General :: Android Firewall With Specific Rules And Filtering?
Jun 10, 2012
I am looking for a firewall that allows setting rules for individual apps, for example allow an application to connect to [URL] and nothing else. The firewalls I've tested so far (like avast! Mobile Security) only allow the selected application to connect or not, but not filtering by url, domain, ip or such.
The only firewall I've heard of is WhisperMonitor, and is not public yet. Furthermore, it is supposed to require device encryption.

I am interested in setting up a basic firewall using Droidwall scripts just a simple block inbound and allow outbound rules but I am not sure as how I would set this up instead of using the white/black list feature.

I have the needs to have all instant messaging apps disabled at work. But I need data for other stuff on the android phone.
I have tried a few android firewall apps and while they all work flawlessly, there is one problem: NONE of them can stop the (Facebook) Messenger app from receiving messages.

I have had androids for over two years now and am getting more and more concerned every time I download an app and seeing that it wants to READ my SMS message and Contacts.
Is there a way I can disable reading of SMS messages or any one of the other permissions by specific apps, or all apps?
Are we living in a world where any "joe schmo" can upload an app the to the app store and wait for those inadvertent downloads and collect all your personal information, and that's after all the time we spend protecting our identity and personal details?

i'm running into some issues inflating layouts and i wonder whether i have something basic wrong.i have a ListView with a custom adapter etc, and of course the item View is custom too. i've been creating the item View in code, and everything works fine, including recycling them and all that. great.but i want to move the View into a resource, where all good Android views live, and weirdness is happening.in the ListView's getView(), i get my inflater and inflate the view by ID. the view itself has its own XML file. i can inflate the top view, but i can't find anything by ID, and when asked for its children, nothing comes back.are there funky rules for inflating views this way? is there a convention for how this should be done inside a ListView?

I am aware that this challenge is only open to Apps or developers who have not published their apps on the Android Market before 1st August.
a)What is stopping a developer from just changing the name of his/her app or renaming the app package? Surely others will try this?
b) Are there any developers here that created apps in anticipation for the ADC2 to only find that by publishing on the Android Market, you will lose out on the eligibility clause?

I have registered with swype beta, however it is saying that my login credentials are incorrect, obviously not allowing me to login.Since Swype is a free app, and now back on the market, would it be against the forum rules for someone to post an apk to dl it?I figure ill wait till someone chimes in before asking someone to actually post an apk of they have one.

This morning an email noticed me that the android market rules are changed and that I must accept it within 30 days. Now the prolblem is.I have always distribuited (only on android market due to the lack of dynamic licensing) a free trial, customers who want to buy the product must buy it on our official site.Now rules are changed, we cannot distribuite freel trial on the market and ask to the customers to buy the software on other place. What do you think about that? I don't want to give to the market a non secure version of my software, without dynamic licensing, no need to argue, I can't give the unprotected binary.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to start in case one wants to write a firewall for Android? I am interested especially in how would one go about in blocking access for various applications that are blacklisted from a firewall application. As far as I could find, there are no firewall applications in the real sense except Droidwall which uses iptables on rooted phones, but I would like to see if there are any API calls currently in Android that may help with this task, be it NDK or SDK.

I want to use my phone as a wifi hotspot, but I would like my phone to allow access to only some ip adresses (my mail server actually).
This way if my PC try to go to another site (say "windows update" site) the phone will not forward its http request, thus limiting data consumption.
Is there an app on the market that does it ?

Location based rules dont work. I have GPS checked, and starred but it wont find me. I open up google maps and cell tower triangulation completely sucks. 10 miles off. Now the real question is; Is the dev working on this problem? Should I buy it and hope it gets fixed? The app has alot of potential, but it needs its location fixed bad.

I have the same issue in the casual category.I'm assuming it has to do with the percentage of current installs.Since I'm sitting at 23% of total downloaded.But its growing at least.I was down to 15 about a month ago.

I go back and forth about how to name activity classes.Activity seems to imply a verb, like EditContact, for example.But that seems more like what one would call the Intent that triggers EditContact.Should the activity be named ContactEditor instead?

I just downloaded the android 4.4 kitkat to my phone and I am having a problem with the hotspot.
On the 4.3 I have used my hotspot to play online games without any problem, but with the 4.4 it says that I have a firewall blocking it.
What should I do??? (By the way I took my sim card and put on my old phone that has android 4.3 and it worked normally, so its not a problem with my internet or service).

