To disable screenshot and recording in android development, we first create a method following in our MainActivity.java file.
This method will also work for the Android version of your React Native Project. Navigate to the android folder and get the MainActivity.java file from the app folder
We will call this method setUpActivityListener(). Next, we’ll add the following code
private void setupActivityListener() {
registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(new ActivityLifecycleCallbacks() {
@Override
public void onActivityCreated(Activity activity, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
activity.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SECURE, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SECURE); }
@Override
public void onActivityStarted(Activity activity) {
}
@Override
public void onActivityResumed(Activity activity) {
}
@Override
public void onActivityPaused(Activity activity) {
}
@Override
public void onActivityStopped(Activity activity) {
}
@Override
public void onActivitySaveInstanceState(Activity activity, Bundle outState) {
}
@Override
public void onActivityDestroyed(Activity activity) {
}
});
}
Next and finally, we will call this method in our onCreate() in the MainActivity.java file as follows
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
setupActivityListener();
...
}
