Hi all,

Anyone experience your Cordova app causing “Screen Overlay Detected” Error on Android Marshmallow? I found out this problem yesterday and it seems to be a big problem.

Anyone have any way to prevent Cordova app trigger this error? Please advice, thank you.

Regards

Any solution to this? Our app is apparently unusable on Marshmallow due to this bug.

To be true Screen Overlay is basic feature used by almost every application.
Messenger Chat Head, Inbox Messages Preview and Whatsapp Messages Popups are all example of screen overlay feature, so you cant uninstall all application to resolve Screen Overlay Detected popups on your device…
You just need to manually turn of screen overlay of all applications in your device, Follow following settings to turn off screen overlay of android application:

Settings
Application Manager
Click on Three Dots (Top right corner) & Select Draw Over Other Apps
Turn off screen overlay of all apps one by one
This must solve the issue of screen overlay in your device…
If this isn’t solving then screen overlay issue in your device or you haven’t got my answer then refer to below reference:
