Re: [android-developers] Detect activity was started by the Android launcher

What I'm trying to solve is the piracy issue. i.e. someone just wrapping my app and launching it. i want to disable that. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Second, wrapping is sometimes done intentionally (e.g., by Amazon for their AppStore DRM, IIRC). Third, the way to check for wrappers is to confirm that your app's package name is what you expect and that your app's signing key matches what you expect. See http://stackoverflow.com/a/6203440/115145 for the latter. Again, all of these checks can be deactivated if somebody puts their mind to them. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 4.6 Available! -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
