Question

I want to restrict access to parts of my Android application using a pattern lock control (just like the builtin Android lock). What is the best way to do this?

Answer 1

I would say write your own pattern lock control.

• Extend the View class
• Override onDraw (to draw your UI)
• Override onTouchEvent to handle the user interaction.

I have recently done this myself but the I would need to tidy up the code before I would consider making it public on here.
