Java Question Bypassing lock screen

[gorelshv]

Hi.
I need a way to bypass the lockscreen and show the app.
I've tried using WindowManager and setting a flag - "SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED" in a custom library but obviously I'm doing something wrong.

here is the code I've tried to use:

   public void Unlock (final BA ba){
      Window layoutparams = ba.activity.getWindow();
      layoutparams.setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED);    
   }

When I run it I get a null reference exception...

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Have you declared your class with @ActivityObject? Otherwise ba.activity will be null.

Thank you! It worked!
But now I have another problem. As I wake up the device and show my activity, I also want to run Voice Recognition. Problem is, as soon as VR shows the activity disappears and so is the little VR window, and the lock screen shows again. Without VR, my activity stays infront, as it should be. Any suggestions?

Sorry but I never tried to programmatically unlock the screen.
