Hi, (I'm new to posting questions on Google Groups. Suggestions on good posting behaviour are appreciated. :) )
I would like to achieve the following: I would like to temporarily disable the Android device when the user performs 3 wrong logins in a row. The login is another issue I'm not interested in here. I'm interested in blocking the phone. I've been searching for some time now. I found some messages on disabling buttons, but they seem to be bad usability. On top of that, it might not be supported anymore in future APIs. So I kept looking and found: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#BRICK. This seems to suggest something in the API that I can use, but can't find it. I'm interested in how to use this permission, and I'm also interested in what the consequences are. Does using some bricking method imply that the phone is permanently bricked, or is there still a way to restore the phone, so you don't have to throw it away? I hope somebody would be able to enlighten me by providing some answers or pointers on where to look. Thanks in advance, a2ronus -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
