Whether this is possible or not is deeply missing the point as well as showing a vital misunderstanding about UX.
- reificator 8y ago> as well as showing a vital misunderstanding about UX The third party controlling your user's experience is forcibly killing your application while it's in use as intended. This somehow means you are misunderstanding UX? People are suggesting ways to detect it and teach the user how to stop it, because they have no automated solution to this problem.
- EpicEng 8y ago>a vital misunderstanding about UX. What misunderstanding would that be exactly? App developer has to find a way to help customers work around an issue they cannot resolve themselves. Seems reasonable to me.
- shimfish 8y agoPeople were correct to downvote my comment. The tone was all wrong. For some reason, I take Android's many shortcomings as a personal affront. I guess that's what years of being a dev where all the piracy and user support are with Android issues while only returning a fraction of the profit compared to iOS will do to you. The point is that this is entirely Google's fault and yet it's the devs who have to clear up the mess and take the blame, or alternatively we bombard the users with technical fixes and explanations. Quite clearly neither of these options is where we should be with a mature OS on a mass consumer device. Now I'm getting all angry again just thinking about it. Time to up my meds.
