Is it a malware of some sorts?
Most likely. It is using the default icon used when creating an android software project.
What permissions does it use? It should show you in the app info setting if you long click it.

Hello everyone,
I am a computer science student, noob java developer, web and database programmer and a general all around nerdy fellow.
Short Version (if you don't want to read):
How does the application level permission system work on the Android OS? Is it all simply held within the Manifest.permission xml file? Every time an application commits to an action that would require permission, does it simply do a quick check of the ID and then cross-reference the Manifest.permission file at the system level?
Long Version (if you want to read):
I have been looking at LBE Security as an app to allow me to control on a per app basis which permissions they are allowed to have. A wicked awesome idea. The only problem (aside from it not being open source) is that it drains the battery through CPU usage of its active guard feature.
I thought to myself there must be a simple way to manage the permissions of all apps without the necessity of a background service continually running. Could not an app be created (which would of course require root access) that would allow you to edit (through a GUI) the permissions of all your applications. Write to the Manifest.permission the appropriate changes and then close. Thus negating any continuously running background service drain on the CPU/mem=> battery?
Is this how all permissions for applications are handled through this one file? Or am I missing something?
I have searched quite a bit, as far as I can tell its all handled by Manifest.permission. Please enlighten me if I am mistaken.
I'm a 14 year old android app developer in training
I need help/tips on my app. I have already set up android studio with the sdk and jdk.
I already made the wireframes and storyboard of the app. So I started making the main screen/activity in Android studio. Done with the main screen, although I haven't programmed it yet. What now? Do I start another Activity? I would like for you guys to help me through the process of developing my android app. It's called Shadow. I would really appreciate the help from the adult Developers.

Post a screenshot of your app. What kind of app you are trying to develop.. give a brief description as well.

Hi !
If you want to do several "pages" with different controls there are several ways:
1 . use different activities . This is the simplest way
2. use fragments. This is a bit more difficult
What do you mean? Screenshot of my wire-frames? or of the main activity app?
The app I'm developing is a File hider App. But it's a little more organized and clean/minimalist looking than the other apps that are on the market. I call it Shadow File Hider. You're supposed to select the files that you want to hide and place them in a list. You can activate that list with a switch. The files are hidden. To show them again, just use the switch. But I also want to incorporate a way of hiding the actual app. This is what will make it stand out from the other apps. You can use the pattern lock screen as a Boss Key to hide the app. Use a custom pattern - that you set up in the app - to activate the app, before your normal pattern. That way when you use your smartphone normally no one will know the app is there or that you are hiding something. But you can easily open the app and close at will.
BTW
What's the best way to monetize my app when I'm finished?

So I'm on my way to finishing the app. But one of the main settings in my app is to hide itself with a boss key. It's supposed to work with the lock-screen pattern. But how am I supposed to develop that? Any Ideas?
Hello guys,
I am currently developing a native Android app using Android SDK, it runs on location so the app runs in the background constantly fetching user's location. For that, android automatically shows a notification that app is running in background and user cannot remove it
I have found only that Android Oreo now gives you a feature where you can remove this notification. But this has to be done on every user's phone. Can we add something in our code that hides this for all users?
Appreciate any help.
Thank you
Hello,
Is is possible to change an Android phone Geographical location permanently without the use of VPN? If yes,I'll like to learn how to do it. Thanks.

If the phone is rooted then you can change its default geolocation settings by means of SetEdit app - available off Google Play Store.

I use this application by RD M66B (in the paid version i.e. with its companion) for that:

There are apps that fake your GPS location. However, cell tower reporting or pinging will not be fooled.
In a world where privacy is so exploited an app with this functionality would be very useful, there are many "spy apps", most of the time we need to copy some sensitive data through the clipboard, I heard news about the beta version of Android 12 with this functionality. But the verdict is: is there any way to develop an app of this category?
PS: I'm not a developer, I just found a username available to use

There is already one available. Using it already for years.
