I’m working on an Android app that includes a feature to share content to WhatsApp. The sharing functionality works perfectly under normal conditions. However, when the AppLock for WhatsApp is enabled, the feature breaks. The content that normally gets shared without issues is not being shared when the AppLock is active.
When AppLock is enabled, WhatsApp requires the user to unlock the app first before it can handle the incoming intent. This interruption seems to prevent the content from being shared.
I tried looking through articles but wasn’t able to find any concrete solution.
- Why does sharing to WhatsApp fail when AppLock is enabled?
- How can I handle the AppLock interruption gracefully and ensure that the content is shared after the user unlocks WhatsApp?
- Are there any workarounds or best practices for dealing with AppLock when sharing content via intents?
Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated!
