One Hand mode shortcut

[Axkings]

Hi

I want to create a shortcut for one hand mode (3x home button) so that it is an action like "back" on the navigation bar so that I can put it in my swiftly switch pro menu and access one hand mode with a single action instead of pressing the home button 3x.

Any ideas how to do that? (I just switched from iPhone to Android and am a newbie)

Regards

Hi man. I'm from Russia, firmware may differ. But I have a choice: a jesture or a 3-push of a button. I prefer jesture.

To make it work you should swype diagonally from edge of screen (down and right edge). Also, if you hold a bit longer, you can change the size of the screen (bigger / less). See "One-handed mode Galaxy s8" on YouTube

It is completely legitimate to make a shortcut button or icon to one hand mode instead of thosr cumbersome gestures.

Here is how to do it :

Simply run this terminal command from any method or script '

am startservice -n com.sec.android.easyonehand/.EasyOneHandService

This works on the galaxy s5. This rune the service to activate the one hand mode.

There is, at least according to my intense research and my logic, no way to open directly an app in pop-up mode. Indeed even Samsung doesn't have a shortcut for this, at least not at my knowledge.

But, it is possible to launch the multi window launcher and then launch an app from here in terminal with root :

am startservice com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService/.MultiWindowTrayService

This command is only for the launcher. Normally there should also be a terminal command to put the currently on-screen app in pop-up, just like the slide from corner gesture.

Yes and no, what I mean is that the app is not directly launched in pop-up because you need the extra step of opening the side launcher.
One way is as I did, to replace the home button with the side launcher (1 tap = side launcher, 2 taps = home screen) , it is possible with Nova Launcher.
What would be equally perfect is to find a way to open the app directly in pop-up with an activity on the home screen or, once the app is launched thanks to Tasker for example force the app to go in pop-up automatically. It must be possible because the side corner swipe to put the app in pop-up is simply an activity or service or some thing of some sort, but I haven't manage to find the command line.

The thing is i am on android pie so i dont have the multi window "launcher" the way i can open a app in pop-up window is either thru swiping from the edge of the screen or going into the recents apps and clicking the app icon and clicking open in pop-up mode

On this android version it is easier because there are root apps in Play store or in Xposed to manage this, isn't there? I think a saw few apps claiming to manage multiwindow for this version.
