Many a times we have seen App which detect and won’t allow us to take screenshots. So as an App developer on Xamarin, it’s quiet intriguing to know how to achieve that. Turns out, it’s just a line of code that would allow us to achieve that.
this.Window.SetFlags(WindowManagerFlags.Secure, WindowManagerFlags.Secure);
Setting up the Flags for Window Manager does the job. Now just add this in a Blank Android App and test it out. You will see that it works just like that.
Happy Coding!
On this fine day of Teacher’s Day, my mentor from Aditi asked me if I know any samples on creating a simple app for Speech to Text recognition in Android. I searched on the net but did not find much result. So then I thought, why not I create a sample, push it in Git and send him the link.
So after an hour the sample was done and pushed to Git. Xamarin allows the use of Android APIs to be utilized in a very easy way.
In just few lines of code I was able to use the RecognizerIntent to launch an activity that will prompt the user for speech and send it through a speech recognizer. The results will be returned via activity results in the event handler OnActivityResult.
The sample can be downloaded and used as is from here.
