You can now prevent a malicious overlay application from potentially observing a user's password entry by enabling "Prevent password entry if screen overlay detected on Android" in the

BlackBerry Dynamics

profile in

UEM

.

The user will receive an alert if an overlay is detected, prompting them to close the application that is generating the overlay or revoke its permission to appear on top in the system preferences. Users will be prevented from entering their password and unlocking the application until the overlay is removed. This policy is turned off by default. For more information, see BlackBerry Dynamics profile settings in the

UEM

documentation.

This release of the

BlackBerry Dynamics SDK for Android

provides new AppCompat compatible widgets and a view class inflater to automatically inflate widgets, specified in layout files, into the correct

BlackBerry Dynamics

widget classes. This avoids the need to recode all of the layout files for your app in order to take advantage of

BlackBerry Dynamics

' data leakage prevention capability. For more information, see the com.good.gd.widget API documentation.
