Fingerprint Scanner uses

[vaderag]

Really liking the fingerprint scanner and it's position on the Mi A1 - much better than the one under the power button on my former Sony phone

That said, i'm wondering if there is a way to make it lock the phone as well as unlock - I like being able to use it as the swipe for notifications, but would be great to Unlock -> swipe (see notifications) -> hold for locking...

Thoughts!?

Did u even Google and try before asking? This was my first hit. https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...anner-do-almost-anything-with-tasker-0175015/

Thanks. So what happens when my banking app wants my fingerprint and I have that set up?

Should work, just don't press it to long. You should be able to set a custom delay before screen off.

So I can't make this work. Tasker seems to have two options System Lock or Lock. Lock is some kind of manual lock screen, so seems System Lock would be what I want.
However, System Lock seems to be a core level lock that then doesnt allow me to unlock with fingerprint, but needs the pattern...
Is there some other option I'm looking for here?

Screen off? Device should autolock itself seconds later.

Doesnt seem to be a screen off option, only change the display timout (min 7 seconds, so that wont work)
