[android-developers] Re: ICS Recent apps thumbnails
Overriding onCreateThumbnail in your activity will allow you to supply a blank bitmap (or padlock etc) instead of a screenshot. Be sure to return true to tell the system you've overridden the bitmap.

[android-developers] Re: ICS Recent apps thumbnails
Hi, I'm not 100% sure are we talking about the same functionality as I've never seen Honeycomb nor ICS in action but there's the oldish Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_EXCLUDE_FROM_RECENTS flag and/or activity android:excludeFromRecents=true/false .../ AndroidManifest.xml parameter I never understood properly. Maybe it did the trick for you? -- H -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: ICS Recent apps thumbnails
Diane, no offense, but please do see beyond the theoretical world of Google. If you want Android to be taken seriously as a productivity platform, these concerns shouldn't be summarily dismissed. This is an absolutely valid concern for my app. I have password protection on my app so uses can control access to their financial data, without necessarily locking their phones completely. The thumbnail feature defeats the password protection. There needs to be a way of providing an alternate bitmap or a way to force to show the launcher icon.

The recents can't be brought up when the device is locked. Applications can't access the thumbnails.

Sensitive information is being leaked from my app by this feature as the contents of the screen are readable from outside the app. I even tried blanking the screen in the OnPause override but it made no difference. The thumbnail must be generated before that method is called. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
