Android Question [Solved] Activity at top, over a locked screen like a phonecall

[xunwichtig]

Hi,

i search for a solution to bring a activity to top of a locked and "screen-off" screen.

till now i found a post to wake up btw. turning the screen on, but if i use a locked screen (wishing, or number and so one), the activity is behind this "lockscreen" until i unlock it.

So, does a way exist to place the activity at the top of all, like a phonecall do it?

Hi,

this i have found too, but it dosn't help ... it works only if the screen has no password-lock. (and, i have try it too)
So .. i search for a more "phone-call" like solution.

HI,

It seems that you need to add it for each activity that needs to show over the lockscreen, too.
But then, (As I am researching), how to return the lockscreen(What codes?), after your activity is finished?

I'll let you know if I find them, I know they exists!

Hello,

I checked the Android® developer site without finding the flag values to turn the screenlock back on, if that was the state that we started from.
Need to find another way, still searching.
