[APP] Fingerprint Quick Action -- Let your fingerprint sensor more useful

[APP][6.0+] Fingerprint Quick Action -- Let your fingerprint sensor more useful

Perform quick actions via tap/swipe on fingerprint sensor.

Demo video by Ayoub mellouk(App version 0.4.0) (Original post)


At the beginning, I just want to develop a simple app to sleep my device via tap fingerprint sensor. But for more users to be convenient, I decide to add more features.

Google Pixel has a feature that expand/collapse notification panel via swipe fingerprint sensor, However detect swipe on fingerprint sensor requires hardware support, so I thought of an alternative to clicking/swiping on the Fingerprint Sensor to toggle notification panel.

Fingerprint Quick Action use Accessibility to detect interface switching and perform some quick actions, so you need to turn on the application's accessibility features so that it can work properly.

Fingerprint Quick Action use DevicePolicyManager API to sleep your device by default, however, in many ROMs, it will result in Smart Lock andfingerprint to unlock doesn't work, by my test, it is only works properly on MIUI ROMs. So the app provide another way to sleep your device, that is simulating a power button press, this method requires Root Access.

When other apps using the fingerprint sensor, Fingerprint to Unlock will be temporarily disabled until you switch to another interface.

TODO

• Add More Quick Actions
• Double Tap Action
• Per Fingerprint Action
• Xposed Implementation (Done)

Identifying the direction of the slide and long press events requires hardware support that can not be done with the application alone.
