Locking App and Service

Completed Posted Feb 23, 2014 Paid on delivery

I do not need an entire app but, rather, a framework that I will subsequently build on. I will consist of an application and a background service.

Application: Has a single activity that has a button. When initially launched the button says "LOCK". When pressed it starts the service: The button then says "UNLOCK"

Service: The service checks regularly (or on some trigger) to see if the user has returned to the home screen (HOME button or BACK button pressed). If so it brings the Application to the front. Since there is a 5 second delay imposed by Android when a background service launches an app, the background service adds a top view that covers the home screen and displays a message "Waiting 5 seconds" until the application is reactivated.

In the application, once the "UNLOCK" button is pressed the service is stopped and regular HOME and BACK button servicing is resumed.

An example of this functionality in a real app is Kids Zone.

I would prefer this be done in Xamarin dev environment but a Java/Eclipse framework is fine.
