What's this

Why started

Tested
Now, just tested on the PA 4.4.2 and list below, but this should work on any AOSP based 4.1 - 4.4 ROM , if this module worked for you, please let me know, if not, see anything i can help:laugh:
Nexus 4 With PA 4.4.2
Xperia Z1 With stock 4.3 @timberwolf60
Galaxy S4 With stock 4.3 @steelew
Nexus 7 With stock 4.3 @Domino5
...

Warning

oh~ it's~ yeah, this will not show the menu on the Chrome task, 'cause it's package name starts with 'com.android', not 'com.google', and this is often the android stock app, i will find a better way to fix it.

Great app, it will be very useful.
May i suggest you to add an option that allow to hyde the icon from the launcher?

Tested
Now, just tested on the PA 4.4.2, but this should work on any AOSP based 4.4 ROM (4.0 - 4.3 maybe, not confirmed), if this module worked for you, please let me know, if not, see anything i can help:laugh:
Nexus 4 With PA 4.4.2
I don't know if you want this information but i have a Galaxy Nexus with PA 4.0 BETA6 and the app works well.

I want to translate it in Italian, do you have to do a "cleanup" or i can start?

I've been looking for something like this for ages, thank you! I'm the "app guy" at the office and I'm constantly giving out advice on apps, so having this and transferring via NFC is going to make it really easy to me.

Slightly offtopic (sorry in advance): How do I get those extra navbar buttons? I wanna tinker with that. Thanks again.

Works perfect on I-9505 (International S4 LTE) with 4.3...
thx, will you please tell me something about your ROM, samsung stock touchwiz rom or AOSP ? that will be useful for other users.

Can you please make one, just like this one but to FORCE STOP the app?? Would also be nice if the options showed when long press a notification too.
well~ i think that long press recent task and notification will let you to go to app info screen, at there, you will be able to Force Stop that app, just one more click won't be boring. so, sorry buddy. :)

Great app, it will be very useful.

thx, hide icon from the launcher? good idea, working on it. happy to know it's working on your phone, and you are very kind to helping me, 'cleanup' maybe not, you can feel free to translate my poor english into your language.:laugh:

Please add a double tap function to go to playstore once a task is double tapped.
wow~ this is something, thank you for this wonderful idea, will add it to the to-do list.

    works great on my One X, not so much on my nexus 7 though.. :(


    I'm using PAC ROM which has the omniswitch feature for recent apps, which I'm assuming is the cause of the recent apps options for this module to not work..

    would it be possible to add these options into the long press of apps on your home screen? (I'll attach screenshot when I get on my laptop)
    Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
    hum, could be, any other inject-popup-menu stuff will make it unusable. home screen? since i didn't use now launcher too much, i might say wouldn't do it, and one launcher, one work, it will be a long time work, can't handle it.

    I don't want to bother you again but I would like to know if you're working on an update. I would be very happy to finally use your app. =)
    sorry, i need some logs and a apk to get to fix it, see posts a page before.:cowboy:

    Interferes with option to long click "open in halo" love this app would be nice to have them working together. Option disappears altogether.

    In other words try using these two apps at once utilizing the recent menu options on both. Thank you kindly
    Sam
    thx, yeah, will do, may be include in next version.

    Now it can be installed/updated via Xposed Framework app :)

    Sent from my tablet. Odoslané z môjho tabletu.
    yea, the xposed repository web worked aggain, and i uploaded it.:laugh:

    The app doesn't really work on my Galaxy Note 2 4.1.2 (more details are in my signature).
    After enabling and rebooting my phone I tried to go to the recent app page and the only thing that works now is that the three options shows up when I long press a task (remove from list/app info/view in play).
    Double pressing an app or selecting 'app info'/'view in play' does nothing and I can't get even to the app info screen.
    I've tried with disabling 'directly view in Google Play' and rebooted my phone but it didn't fix my problem.
    Can you please fix this?
    If you need any more details I would like to provide it.
    Have a nice day!
    thx, i will take look at it again, since last time, i didn't found anything useful, your are very kind, if i need any information, i will let you know. happy day.

    On cm10 (xperia tipo) the recent apps shows extra option but then does nothing.
    2 finger isn't working.
    Else nice idea :)
    yeah, thx, i will take a time and try to finger that out why my little work is not working on 4.1 or 4.2, but it will be a while since i don't have any device running with 4.1 or 4.2, i left it at my hometown, now i realize how stupid decision that was.:p

    Two-Finger-Tap go to Play Store works only if i enable viewplay in recent ..

    oh, confirm it, thank you, my friend, will release a version very soon. you are awesome!

    Maybe the mod is called ViewInPlay, not force stop, view in play and some other crap

    That is exactly why i SUGGESTED the creation of another mod, similar to this one, but with a different functionality. The code should be very similar.
    Why are you even bothering to answer something not directed to you?
