is it possible to run a code block(a method or something similiar) only on my device? it should be a piece of code that I can keep into the public apk but get executed only for me. Thank you very much for your help.

  • Please clarify—you want to, say, use some unique identifier for your device and conditionally run the code based on that unique identifier? – Arya McCarthy Jun 28 '17 at 20:47
  • Yes, exactly. A simple example would be: when I click on the app it will show a toast message ONLY TO ME. Everyone else will not see that toast message. So, if we want to see it in a pseudo-code way it could be: if(me){Toast.make.....} – Fausto Jun 28 '17 at 20:52

Every Android device has a unique device ID. You can find out yours and put it in a conditional if block to display the toast.

Steps

  1. Find your device Unique device ID and save it (or hard-code it in the code ).

  2. if(device_unique_id == MY_DEVICE_ID)

    //show toast

More details on obtaining it are here Is there a unique Android device ID?

  • Thank you, I found a solution by using a device id, but not from that post which force you to put some restrictions on the apk. – Fausto Jun 29 '17 at 20:47
