'Unable to add view to a window with TYPE_PHONE params android
I am trying to create a floating view which should appear on top of everything but notification panel and settings app hide my view
I tried to use WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_PHONE
but its deprecated after oreo and app crashes if I try to add a view to that window with params set to WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_PHONE
here is my java code
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.graphics.PixelFormat;
import android.opengl.Visibility;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.view.Gravity;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.WindowManager;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class FloatingMouseService extends Service {
private WindowManager mWindowManager;
private View floatingMouse;
public FloatingMouseService() {
}
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not yet implemented");
}
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
LayoutInflater layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater) FloatingMouseService.this.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
floatingMouse = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.layoutmouse, null);
final WindowManager.LayoutParams params = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE,
PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
params.gravity = Gravity.TOP | Gravity.LEFT;
params.x = 0;
params.y = 100;
mWindowManager = (WindowManager) FloatingMouseService.this.getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE);
mWindowManager.addView(floatingMouse, params);
}
}
here is MainActivity.java
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Build;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.Settings;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
final int CODE_DRAW_OVER_OTHER_APP_PERMISSION = 2084;
TextView serMess = findViewById(R.id.serMess);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M && !Settings.canDrawOverlays(this)) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION,
Uri.parse("package:" + getPackageName()));
startActivityForResult(intent, CODE_DRAW_OVER_OTHER_APP_PERMISSION);
} else {
initializeView();
}
}
private void initializeView() {
Button connect = findViewById(R.id.connect);
findViewById(R.id.connect).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
startService(new Intent(MainActivity.this, FloatingMouseService.class));
new Thread(new ClientServerReq()).start();
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Connected Successfully", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
connect.setText("Connected");
}
});
}
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
final int CODE_DRAW_OVER_OTHER_APP_PERMISSION = 2084;
if (requestCode == CODE_DRAW_OVER_OTHER_APP_PERMISSION) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
initializeView();
} else { //Permission is not available
Toast.makeText(this,
"Draw over other app permission not available. Closing the application",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
} else {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
}
}
here is my Manifest
