Question

So based on https://developer.amazon.com/help/faq.html#KindleFire Kindle Fire is NOT supporting disable_keyguard permission.

But I want that my application runs both on normal android devices and on kindle. Is there any simple solution to this problem?

And this permission is a must have so I can’t just remove it from application.

Answer 1

You could just surround disableKeyguard() call with try catch and perform some additional logic there.

KeyguardManager kgm = (KeyguardManager) Application.getSystemService(Application.KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
KeyguardManager.KeyguardLock kl = kgm.newKeyguardLock(VIEW_LOG_TAG);
try{
    kl.disableKeyguard();
}
catch (SecurityException e)
{
    //kindle code goes here
}
