Android Question Custom icon in recent list

[Eldritch]

Hi

I'm working on an app where the content is not something that should be shown in the recent app list.
I've tried SetActivityAttribute(Main, "android:excludeFromRecents", "true") in the manifest and this removes the apps icon in the list. Unfortunately this also kills the app every time I swap to another app. This does not happen when the excludefrom recent is not in the manifest

Best regards
Allan

Sounds like a reasonable way for the OS to behave. The user is not expected to return to the previous "session" as the app is excluded from the recent apps list.

Yeah, but is there a way to instead of at "screenshoot" from the app to supply an custom icon instead?

You can mark the activity content as "secure" and there will be no screenshot: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/how-to-block-ban-screen-shots-of-app.52075/#post-326475

Perfect. Exactly what I was looking for

Thanks Erel
