rawdrawandroid VS ObjFW

> A little bit of this also has to do to stick it to all those Luddites on the internet who post "that's impossible" or "you're doing it wrong" to Stack Overflow questions... Requesting permissions in the JNI "oh you have to do that in Java" or other dumb stuff like that. I am completely uninterested in your opinions of what is or is not possible.

C isn't the primary language of user-space mobile development. while possible, it is inadvisable. as for its feasability, the court is in your favour (on android)! it is possible to "replace" the lockscreen. you will be leaving yourself vulnerable to attacks the actual lockscreen can prevent, but it can be done. here, this article goes into the downsides of this unrooted method, while also explaining the rooted method. Good luck! (and use java/kotlin)
