How to disable the Recent Tasks/Apps button
This will close the RecentActivity dialog. Put it in your activity class.
@Override
public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus) {
super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus);
if (!hasFocus) {
windowCloseHandler.postDelayed(windowCloserRunnable, 250);
}
}
private void toggleRecents() {
Intent closeRecents = new Intent("com.android.systemui.recent.action.TOGGLE_RECENTS");
closeRecents.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_EXCLUDE_FROM_RECENTS);
ComponentName recents = new ComponentName("com.android.systemui", "com.android.systemui.recent.RecentsActivity");
closeRecents.setComponent(recents);
this.startActivity(closeRecents);
}
private Handler windowCloseHandler = new Handler();
private Runnable windowCloserRunnable = new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
ActivityManager am = (ActivityManager)getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
ComponentName cn = am.getRunningTasks(1).get(0).topActivity;
if (cn != null && cn.getClassName().equals("com.android.systemui.recent.RecentsActivity")) {
toggleRecents();
}
}
}
You will need to put the following permission in your manifest.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_TASKS" />
Have you tried this code?
public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus) {
super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus);
Log.d("Focus debug", "Focus changed !");
if(!hasFocus) {
Log.d("Focus debug", "Lost focus !");
Intent closeDialog = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CLOSE_SYSTEM_DIALOGS);
sendBroadcast(closeDialog);
}
}