I am looking for an app or a process to see what is using the data connection to send and pull random crap and be able to block things at the App level. I know I can just turn off Data altogether but I would like to still use the apps I WANT without needing to go and manually turn Data back on. Any ideas?

easy way to use GCM (push message on Android for Gmail, Hangouts, etc.) behind a firewall?
The problem is not that companies want to block GCM, they are just unaware of the fact that their firewall is blocking it by default. GCM uses ports 5228, 5229 & 5230 which are almost always blocked on corporate networks. This means push messages don't come through. It also seriously screws with Hangouts (when I open the app random messages come though while others don't; this results in only being able to see parts of conversations).
Response from Google is to request the ports to be opened. This is not an option as I work as a consultant and move between clients. I can't get them all to open up the ports.
Google is seriously hampering the use of Android and Google services for professional use by using non-standard ports. I don't understand why they are not openly pushing for the ports to be opened by default or use standard ports (could also just be as a fallback if the preferred ports are blocked).I can't use Hangouts professionally now (which I would prefer over Skype).

I just got my first Android phone, a Droid 2.I previously had the original BlackBerry Storm which when I first got it I loved but after a very short time I came to hate for it's crappy interfaces terrible performance and so on. But one thing that it did very well was work with my corporate exchange email.I use rules to move new email from the inbox to folders that really help me to keep my email organized, which is very important since I get 200-300 emails on a normal day and many more when there are emergencies at work. As each was moved to the appropriate folder I would get my notification on my BB and could go read the mail. However now that I am using Froyo, I find that it can see all of my emails and shows the correct folders and so forth but I only get notifications for email that is in the inbox. This does not work well especially when I have a customer emailing me with an emergency.
Is there a way to setup my rules so that they wait for 6 hours (or whatever time I select) before they are moved to one of the other folders so that I can still get my notifications on my Droid 2 but still keep the mailbox relatively organized?I hate the idea of running the rule manually because Outlook requires you to select each one individually and since I have about 50 rules this is a hassle, another option would be to make the rules Client Side only but I cannot seem to find a way to do this either so if anybody can give me instructions on this that would be great.Of course if you have a way that you use for this that works better please let me know as I am open to suggestions, these are just the options that I have come up on my own.

I am looking for an all-in-one SMS app that can filter incoming messages based on words and phrases in the message. The reason being that I have monitoring systems at work that send SMS alerts and sometimes the alerts are just FYI, not OMG's
So anyways, right now I have a Hero, so I use Handcent for the replacement of the stock app until it is fixed and SMS Firewall to filter incoming messages and do the alerting. Being a 2 part solution it works very well, but I was curious if anyone has tried anything that has it all in one.
I have tried a few of the apps out there and none seem to work right.
Here's what I tried without success
aFirewall (didn't seem to filter properly)
SMS manager (can't remember what was wrong)
SMS Guard (kept getting a force close when a message came in)
PandaFirewall (didn't filter anything properly when I tested)
GSMS (force close when trying to view inbox)
I was going to try UltimateSMS, but it appears to have been removed from the Market.

I am trying to write a clean bit of code that can list the people in a 1.5/1.6 Contacts data store, and I do not see how I filter out the cruft that Google throws in (ad hoc "contacts" literally addressed by other apps and stored, for some reason, in the contact list without a clear means of discerning them from the real people the user cared to enter - the ones that would appear in the contacts app). I see that in 2.0 or so, "IN_VISIBLE_GROUP" is added as a field which seems to differentiate these versions, but what existed to accomplish this before that time? Here is my code which works in 2.x and fails to keep the chaff out in 1.x, as the selection parameter is unsupported:
final String[] proj = new String[] { Contacts.People._ID, Contacts.People.NAME };
final String selection = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 5 ? null : ContactsContract.Contacts.IN_VISIBLE_GROUP + "=1";
Cursor people = context.getContentResolver().query( Contacts.People.CONTENT_URI, proj, selection, null, Contacts.People.DEFAULT_SORT_ORDER);
if (people != null) { final int personIdColumn = people .getColumnIndexOrThrow(Contacts.People._ID);
final int nameColumn = people .getColumnIndexOrThrow(Contacts.People.NAME);
while (people.moveToNext()) { if (Thread.interrupted()) { people.close();
outputList.clear(); throw new InterruptedException();
} long personId = people.getLong(personIdColumn);
String name = people.getString(nameColumn);
if (name != null) { outputList.add(new Contact(personId, name));
} } // clean up cursor people.close();
}
