How to disable screen capture in Android fragment?
Performing your disableScreenCapture()
call in onResume
, onCreateView
or onActivityAttached
in your Fragment should all work - they did for me. Performing that call in onActivityCreated
might not work as I believe that hook is only called when the Activity is being re-created, after it's destroyed. However, I didn't try that one.
If performing that call in onCreateView
isn't working for you, are you 100% certain that your Fragment is actually being added to the Activity?
For a DialogFragment
it's slightly different:
getDialog().getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SECURE,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SECURE);
A DialogFragment
isn't a Dialog
itself, but instead holds a reference to one and shows/dismisses it when the fragment is added and removed. Dialogs have their own Windows and must have the flag set individually.
The below code worked for me.
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
getActivity().getWindow().setFlags(LayoutParams.FLAG_SECURE, LayoutParams.FLAG_SECURE);
Window window = getActivity().getWindow();
WindowManager wm = getActivity().getWindowManager();
wm.removeViewImmediate(window.getDecorView());
wm.addView(window.getDecorView(), window.getAttributes());
}
