra features if the user is a 'pro'. Therefore I need the Android app to acquire the information whether an account is pro. That is done while getting the token. In other words, when the Android application requests a token to the web application via the API, the web application provides also a flag representing whether the user is a pro.
When the Android app gets that piece of information, it stores it in the SharedPreferences, like this: this.sharedPreferencesEditor.putBoolean(Account.PRO_ACCOUNT, isPro).commit();
Then the Android app reads that value to decide whether a certain feature is available to that user. Now, my question is: is that approach easily hackable? I mean, can some clever user work-around this system and get pro-features even if they are not pro-users? How could do that?
I'm writing an application wherein users will sometimes make orders through it. I want to give users the option to save their billing info (name, address, etc.) so that it can be quickly restored later if they want to make another order. The user will enter a password to secure the data. Obviously I can't just put this as a file on the device, as anyone can root/find the data. Is there a built-in Android method for storing secure data that is locked with a password? If not, what is a good place to start for storing this data securely using Java?

I would like for the user to be unable to copy these files off the phone but only listen to them through my app. I am currently trying to encrypt the files using DES and encryption and decrypt and play the file in bits in the app. This is however not working. Is there a better way of achieving my end goal or has anyone else implemented a similar solution?

What is the recommended way to build user interfaces on the device based on layouts provided by a server at runtime? I am aware of this: <snip source="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ LayoutInflater.html"> For performance reasons, view inflation relies heavily on pre- processing of XML files that is done at build time. Therefore, it is not currently possible to use LayoutInflater with an XmlPullParser over a plain XML file at runtime; it only works with an XmlPullParser returned from a compiled resource (R.something file.) </snip>
I could imagine these possibilities: - Parse XML by myself and build the ui tree. (Seems inappropriate to me since there is already maintained code which is able to do this.)
- Transform XML on server to a simpler format which is cheaper to parse on the device. (Inappropriate as above.)
- Preprocess the XML layout on the server the same way the build does. Transmit it to the client, and then try to load it. But how? android.content.res.XMLBlock is hidden (@hide) and I don't know how to classify the stuff in package com.android.layoutlib.bridge.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm currently writing an Android app that should be able to communicate in real time with another app hosted in Google's app engine. Since I can't use sockets in GAE, I though maybe using XMPP over GTalk server would solve my problem. But that way the Android app would be connected to the users account and thus showing the user as being online, when in reality the user is not. Any way of achieving this kind of communication without showing the user as being online?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've written an app that syncs social network photos with your phone's contact photos. It works great. However, I have an option that lets the user skip any contacts that already have a photo added. This works great until the phone (I assume) syncs up the photo from the social network with Google Contacts.
I use a hash of the pic to track if the picture is one from my sync app or one that the user has added themselves. So, if Google Contacts changes the format of the pic, then the hash will change and my method is no good!
I want to calculate the hash value of the all the folders in a particular directory. I am able to do it in a java application.
Any idea how to do it in Android?

1, change the url hash without the webview reloading the page (it would lose the state of my js app)
2, call some js that sits within my web page from within android. I can't change any JS within the site, unfortunately, so can't custom write any js to put on the site especially for the job, the only stuff I have control over is the Android app.
Can anyone think of a way of doing either of these?

I'm developing a little program which syncs some of the users data from my app on the cloud (just a load of strings, but that's not the point).
To help identify each device uniquely I would like to use the IMEI (or ESN number for CDMA devices) ...so here is the question, does anyone know how to access this programmatically?
I've developed an application which has a service and boot completed receiver. The boot completed receiver schedules the service to be executed after every 7 minutes. The boot completed receiver saves its context in a public static variable which is then accessed by service whenever it is scheduled by scheduler. The service first gets the IMEI number of phone and then saves it to a file if it is not already saved. Everything worked smoothly but then i logged into market place and after that the scheduled service was not able to get IMEI number directly , neither was it able to open the file which had already been created and it keeps on throwing nullpointer exception for both direct IMEI retrieval and attempt to open file.................
