Always was curious how to manage android keystore sertificates for multiple apps, either generate separate keystore file each time, or just use multiple alias in the same keystore.

Google has deprecated the function “getRecentTasks” of “ActivityManager” class. Now all it does is to get the list of apps that the current app has opened. But if you are writing app that “locks” access to specific apps with password or any other protection methods, you still need to be able to get top most activity/package to react accordingly to user changing current app and for example show your overlay.

Working on remote logging system for android, I faced up with Google require not to send user information to remote system, as this violates section 4.3 of the Developer Distribution Agreement.

One of my projects has a lot of flavors, and each flavor has different keystore to sign with. As a result it has very long build.gradle project file. As each flavor need defining separate singningConfig and defining flavor signing on release buildType
