I'm testing my app on a Nexus 7 and a Samsung Galaxy S4, and I'm going to test the behaviour on a Galaxy S2. I installed AVG AntiVirus (free version) from the Play Store - tablet version(Nexus 7) and the mobile version on the S4.
On my S4 AVG tells me that my app is detected as malware - but on the tablet it is detected as 'safe'. After some research, I found this XML Parser triggers AV Alert SO thread. I use an AsyncTask to connect to a device via Bluetooth - showing a Snackbar as long as it is searching for new devices. I use the permissions for BLUETOOTH and BLUETOOTH_ADMIN.
To verify and test this issue with AVG mobile, I downloaded BluetoothChat from the sample in Android Studio and installed it on my S4 - with the same result, it is detected as Malware. So it seems to be a problem of AVG mobile AntiVirus or because I installed it from Android studio? When I click on 'info' it opens a avgthreatlabs.com site on the browser, which tells me there is active adware in the package 'com.example.android.bluetoothchat', same happens with my app. I use no ads.
Does someone know a workaround, or what went wrong? I don't want my app users to be confused by this issue.
I haven't found a appropiate communication or feedback link on the AVG website. Should I simply contact the Technical Support?
edit: I found the "report false detection" on the AVG website, I'm reporting the BluetoothChat example for now. :)
Sorry for my writing mistakes, or if the question is not appropiate for stackoverflow.
The problem was solved after I updated the AVG App on my phone, so apparently it was an issue from their side.
