Hello all, I want to protect my application with password. My imagination how it should work:
1. When a user launches the application for the first time from the Home screen, password is requested. 2. When the user launches the application for the 2nd (3rd and so on) time the Home screen, password is requested. 3. When the user exits application pressing Home button and then returns back to the application after choosing application from the applications list (after long press on the Home button), password is requested; 4. When foreground activity is interrupted by some other activity (onPause is called, but not onStop since activity is still visible), password is not requested. I found an approach which handles 1, 2 and 4 (I use custom Application class which has its own activity counter), but I don't have a clue how to implement #3. I need to detect a fact that the application goes to background (any activity is visible to the user, thus we can invalidate previous authentication). When on Stop is called, I don't know why it is called, but I need to distinguish cases when: - application is returned to the previous or next application activity due to the user input (some action in UI, or pressing Back button); - application goes to the background due to the another application or pressing Home button by the user. Any elegant way to handle this (I know can intercept all finish()/ startActivity()/startSubactivity() calls, set some flag and analyze it in the onStop(), but it looks too dumb, so I'm looking for better solution)?
