Alternative triggering method?
Excuse me, this is the third issue I've been opening today but I've had many ideas about your app. I would be very grateful to you if you would add a double swipe as an alternative triggering method, and if possible, then with the addition of adjustable time interval between one swipe and another. If I'm not clear enough feel free to ask anything, if I seem rude that 's just a misunderstanding.
Is there a special use case for this? Does the direct triggering cause any problems for you?
Since I've a tempered glass screen protector and a bumper it is a bit hard and uncomfortable to trigger PaperLaunch by simply touching my screen protector edge because I've to touch in the middle of them which is an extremely narrow space for my fingertip(here's a photo https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RSRpRqWtAj6B61Ke06lf5fo_s72yQNhN/view?usp=sharing). Making the triggering zone wider/Increasing the activation sensitivity wouldn't be a solution because it would make it too much probable to trigger PapperLaunch even when I don't need it.I think the best solution would be to add triggering methods like double or even triple swipe.
Ok, I understand the problem. I will have a look at potential solutions. The problem is that (due to security reasons) when PaperLaunch's overlay view received a touch event this touch event can't be passed to a window that is underneath. This means that I can't implement a gesture and have windows underneath receiving the touch events as long as PaperLaunch doesn't want to trigger. The activation area defines the area where touch events will be passed to PaperLaunch instead of the e.g. App that is in the foreground. This decision is made on a System level and can't be influenced (besides reducing the activation area size)
Maybe in order to deal with the security problems about the management of touch event pass you should check this project https://github.com/ResurrectionRemix/android_packages_apps_OmniSwitch out because it already has the double swipe implemented and it is installed in /system/priv-app,maybe this last info could make it easier for you to solve the problem I created
BTW if it is on your To-Do List it's far more than ok for me and I won't ask anything about this topic updates. The important thing for me is that you don't forget it after all.
I will investigate what steps are needed to support this. Afterwards I can decide whether this is something that gets added. As long as this Issue is not closed consider it on my list
