So I am making a small alert app that fires an alarm whenever phone is shaking. Is there anyway to let the app run even when you close the app or the phone is off? Thank you
Try the itoo extension for this
Guidelines for using Itoo
- First get your background functionality running in the foreground. Like this, you can find errors much easier. And as soon as you got it working in the foreground, then test it in the background.
- Read the complete Itoo to leaarn how Itoo works and try the example projects, See also the battery checker tutorial and notification listener and itoo tutorial .
- Do not use global variables while in the background, use local variables instead
- Do not use any user-visible or UI components in the background
- In the background, use the Itoo StoreProperty/FetchProperty methods rather than TinyDB. TinyDB relies on SharedPreferences which will not ensure data synchronization across background processes.

Playing mp3 files seems impossible I don't know what to do
It would really help if you provided a screenshot of your relevant blocks, so we can see what you are trying to do, and where the problem may be.
To get an image of your blocks, right click in the Blocks Editor and select "Download Blocks as Image". You might want to use an image editor to crop etc. if required. Then post it here in the community.
