Root825995y... Here, honestly. π
As long as you ask nicely and are appreciative. And your app doesn't suck. -
Lol I made it this far so if it sucks might as well I finish it for my portfolioπ¬π π
-
It's 2019, so theyre called "users" now. Release the app and watch the feedback come in
-
Release it in beta on the play store. Other than that tell us what it does and you might get some help here

It’s a bubble you move around the screen
(Similar to messenger’s chatheads and apples assistive touch) when you click this bubble it gives you 6 buttons 1st to block all notifications 2nd to open the camera 3rd turn on the flash 4th to look something up on the internet really quick (5th to go back)
The 6th button give you even more options like taking a screenshot Turing on the Bluetooth and going to the home screen I plan to add screen recording in the future but this is my first app that I’m actually trying to finish so I have something to show for my self. -
@arwTheDev from those options i see alot of permissions issues but if you can make the buttons customizable it's something i would use
-
@arwTheDev Generally you can't mess with global notifications, bluetooth, wifi, etc on newer phones since they require the same package signature as the rom. You may beable to do it with reflection to access private api but at that point you'll be working device specific which isn't something you should do as a single dev. Ideally you should stick with firing intents which would cover everything that is supported which would allow custom buttons really easily
-
@arwTheDev I wouldn't mind having a few quick launch buttons for apps and general intents for when I'm testing out an application
-
@PerfectAsshole lol I had the same idea that’s been sitting in my Trello list for a while now I’ll find out how to implement the next time I get time to code.
-
@arwTheDev I think the hardest part is going to be separating intents into activity, broadcast, and service calls and have the configuration activity look good with it without over complicating it where it would be friendly for nontechs
-
Would love to try a fellow android dev's creations. Add the link here.
I guess a lot of stuff would be handled by some deeper level apis like the accessibility service display over other apps api and stuff. For the actions You could first try to figure out how many possible actions are possible from a bubble click and then use broadcast observer pattern. -
-
If you would like to test the app just email me with the Emil above and I’ll send it to you.

@arwTheDev There are 2 issues i have.
1. Please tell the user why you need all the permissions you need before you start asking for them.
2. Whenever i press the + button the app crashes.
I can see the test toast btw.
Sorry for it not being in english but you can problably figure what most of it means. -
@HampusMa yeah sorry about that I plan on adding that vet very soon the app crashed because u never accepted the draw over other app permission sorry again
-
@arwTheDev I just thought of something while looking at this thread. You might want to add crashlytics to the app, preferably with an option in the settings to turn it off. It would help you debug it quicker along with getting anonymous device information.
-
hey, guys sorry for the inactivity and going dark had some issues, anyway, I fixed some bugs and I think it's ready for some testing I even implemented some of you guys' suggestions.
here's a link to test it let me know if you run into any problems.
https://docs.google.com/uc/... -
@arwTheDev when you hit the back button the main activity doesn't close. You should allow it to work without all permissions by disabling the features that require them also
-
@PerfectAsshole sorry I had to disable it because if you click back it brings you to the accept permission screen.
Okay I'll try the disable some features later thanks
