Tap screen as trigger/condition

Post by sambarlick » 27 Jul 2014 14:20

Hi,

Is it possible to set tapping of the screen as a trigger/condition?

Thanks, Sam

Hi,

You could try to use trigger Shake but I doubt that it's sensitive enough to detect taps.

Regards,
Martin

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your reply.

I'm using shake at the moment but it seems very sensitive. And slight jerky movement turns the display off.

The phone i have allows me to double tap the screen to wake.

I was thinking perhaps they'd be a way to use that feature and turn it on when the screen is on.

Thanks again Martin.

Sam

Hi,

Double-tap to wake phone is not available on standard Android to my knowledge so I doubt that there's an official way to intercept this event. I add it to the todo-list to check if it's feasible to implement such a feature in Automagic itself, but it would most likely use quite a bit of battery when activated since it has to constantly read the sensor data in the background.

Regards,
Martin
