Any "trick" to use some keys to launch an application?
- by Profete162
Hello,
I am currently developing an free application (TaskOS ) that allow users to have multitasking and switch easily between applications on their mobile ( like alt+tab in Windows )
That work pretty well and user can launch my application by a long press on the "search" button" by adding this line in the manifest:
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH_LONG_PRESS" />
I also succeed to allow to the users to Use the camera button ( they can of course disable that in application settings) and the way to do that is slighlty different:
<receiver android:name=".CameraPressed">
<intent-filter android:priority="10000">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.CAMERA_BUTTON"/>
</intent-filter>
I am now wondering if there are other ways to launch easily my task switcher?
( long press on Home key, long press on trackball, or any other idea.)
Reading the Google documentation does not help me a lot.
Any other idea/suggestion would be warmly welcome.
Christophe
