Hidding and Locking apps in Android - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm looking from an app that would:
1) Hide target app's icon, status bar and list of open applications
2) Have a disguised icon for the app itself, when I click it it asks for a password.
3) After entering the password, I get the list of apps that i've hidden
4) clicking an app lunches it
5) when screen locks the app disapear from list of open application and must enter password again to access that app (or perhaps time based).
Thanks.

Go to the app info and enable 'Show popup window notification' setting. Then restart the app.
-Got the old premium version (Ubuntu Phone Experience) ?
Send an email so you don't have to purchase it again.
-I bought the premium version, now is asking to purchase it again (using the same account)
Try to clear the cache and data of Play Store, then start Play Store at least once.
Android Settings>Apps>Play Store app>Clear Cache/Data.
If this didn't work contact by email.
-Why does the app need DIRECTLY CALL PHONE NUMBERS permission?
This permission is only necessary for Direct Dial shortcuts that might be added to the apps list.
-How do i open recent apps menu?
Swipe to the outside of the bar, without lifting the finger off the screen and selecting recent apps. Wait a sec to open recent apps menu. To close, swipe the finger back to the bar.
-Am i unable to install other apps while the app is running?
For security reasons android automatically blocks the installation of other apps while Glovebox is running, to prevent installations without your consent. You have to disable the app and re-enable it again after the installation.​]

Access vendor-specific 'screen lock settings' from app

Hey everyone,
we are developing an app and at one step it should open the settings for the screen lock. Normally this is located in the security settings (Settings.ACTION_SECURITY_SETTINGS), but some vendors like LG and I believe Samsung have additional 'screen lock settings' (see screenshot). Is it possible to access them from an app? Or would you need a vendor-specific SDK for that?

Ads app to Task Manager whitelist or exclude from getting closed.

Hi,
I'm using snapdragon version of Note 4. I'm wondering if there's a way to add app to Task Manager whitelist or exclude from getting closed.
Condition is, the app I need to exclude is a floating icon on UI and doesn't show up in recent items however the floating app gets closed when I do the "Clean all".
You can open recents and swipe down an app and press the lock button. Also go to battery settings> manage apps battery usage> select app> no restrictions.

How to create Widget On Tap Action to open App Drawer.

[Q] How Android keeps opened apps on task manager even after rebooting the phone?

I can see the apps that I've opened in recent app section even after rebooting the phone.
If the apps are using RAM to work why don't they disappear when I restart the phone?
The Recents screen (also referred to as the Overview screen, recent task list, or recent apps) is a system-level UI that lists recently accessed activities and tasks. The user can navigate through the list and select a task to resume, or the user can remove a task from the list by swiping it away. The list is persistent, means it doesn't get cleared on Android's boot-up.
Resume: As long as an app listed in recent apps isn't removed there, it gets shown there.
