I set my activity as a default launcher to intercept home button clicks like so:
<activity
android:name=".ExampleActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
When my activity, ExampleActivity is launched, if i click the home key, I get prompted to choose. If I select make this my default and chose my activity, I am stuck In my activity as desired.
The problem is, when I leave the activity, I try to remove my activity from the default launcher, but am unsuccessful.
I have tried:
ComponentName componentName = new ComponentName(
"com.example.exampleactivity",
"com.example.exampleactivity.class");
pm.setComponentEnabledSetting(componentName, PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DEFAULT, PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);
And:
PackageManager pm = getActivity().getPackageManager();
ComponentName name = new ComponentName(this, "com.example.exampleactivity.class");
pm.setComponentEnabledSetting(name, PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED, 0);
But my designation for the home is never removed.
Does anyone have a working way to fix the above?
I only wan't the home button to be default for a specific activity, not my entire application. When I leave the activity, it should be removed and restored to default.
