Automagic Forum

I was wondering if it would be possible to have a trigger for closing s cover (samsung).
normally it would trigger the built in app s view. but alongside that, i want to change screen timeout for example. or other things.
Kind regards for your respons!

To my knowledge Android has no API for this and Samsung does not provide an extension to access the feature so it's probably not possible to add a trigger in Automagic.

On a rooted device you could check if the system log prints something special when the cover is closed and react to this output with trigger Command Output: logcat -c; logcat -v time *:D (check: as root).

Okay i did. Now what? Thw flow had an emergency stop. The phone is rooted by the way

Where can i find the system log?

You can test-execute the command directly in the trigger Command Output by using the button 'Test command...'.
This should print the log in a new window.

Found this on Stack Overflow:

"Search for com.samsung.cover.OPEN or com.samsung.ssrm.COVER_OPEN

In the extras, coverOpen will tell you if the cover opened or closed"

Okay but how to trigger it with automagic?

The trigger is "General Broadcast". If you copy either
"com.samsung.cover.OPEN" or "com.samsung.ssrm.COVER_OPEN" into the action field
Then use Access Intent Extras field to extract result then you should be angle to see if you have opened or closed the cover. Unfortunately, I'm on a Note 2 and don't use the S View cover so I can't test it myself. I've added a flow for testing if Spen is detached as nearest example of this that I have.

Does not seem to work either. Logcat did not seem to give me anything strangely enough. However I saw with cpu overlay that the command "com.android.SuspendWindow" was called. Can I trigger automagic to use that? "General broadcast" did not work for me..

This is the output of logcat:
