Private mode. - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This may be me but I find the private mode function isn't very private.
I tested the function by adding a video I took of my car then added it to the private section. The private icon appeared but so did the video image. Surely a private video should have a blank image otherwise let's face it, a private photo could prove slightly embarrassing.
So, am I missing something here?
I would have assumed anything marked private would be separated into a new folder locked by fingerprint or password before any information or image is displayed.

Yes, you are missing something.
When you turn private mode off, your private items simply don't appear at all.
You use private mode only when you want to access your private content.

Ah so the reverse of what I thought. Hence the setting to turn private mode off when screen goes off. Blimey. Why didn't I work that out..lol.. thanks.

[Q] Setting up Google Play Private Channel

I'm trying to publish an application to the Play store using a private channel. I registered as a developer but there is no option for enabling private channel under the domain settings>mobile tab. Likewise, there is also no option under 'Pricing and Distribution' in the developer console to make the application private as the google help suggests. Has anyone been successful at posting privately?

Hey,
I want to make my application private also, how do I do it?
About "private channel" as for what I've searched it's only for businesses etc. that have domain on google (Google Apps) [you can search for it: "google play private channel"]
So, somebody knows if it's possible to make a private app on google play, so only users with direct URL can download the app, but it won't be listed?
Thanks!

If you want to provide direct access to an apk you could post the link to a private CDN.
I finally came to the conclusion that private channel distribution only works on PAID Google domains. I have a Google mail for business account but its a grandfathered free account which doesn't support private channel distribution. I would have just upgraded BUT then only accounts in the domain can access the private channel. I'd have to assign a domain email account for every private customer we wanted to distribute software to which doesn't work for us. Sneaky Google.....

[Q] How to return back to previous activity ?

I am new to Android development, hence kindly forgive any unintentional mistakes, if made.
I have a native activity rendering using ES2.0. The app needs to start twitter authentication (it uses twitter4j).
I am starting a new activity with twitter auth url. It shows the login page. I give userId, password, the native browser says now it would be redirected to the previous page or something. Then I see a black screen which apparently is the default browser still on top of the application. If I go to home, and background processes, I see my app and the browser as separate activities which makes sense.
Now my question is , how do I code my app to return back to the application once the authentication ends?
Here is the code flow to start the new activity
1. Native code calls JNI function to start authorization
2. The Java function creates an AsyncTask, in doInBackground() it gets the request token using getOAuthRequestToken(URL) where URL = custom url "app1://callback".
3. in onPostExecute() , app starts new intent activity using this code
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(requestToken.getAuthenticationURL()));
BaseGameActivity.startActivity(intent);
Log.debug("authenticate task post ends");

Notifications in private space

hello everyone. I'm new on this board and would appreciate your quick feedback regarding the private space feature on the Mate 10:
If I create a "private space" and install applications in it (for example email , telegram etc ), would I receive notifications from those applications when the screen of the phone is turned off?
Also could I still use Face Unlock to unlock my phone?
Thank you very much!
any help please?
Unfortunately you do not receive notifications. You can't face unlock in to Private Space. You can use a fingerprint to unlock your Private Space.

View or log SMS sent on an Android test device

Hello,
I am trying to understand the behaviour of some Android malware applications especially the ones sending SMS and placing calls (actions with a cost for the mobile user).
I would like to setup a lab with Android devices where these applications will be installed and my goal is to identify the SMS sent (number, content) and the calls placed (numbers, duration, audio).
These kind of applications are hiding the SMS sent using this command :
smsManagerForSubscriptionId.sendTextMessage(str2, null, str, pendingIntent, null);
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As seen in the Android documentation, they specify the destination, the text and a pending intent.
public void sendTextMessage (String destinationAddress, String scAddress, String text, PendingIntent sentIntent, PendingIntent deliveryIntent)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Is there any chance to "force" Android to log all the SMS sent by this method ?
Or maybe it is possible to :
- log all SMS sent/received via an adb connection ?
- catch the pending intent and log its content ?
- set a DEBUG mode at Android level to log all SMS sent ?
- place some low-level commands in shell on a rooted device to talk directly with the SIM ?
All ideas are welcome, thanks.
It should be quite easy to hook the function using Frida.
