Hi, yes my phone has the accelerometerSensor and the toarch permissions.Idk how to do...

Go to app settings, permissions, turn that on.

Leonardo_Bellon · September 23, 2021, 12:42pm

It doesn't work the same

What is your device name and send me the AIA.

Kumaraswamy · September 24, 2021, 3:59am

This seems to be a bug, i am looking at it.

Kumaraswamy · September 24, 2021, 5:00am

After debugging, I was able to solve the problem, managing components in the background is the big headache for the extension.

Everything was fine, but there was NullPointerException when the AccelerometerSensor was trying to get the device orientation for some reason.

I have fixed the Bug for version 4.0 (not yet released)

Make sure to turn on the camera permission manually or ask it using the Screen.AskPermissionName block.

Another question ...
how do i get the value of this block with the Background extension? component_set_get

Leonardo_Bellon · September 25, 2021, 9:34pm

Any ideas?

Kumaraswamy · September 26, 2021, 3:45am

You will have to make a function and call it through the extension, there are very few examples of how to do it.

Hello,
With this program I want to open an app with activity starter but doesn't work,

Can you help me? please
Thanks

I also added the info to the activity starter (uri...)

And another question, at the end (with the new updates...) is it possible to play audio in the background or in foreground?
Thank you very much

Hi you cannot use any activity starter to open the app from the background since the android dosent allow you to do it directly.

KrAfLo · October 11, 2021, 1:07pm

Hello again,
please give me some examples how to make my app to auto run in background, to wait(work) around 60 sec. and then self closing?
Thanks in advance.
Regards

There is a way to open an app from the background?

Taifun · October 11, 2021, 5:54pm

can you elaborate? are you trying to autostart an app at a given time?
if yes, see the [PAID] ⏰ Alarm Manager Extension with Notification or Autostart

I would like to be able to connect a mobile sensor with the start of an app, for example, when I shake the mobile phone to open the camera app or a specific app.

thanks

That's an interesting idea... you might want to check, if tasker is able to do it...
