Is it possible to turn on off (hide) the samsung secure folder through code in android java? Is there any Api or other way to do this function from another app?
I want to create an android app that connects to internet and it has a simple socket.io that gets the turn on / off (hide/unhide) command from server and hides or unhides the devices secure folder.
is it possible?
thanks.
Samsung secure folder is a proprietary feature from Samsung OEM. They do not provide any api to any third party application to do any changes to this or any of there features. Any hack that you may devise would be temporary and futile as they are quite active in terminating such attempts.

I am working on a project that will work on android devices and will convert them in kiosk. So at this moment I am doing R&D on Kiosk mode, but there is very little help on it. But I came across different things. These are using DPM, Using EMM or Using Android Management API
I just wanted to do following things to ship my app to my clients.These objectives are as follow
If client is installing my app, he should follow simple steps (like android permissions) to make my app as default app.
While following simple steps, my app must make android device as Kiosk and should make my app unable to exit by clients user.
My app must be able to clear kiosk mode from device so that client can use his device as simple device
The most important thing is, we are not shipping devices with our app and we may not have any physical access to the client device and client may not be so much technical. So app must do all things
**So from the perspective of these above 4 points , what is best for me please share your knowledge. What will be best for me to go with? Please help me as this is so much confusing...

Fully managed mode
In fully managed mode the entire device is managed and the device needs to be factory reset before setup. To set up a device in fully managed mode you need to use a QR code.
For devices running Android 7.0 or above:
Turn on a new or factory-reset device.
Tap the same spot on the welcome screen six times to enter QR code mode. Connect to a WiFi network.
Scan the QR code.
For devices running Android 6.0:
Turn on a new or factory-reset device.
Follow the setup wizard and enter your Wi-Fi details.
When prompted to sign in, enter afw#setup.
Tap Next, and then accept the installation of Android Device Policy.
Scan the QR code.
Work profile mode
In work profile mode corporate apps and data are kept secure in a self-contained work profile while the user keeps control of the rest of the device. To set up a work profile you can either use a QR code or an enrollment link.
Using the enrollment link:
Make the link accessible on the device (send it via email or put it on a website).
Open the link.
Or using the QR code:
Go to Settings > Google.
Tap "Set up your work profile".
Scan the QR code.
What's next?
By now you should have a managed device configured with a basic policy, but there's much more you can do with the Android Management API

We have a Java based web application and an android app for our enterprise needs. We would like to remotely push the android app from the web application and we don't know how to achieve this. After searching in Google, I found Android EMM but did not understand what that is exactly as there were no other blogs or tutorials other than the Google site which was difficult for me to understand.
It is similar to MDM solution but do MDM servers have an app preinstalled in the devices so that the installed app manages the installation of other apps?
Can anybody tell how to remotely push the android app from my web application?
To remotely push an app to an Android device you need to manage this device, you cannot just push an app on anyone's device. To manage a device you need to set up this device as managed, which will require a factory reset.
If you want to pursue this approach you can try the Android Management API.
You can just upload .apk file to your server and provide a link to the user. This is a very simple solution but requires user to agree "install apk from third party sources". In this case, a user needs to agree with installing apk.
If you want to install apk without user agreement you need to activate Device Owner on Android (Fred mentioned in the comment this approach).
Here is the current scenario:
I have two(2) Android phones.
Android Phone 1 as the server phone.
Android Phone 2 as the client phone.
Here is what I want to do:
I want to create an Android-based app (E.g. Student Information app) where it will have basically two (2) modes:
Server - for adding, editing and deleting data on a local database.
Client - for viewing data from the database of the server.
The app will be installed to Android Phone 1 and set to Server mode.
The app will be installed to Android Phone 2 and set to Client mode.
I want to ask these questions:
I want to locally host the database of the Server app, so that Client app will be able to view the data. Is this possible?
If yes, how can I do it?
Note:
I am currently a web developer so I know that connected on the same network is a requirement.
I have implemented the same concept on a medium business where the web-based system is locally hosted so that computers on the same network can access it.
Suggest everything that you want to suggest, except the disadvantage of doing this concept. I am aware of some obvious disadvantages based from my research and willing to face the disadvantages provided that I will be able to implement the concept.
Rooting the phones is an option.
I want to accommodate small-sized business that is why I want to use Android phones rather than using Desktop Computers/Laptop.
I have read similar suggested questions here based on my title.
We have done the exact same thing in my company. The way we solved this is that the server exposes a service using the Android NSD API, so the clients (using the same API) can find it on the network. And after a client has connected to the server, the server sends its database file (yes, the .db file in /data/data/...) to the client via OutputStream. When the client receives the entire database and checks for its integrity, it copies it to its own /data/data/... and restarts part of the app.

I've been thinking about implementing of Google Play licence check on my Java server. Is that even possible? I haven't been able to find anything on this matter. I know Android LVL is written in Java, but I'm not sure if it can run outside of dalvik machine. Is there a posibillty of checking Google account name or some kind of device ID against Google Play to check whether an app has been bought in a Java server application?
The answer above is simply verifying response data (returned by google LVL on android device) on app server.
I think the question is asking if it's possible to call some google web API to do Google Play license check on its app server. But it seems like google doesn't open the web API interface to its licensing server, all LVL calls need to be done using its google play service framework on android device.
Yes it's possible, the java sources are out there and could be downloaded (and afaik, the jar is not dexed until you compile your application) - see some kind of manual over there at developers.android.com to read about how to get the sources
I've heard about a PHP project trying to attempt it, but using java should be no problem at all - you do the same things on the server, the manuals state for the client - and let the client sends the encrypted response from the market directly to the server via SSL (e.g. byte[] post)
You should get a UID from ResponseData.userId

i am developing an APP in Android which share screen to all android mobile phone connected in a session.
i want to know that android provides any sdk which provides same service like desktop to dektop access as in team View ?
or any Idea, which SDK i have to used?
Thank you.
Smartphones can't directly connect to each others since they are running in different networks. The common way to solve this is an additional server component. All phones need to connect to the server and send their data. The server is pushing this data to other connected clients, probably by using push notifications. In Android Push Notifications are known as C2DM.

I like 2X RDP a lot. It works very well on phone and tablet and connects to the regular Windows RDP server, so don’t have to install anything else on the server machine.
