"Protected Apps" setting on Huawei phones, and how to handle it
There isn't a setting in the manifest, and Huawei has enabled Tinder because it's a popular app. There isn't a way to know if apps are protected.
Anyway I used ifHuaweiAlert() in onCreate() to show an AlertDialog:
private void ifHuaweiAlert() {
final SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences("ProtectedApps", MODE_PRIVATE);
final String saveIfSkip = "skipProtectedAppsMessage";
boolean skipMessage = settings.getBoolean(saveIfSkip, false);
if (!skipMessage) {
final SharedPreferences.Editor editor = settings.edit();
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setClassName("com.huawei.systemmanager", "com.huawei.systemmanager.optimize.process.ProtectActivity");
if (isCallable(intent)) {
final AppCompatCheckBox dontShowAgain = new AppCompatCheckBox(this);
dontShowAgain.setText("Do not show again");
dontShowAgain.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
editor.putBoolean(saveIfSkip, isChecked);
editor.apply();
}
});
new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
.setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_alert)
.setTitle("Huawei Protected Apps")
.setMessage(String.format("%s requires to be enabled in 'Protected Apps' to function properly.%n", getString(R.string.app_name)))
.setView(dontShowAgain)
.setPositiveButton("Protected Apps", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
huaweiProtectedApps();
}
})
.setNegativeButton(android.R.string.cancel, null)
.show();
} else {
editor.putBoolean(saveIfSkip, true);
editor.apply();
}
}
}
private boolean isCallable(Intent intent) {
List<ResolveInfo> list = getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(intent,
PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY);
return list.size() > 0;
}
private void huaweiProtectedApps() {
try {
String cmd = "am start -n com.huawei.systemmanager/.optimize.process.ProtectActivity";
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
cmd += " --user " + getUserSerial();
}
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
} catch (IOException ignored) {
}
}
private String getUserSerial() {
//noinspection ResourceType
Object userManager = getSystemService("user");
if (null == userManager) return "";
try {
Method myUserHandleMethod = android.os.Process.class.getMethod("myUserHandle", (Class<?>[]) null);
Object myUserHandle = myUserHandleMethod.invoke(android.os.Process.class, (Object[]) null);
Method getSerialNumberForUser = userManager.getClass().getMethod("getSerialNumberForUser", myUserHandle.getClass());
Long userSerial = (Long) getSerialNumberForUser.invoke(userManager, myUserHandle);
if (userSerial != null) {
return String.valueOf(userSerial);
} else {
return "";
}
} catch (NoSuchMethodException | IllegalArgumentException | InvocationTargetException | IllegalAccessException ignored) {
}
return "";
}
+1 for Pierre for his great solution which works for multiple device Manufacturers (Huawei, asus, oppo ...).
I wanted to use his code in my Android app which is in Java. I inspired my code from Pierre and Aiuspaktyn answers.

Add the following permissions in your Android.Manifest
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="oppo.permission.OPPO_COMPONENT_SAFE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.huawei.permission.external_app_settings.USE_COMPONENT"/>
- I am still facing few issues with OPPO devices
I hope this helps someone.
