[APP][ONEUI4] Flashlight as keycombo

[3arthur6]

​

FlashlightAccessibilityService​

I provide here this basic app to toggle flashlight from vol up + vol down and/or power + vol up.
It uses a new feature introduced with Android 12 to toggle accessibility services from these key combos.

• How to use:

Install the app.
Go to Settings app, then Accessibility, and Advanced settings.
Select your key combo, then go down and select Activate flashlight.
Enjoy!

• Requirements:

Since it is an Android 12 exclusive feature, this will only work on One UI 4.

To get a proper cohesion between this app and the quick setting flashlight tile.
You should consider, but it is not mandatory, to give WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission to this app.
Here it is only used to read secure settings but we need the permission as well.
To do that, two choices:

Using ADB :​

adb shell pm grant com.android.flashlightaccessibilityservice android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS​

Using terminal app (as Termux) :​

pm grant com.android.flashlightaccessibilityservice android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS​

• Changelog:

v1: Initial release
v1.1 : Drastic size reduction (removed unneeded dependencies + build optimisation)
v1.2 : Proper handling between the key combination and the quick setting torch tile

Thanks,
I have used this on my S22 with Android 13 and it worked even with screen off. But now I upgraded to Android 14 and it no longer works with screen off - There was some special setting to achieve that, but I can't remember where... Can you help me?
