Z Zvi Member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 25, 2018 #1 I've made an app with phone owner's name, email and alternate contact number to be accessed if the phone is lost. The app includes both main screen and home screen widget and a click on either will call and also send an sms to the alternate contact number. Now I would like the app/widget to appear when a wrong lock screen code is entered (or even when the wrong code is entered more than x times). What is the best way to do that? Thanks for any suggestions...

It is (or at least it was) possible with Device Administration - https://stackoverflow.com/questions...-screen-incorrect-password-by-user-in-android https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/admin/device-admin. Now some of the function are deprecated - typical to Google, always making OS changes and limit functionality. Upvote 0
