Get attention from a ‚sleeping‘ phone

Hi, dear specialists.

I have a special question again:

Is there a way to wake up a phone by voice? I mean: If the screen is black and my App is running, I want to shout a special command (like: „call my wife“) and the phone ‚wakes‘ up and does, what I shouted?

This would be great and extremely helpful if you don‘t have hands free.

Would be very nice, if someone has an idea.

Fortunately, this isn't possible, as Google doesn't allow microphone activation when the display is off or in Doze mode (at least not officially :wink:).

Thank You, Anke. l know, what you mean.

What do you think: If I start the App and go for a walk (an hour or so). The App listens permanently and if it „hears“ a special word (like EMERGENCY) it sends an email to someone.

You will need to set your app to Keep Awake, there are clock timer methods or extensions available that can do this. Bear in mind, this will eat up your battery, 6 - 10 % per hour.

Try this:

In my case (test app), the brightness is minimized after 10 seconds (Button1). After clicking Button2, the brightness is reset to the initial value. This helps conserve battery power.

Thank you very much TIMAI

Thank You very much Anke. (Did I already tell you, that I love you?)

My problem, Anke: I don‘t know, how to load this extension on my IPAD. Can you help me? Thanx

Extensions cannot be used for iOS.

Hi, Anke. Problem solved.

What means WritePermissionGrant ? I ask myself

This block returns true, if the permission is granted (else false).

Thanx

There are plenty of apps on the Play Market that record both video and audio in the background when the phone is locked.
