Android Question Problem with intent CLOSE_SYSTEM_DIALOGS

[Linostar]

Hi,

I am trying to disable recent apps dialog (usually open by long-pressing the home key) using the the following code:

Sub Activity_WindowFocusChanged(Focused As Boolean)
   dim myPhone as Phone
   If Not(Focused) Then
     Dim i As Intent
     i.Initialize("android.intent.action.CLOSE_SYSTEM_DIALOGS", "")
     myPhone.SendBroadcastIntent(i)
   End If
End Sub

However, this is giving me a java.lang.NullPointerException error when the window loses focus.
Where is the error I've committed?

Thanks.

Can you post the full error message from the logs?

Sorry. It seems the nsip I posted above was bit different from my actual code. The declaration of "myPhone as Phone" in my actual code was made in the Globals sub. When I moved it to the Activity_WindowFocusHasChanged sub, there is no longer a jaba.lang.NullPointerException error occuring, which I find pretty weird by the way.

Now, although the error disappeared, the sendBoradcastIntent command isn't doing what it is supposed to do here, and I can still open the recent apps dialog by long pressing the home key.

Any suggestions?

The home button and the recent apps button are not supposed to be disabled.

The home button and the recent apps button are not supposed to be disabled.

That's sad news for someone trying to develop a lockscreen app like me!
