| How to make App locker in Android studio Oreo |
In this article , you will learn how to create basic app locker for android studio and which support on all apis including Oreo because when I was creating app locker I found almost all tutorials and website are useless they are not provide actual thing and some are providing with code that only supports on lower apis. In this article you will found app locker that will be supported on all apis with source code. First of all lets clear the basic logic, to create app locker you need to consider 5 things
1. Usage Stats Services
2. Background Services
3. Broadcast Receiver
4. Sqlite Database
5. Lock Screen
Usage Stats Services is used for telling which app is running on android device at current time, so app locker will detect app using this services. The purpose of background services is to launch lock screen when detected app is found in database with status of locked , similarly broadcast receiver is used to restart background service when your background services are destroyed during phone restart or shut down. Sqlite database is used for saving your password and list of apps stored with package name and its status ( lock or unlock ). Lock screen will stop any launched app if it is found in app locker database with locked status and it will open with password.

Implementation of App locker in Java
This is board cast receiver class. It is called when you restart your mobile device and it restart background services
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver; import android.content.Context; import android.content.Intent; import android.os.Build; import android.util.Log; public class RestartService extends BroadcastReceiver { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED)) { Log.i("Broadcast Listened", "Service tried to stop"); //Toast.makeText(context, "Service restarted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) { context.startForegroundService(new Intent(context, BackgroundServices.class)); } else { context.startService(new Intent(context, BackgroundServices.class)); } // context.startService(new Intent(context.getApplicationContext(), NotificationService.class)); } Log.i("Broadcast Listened", "Service tried to stop"); //Toast.makeText(context, "Service restarted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) { context.startForegroundService(new Intent(context, BackgroundServices.class)); } else { context.startService(new Intent(context, BackgroundServices.class)); } } }
2. Background Service:
This class continuous check for package name of new app launched in your android phone, if that package name is found sqlite database then it will open lock screen and current app will not be accessible until correct password is given.

Whole Project source code is not free, you need to buy it and its cost is 10$, if you are interested to buy text on Facebook Page so I will provide you downloadable link after payment. Thank you
