How to disable unlocking screen programatically


  1. I need to lock the Android phone when the user leaves a defined WiFi area

  2. I need to prevent the user from unlocking the phone when he/she is out side the defined WiFi area

  3. I need to unlock the phone when user is back to the WiFi area



I guess list items 1 and 3 can be done programatically.



Is it possible to do the 2 nd item?

    Fortunately, this is not supported, for obvious security reasons.

    You are welcome to create your own home screen that offers different behavior when inside/outside a defined area and use that in lieu of trying to prevent a phone from being unlocked. However, the user is welcome to remove that home screen by booting their device into safe mode and uninstalling your app.

  2. I had done similar thing in past but dont have the code right now so cant help in that respect. What I did is implement the app as Car Dock that will make the Home button override unless car-dock mode is dis-abled. I hope this will help, for code google it you definitely find resources

  3. Locking can be done using this method: How to lock screen, android
    Unlocking look here: How my app can unlock screen programatically?

    For your problem 2, i see 2 solutions

    a. If the user unlocks the screen, a message is fired: check at that moment if you are in the area and if not, instantly lock again

    b. create your own locksreen with no possibility to unlock yourself

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
