[APP][3.0+] LAS: Last App Switcher.

[BruKnowsBest]

I had my doubts if this app was gonna be useful to me but i decided to give it a try and BOY WAS I SURPRISED

this is actually pretty cool and the switch is very quick .... very cool add-on to the phone

Good Start

There is an Xposed module Stop Switch Delay That removes the home button press delay. Maybe you can learn from GermainZ's code and make this into a module(so much more can be done with Xposed!). I like the Idea, just not a fan of the implemention of an on screen placeholder. Nav Ring shortcut sounds like the best Idea, unobtrusive but easy to access. Maybe a "shake" for switch implementation? The average Android user might prefer the visible icon, experienced users will appreciate a choice and lotsa options. Good on you for making the app and the portal, and good luck.

After half an hour of use, this app really does become second nature. Well done on a very simple but effective idea! :good:

Thanks. I've wanted this for awhile.

* Please fix aspect ratio bug when switching from portrait->landscape->portrait.

* Please make option to lock the button in place.

Oh another cool feature.

* Add user setting to switch between last n apps using a linked list which circles back to end index when it reaches the first. Each button press decrements index by one.

That would allow people to double tap the button to switch to the n-2 app, triple tap to the n-3 app... etc.

Basically allow people to switch between n many apps by adding a field in settings.

Those asking for an Xposed module: it isn't required. Once he adds the shortcut for it, you can use any of the many Xposed modules that already allow you to customise the Navigation Bar and Ring.

Vibrate on touch.

Your app is very cool
But can you have a option to disable the vibrate when touch the icon. On some device such as my Xperia M2, the vibrate is to strong so is very anoying when touch to switch app

 

[Abhishek verma]

Is there any chance to create an exposed-module version of this app? I would pay for it @ playstore...
Thanks for the great work.

Yup a xposed module in nav bar would be great

Tap-a-talked from the MOTOG

I will try to add a nav bar button using xposed ASAP. Thanks, for your suggestions.

Thanks, an option to toggle vibrate is coming in next update.
@Relys Can you tell me more about the bug. Probably a screen clipping will help.

Thanks, I will be trying that out soon.

When switching phone display from portrait->landscape-> portrait the button moves. You should be using a ratio of (height from top of screen to button)/(height from button to bottom of screen) in your translation function to preserve the same ratio when switching back and forth. You're essentially swapping height with width and need to keep same ratio or this will happen:

I would submit a pull request, but it doesn't look like you provided the source. Anyways, great app. I've thought of this before, but couldn't find anything that existed. I will be using this for a long time.

I just saw your response to a review regarding history:

Rajesh Narayanan: "Nice The app makes transition two apps look snappy. It would be nice to look back into my app history and probably snap across 3 or 4. Also vibration should be optional. The app UI looks nice"

InPen: "Your reviews were helpful, Rajesh. A vibration toggle option will be added in very next update. And I will also implement multiple level switches in near future."

You should have this as a field in the settings with the default set to 1 (which is the current functionality)

Relly nice app. I have just installed it
I have a few suggestions
* Let the bubble less visible like the bubble of S5 toolbox.
* Let the bubble be moved to the area of the notification bar

Thank you!

 

[jmariconda]

I don't know if you would actually be able to do this, but it doesn't seem like anyone else has brought it up here as an idea. Would it be possible to activate the switch whenever you do a full swipe from the left edge to the right edge or vice-versa (kind of like the gesture to get back to the home screen on Ubuntu Touch)? I feel like this would be the quickest, least obtrusive way to implement the switch.

This, exact thing! You read mind! I am currently working on it and simultaneously several other features. The swipe feature will be live soon. Thanks.

Play Store Product Description in Vietnamese.

This is my translation for your app's Play Store Product Description in Vietnamese. You can use it for your app
Play Store Product Description in Vietnamese:

Tương tự như nút Last channel trên điều khiển từ xa của TV, bạn có thể chuyển đổi qua lại giữa kênh đang xem và kênh trước đó. Giờ đây bạn có thể làm điều tương tự trên điện thoại hay máy tính bảng của bạn, bạn có thể chuyển đổi giữa ứng dụng hiện thời và ứng dụng trước đó chỉ bằng 1 cú chạm nhẹ.

Thử tưởng tượng rằng bạn đang duyệt web và nhắn tìn ***g một lúc. Theo cách bình thường, khi có tin nhắn đến bạn phải thu nhỏ trình duyện web, mở ứng dụng tin nhắn lên và trả lời tin nhắn. Sau khi trả lời tin nhắn bạn lại phải bấm phím điều hướng Recent app, tìm ứng dụng duyệt web trong số những ứng dụng đang chạy, nhấn vào nó để tiếp tục duyệt web. Huh! Bỗng nhiên một tin nhắn khác đến bạn lại lặp lại quy trình phía trên! Thật bất tiện!

Giờ đây với LAS (Last App Switcher) bạn chỉ cần chạm nhẹ để chuyển từ ứng dụng duyệt web sang tin nhắn rồi chạm nhẹ để chuyển từ tin nhắn sang duyệt web. Bạn thử hình dung nó dễ dàng và thuận tiện đến thế nào, bạn tiết kiệm được vô số thời gian và cảm thấy thoải mái hơn rất nhiều.

Tính năng nổi bật:
- Biểu tượng nổi trên tất cả các ứng dụng của bạn.
- Chuyển đổi giữa 2 ứng dụng chỉ với một cú chạm.
- Hiệu ứng chuyển đổi linh hoạt, mượt mà, tiết kiệm thời gian.
- Biểu tượng nổi trong suốt không gây khó chịu khi sử dụng.
- Chiếm tài nguyên hệ thống cực kỳ ít.
- Hoàn toàn miễn phí, không quảng cáo hoặc trừ phí ngầm.
