react-native-lock-task-android

Getting started

$ npm install react-native-lock-task-android --save

Mostly automatic installation

$ react-native link react-native-lock-task-android

Manual installation

Android

Open up android/app/src/main/java/[...]/MainActivity.java

Add import com.throwjojo.locktaskandroid.RNLockTaskAndroidPackage; to the imports at the top of the file
Add new RNLockTaskAndroidPackage() to the list returned by the getPackages() method

Append the following lines to android/settings.gradle:

include ':react-native-lock-task-android'
project(':react-native-lock-task-android').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, 	'../node_modules/react-native-lock-task-android/android')

Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in android/app/build.gradle:
```
  compile project(':react-native-lock-task-android')
```

Minimum API Level

The Lock Task(task pinning) API only works from API 21(Lollipop) onwards as a result of that, this module has a minimum API target of 21 so for your project to compile properly it will also need a minimum API target of 21. This might change in the future if I can find something comparable to use for <21.

Starting/Stopping Lock Task

import { LockTaskAndroid } from 'react-native-lock-task-android';

// START
LockTaskAndroid.stopLockTask();

// STOP
LockTaskAndroid.startLockTask();

A more robust toggle example

isLockTaskOn is an async function so that checks whether task is currently being pinned.

import { LockTaskAndroid } from 'react-native-lock-task-android';

toggleLockTask = async() => {
    let active = await LockTaskAndroid.isLockTaskOn();
    if (active) {
      LockTaskAndroid.stopLockTask();
    } else {
      LockTaskAndroid.startLockTask();
    }
};

toggleLockTask();
