[Suggestion] Show on lock screen
It'd be nice to be able to change activities (open the app) without inputting a password on the lock screen. I understand there already is a way to do something similar with notifications, but it feels clumsy and doesn't seem to work without password entry (tested on Android 10) [1].
Here's how a similar feature is implemented in Organic maps: https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/blob/4ed22bd8d16c332bc52d3cc939b197ee7e8279d8/android/app/src/main/java/app/organicmaps/util/Utils.java#L86-L101
[1]: plus it doesn't even show up unless an activity has already been started
Hello! Thank you for the feedback. Changing activities from notification should work, I also have android 10 and use it always. Can you please share your phone model? Maybe it will help.
Hey, thank you for your response. It turns out the notification can be used from the lock screen, but only if I have Sensitive notifications on the lock screen enabled. This, however, sadly makes messages from messaging and chat apps readable without unlocking the screen. So I will have to keep the setting off.
@jarekt You could only turn on sensitive notification for specific app, in this case, you could turn it on only for Simple Time Tracker app.
plus it doesn't even show up unless an activity has already been started
Added an option to show constant notification with controls, even when there is no activity started to solve this issue. At the moment there are no plans for a different way to start / stop activities from lock screen.
