Hey guys I'm looking for an app or something that can do something similar to this:
I need to be able to lock purchases from the android market when my kids are playing games on my phone.
Either that or something that allows me to "lock" specific apps..maybe have them require a password to unlock?
I don't want to apply that to ALL my apps cause that would be inconvenient and plus I want my kids to be able to access their games. (Don't like kids mode, and doesn't work if not on mySense.)
So in the end, an app that can block purchases or an app that locks specific apps.
That would be awesome. If you guys know of any please let me know.
Thanks.
There are various apps in the market. Check them out and see which one works for you. Search app lock in the market.

I'm actually using app protector and it works great for me. Password protected and you can choose to have the unlock pattern as well. I have locked gallery and messages as well as the market. Try that out. The also have a lite version u can try out before actually purchasing the app. Good luck

Yes. I'm very aware there are various apps in the market, that's the reason I made this post.
To ask for a recommendation from anyone that might be currently using an app like this.
Thanks anyway.

I don't know which app caused it, and I'm already using adfree, but still I'm looking at some nasty white space in a lot of apps.
Before I reinstall evertything, and check which app is using this, are there any other options? Or maybe it's just a Google thing where I just need to live with?

This is not the place for this topic
Try contacting the people on the Market where you placed your app.
Good luck,

If you mean the Android Market there are a few reasons why it would not show up. I still have problems with this on few devices actually.
Possible reasons...
Screen Resolution not supported. In you android Manifest you must specify which res are supported.
Device does not support one of the required features, bluetooth, compass ect...
Device is below minimum sdk version.
Sorry im on my phone and i dint know were to post it..

Its not a matter of working, its a matter of the market filters excluding it.
If it's been out for a week, it should at least show on Appbrain or androlib. I'd start there, just to check if it's actually in the market at all.
If a search brings it up there it means you messed up with the filters. If it doesn't show up even there, it means the app is not on the market at all, and you should probably contact Google support...
Post your AndroidManifest.xml file and what phone you are using.
Hi all
I would like to know if it's possible to update a third party application without user action.
I noted that the android market can self-update the installed apps. The user is not asked about an acknowledgment.
I don't want to offer my self-coded app in the market. I found a way to update this app from my homepage, but the user must this affirm.
you could make a service that runs when the phone boots up that checks whether a new version exists, and if it does it downloads it.

thanks for your help.
That's not the problem. The download and the install works fine. All I want is to get rid of the dialog asking the user whether he want to update or not.
sorry ignore, misread the question

if after installing the app you open the app from within the market again, it gives you the option of auto-updating?

my application is not available on the market. it's a business applikation only used by our company. therefore i don't want to upload it to the market.
oh I get you. I know it must be possible because like you said the market can do it, but I don't know how, sorry.
ill do some digging and see what I can find.

I looked around for a app, but could not find one that works.
I found the best one called blueputdroid, but that app won't work on my phone because I have ADFREE and it blocks host, and the app dev doesn't want to have ad's disabled.. soo the app doesn't work without disabling and restoring the hosts.
Anyone have any ideas of a similar app?
bumppppppppppp
I've been looking for an app like that too, but no luck. The best I could do was control media centers that I stream to the PS3....close enough
that'd be sweet
I'd love to get an app like that.
I wish there was an app that would let me use the phone as a Bluetooth keyboard for sending out messages through psn

Oh man that would be awesome!!! I hate using the pop-up keyboard with the control. I wonder if its possible..?

It is possible, I tried the app Blueputdroid, you guys can too, there's pro and free ads/noads im guessing, but even on the free if you have adfree enabled and your hosts have been changed, the app refuses to start up, so someone who HASNT used adfree can try it and tell us.
Some ROMS have adfree auto-enabled, idk how to get away from that if i ever wanted to.

It sounds like a good idea but I wonder how well it works in a real life setting.
Will try and report back.
Been using it all night works perfectly

Under a low light setting it obviously doesn't work.
Maybe it should set the screen as white to try to act as a light?
Also, no feature to use it in replacement for a lock screen

It allows for a password bypass.
At least try it before you knock it.

Protect all apps that have access to this like the market but under low light settings use the bypass

i tried this last weekend when i saw a similar post. it seemed to take 2-3 seconds, no matter how good the pic. but with a pattern/lock, i could have the app/device unlocked in >1sec. so it has a HUGE cool factor, but it takes more time than its worth IMHO
I played with this app, I found it works well, however, the implementation could use another option.
Right now you basically choose any apps you want to lock, and if you launch any of those apps you have to wait a few seconds for the face to get recognized and the program let you in, which is a pain in the ass, forcing you to wait a few seconds to open a program.
There is not option to unlock on phone wake, which is what the main feature of the program should be, IMHO, so that you can just unlock on waking the phone and be done, otherwise it's a bit of a headache waiting to be unlocked on per-app basis.
Mind you, once you unlock on any app you can be unlocked to use the other apps that use the face recognition to lock. Still being forced to wait on app launch, I do not like.

ya but if you uninstall the app and re-install you'll need their email and password to set the app back up if its google voice or a gmail account or something like that. Google voice would be the app i would want locked so nobody can see the messages i have... so if they uninstall and re-install they wont get my messages still without my info.. Good application
