Smart Protection UI Customization

Malwarelytics for Android offers customization of its UI elements.

Smart protection feature has the following UI elements:

• Threat screen that displays list of dangerous apps.
• Notification about a dangerous app.

You can customize these UI parts of smart protection in the AppProtection class initialization through setting ThreatMitigationUIConfig in the AntivirusConfig.Builder instance:

val threatMitigationUIConfig = AntivirusConfig.ThreatMitigationUIConfig.Builder()
    .notificationSmallIcon(R.drawable.my_notification_icon)
    .notificationChannelId("AV-CHANNEL")
    .screenDeleteIcon(R.drawable.custom_delete_icon)
    .screenSettingsIcon(R.drawable.custom_settings_icon)
    .screenTheme(R.style.CustomThreatScreenTheme)
    .customLocalization("cs")
    .build()

val antivirusConfig = AntivirusConfig.Builder()
    // ...
    .threatMitigationUIConfig(threatMitigationUIConfig)
    .build()

Styling Threat Screen

Main portion of threat screen customization is done with Android styles that are set in ThreatMitigationUIConfig with screenTheme(Int). The expected argument is an Android resource id pointing to a theme.

Config items screenDeleteIcon(Int) and screenSettingsIcon(Int) define drawables for image buttons, the expected values are Android resource ids pointing to drawables.

Styling Notifications

Config items notificationSmallIcon(Int) and notificationChannelId(String) which define small icon for notification and notification channel ID, respectively.

Changing Default Localization

Default string resources in an Android app can be written in any language. Malwarelytics for Android use English locale (“en-US”) as the default. In order to change the default the developer has to define which locale to use. As an example changing the default localization of the SDK to Czech requires the developer to set customLocalization("cs").

The default localization can be later changed after initialization by calling:

val smartProtectionManager = antivirus.getSmartProtectionManager()
smartProtectionManager.setCustomLocalization(languageCode)
