    Hi Guys,
    I have been scratching my head to come with a solution to show a screen overlay on incoming call screen when phone is locked.

    Basically i am trying to build a feature similar to truecaller but it should show the information that i have stored in my phone.

    The overlay is working when phone is not locked

    Any help is appreciated

    Thanks

    I don't think you can show overlays on the lock screen, sorry! :(

    Hi joaomgcd

    I managed to show the screen as dialog using autotools webscreen but even though it is interactive, the dialog closes as soon as i click anywhere else.

    An overlay would be interactive and more flexible than dialog.

    Isnt there anything that can be done.

    Can we make the dialog static
