Screen recording example

[lfdversluis]

Since lollipop it's possible to record the screen: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/development/+/bf1e262/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/media/projection/MediaProjectionDemo.java

Perhaps an example using a service running in the background while it captures the screen is a nice idea.

Wowie.is it possible though?.

But wait a minutes.

Is that a security a hole?

No, as per android 5 this is possible.

[ShihabSoft]

But wait.

is there any special permission for that.

If not,i am sure it may be a security vulnerability..

Incase,a spyware app can easily start a service and stream out the screen
of the user to the server or save it in local.and send after a while to an
attacker.

@lfdversluis Sure, that would be nice! Is this something you would like to work on?

[lfdversluis]

@saudet eventually, yes. Currently I am wrapping up some different work so until july 10 I won't be able to do much. I hope someone else is willing to make a start, else I'll get there eventually.

[lfdversluis]

@ShihabSoft It does require additional permissions as far as I am aware. If you wish to protect your apps, use the FLAG_SECURE and it cannot be recorded 👍

[lfdversluis]

Alright, I am going to try and make a sample project based on the idea.

[saudet]

Great 👍 Thanks!

Just letting you guys know I haven't forgotten it due to work and other stuff.
Basically I've tried to implementing a backgrounds service from the google io, but it crashes my device completely (even the hard and soft keys no longer respond). As it's code from google themselves I wonder what is going wrong.

Also, I've seen some updates passing by so I'll update my versions and such and (hopefully) give it another go in the coming week.

No problem! Thanks for the update
