How to avoid my application introducing optimization on Samsung devices

Question

A smart manager kills an application that has not been used for 3 days. My application does some background work and therefore the user does not need to open it.

What can I do to prevent it from activating application optimization mode (Android OS 5.0.2, 5.1.1)

Answer 1

Unfortunately, there is currently no way to prevent this.

The only thing you can do is give users the option to turn off optimization for your application.

I recently did some research on this, here are some links that I have kept that may be of interest to you.

In addition, here is a snippet of code that launches the SmartApp Battery Manager application (if installed) to help users turn off optimization:

Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.samsung.android.sm", "com.samsung.android.sm.ui.battery.BatteryActivity")); try { getActivity().startActivity(intent); } catch (ActivityNotFoundException ex) { Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Smart manager not installed on this device", Toast.LENGTH_LONG) .show(); } 

Answer 2

I found an array with packages that are whitelisted from Smart Manager. There is some kind of partnership with developers and Samsung.

Galaxy S7 Android N, Smart Manager its package name is now " com.samsung.android.lool "

 Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN); intent.setClassName("com.samsung.android.lool", "com.samsung.android.sm.ui.battery.BatteryActivity"); intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER); intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); startActivity(intent); <string-array name="exclude_from_spcm"> <item>com.sds.mdmain</item> <item>com.whatsapp</item> <item>com.facebook.orca</item>
