[PIE] Swipe between Apps in custom roms like default ZUI

[craftandbuild]

An Android app to mimic the stock ZUI swipe left/right (navigate in app history) behaviour for Custom ROMs with android PIE.
This fork of the original app by in.abhi9 fixes the app on the Z2 Pro with android PIE.

How to Use

1. Flash the RecentSwipo_PIE_2.0.zip attached to this post (this installs it as a system app)
2. Open settings and set swipe actions to application -> activity -> Recent Swipo -> in.abhi9.recentswipo.SwipeLeftActivity/SwipeRightActivity accordingly.

For AEX 6.2 and in case these options are missing for you (like left swipe on aex) you can do the following:

1. Use a root explorer like fx explorer, to manually add the lines "key 249 MENU" (right swipe) and "key 254 SEARCH" (left swipe) to /vendor/usr/keylayout/fpc1020tp.kl, if a line for the number does not already exist. I also attached my file for reference. You can also use different actions, if you want.
2. Then download a key remapping app from the playstore and map these keys to the swipe left and swipe right activity. I use the app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.irishin.buttonsremapper, because it can automatically detect the pressed button and allows two remaps in the free version.
3. Reboot the phone and Enjoy.

This works well with the following other actions:

Tap home: Back
Tap home long: recents menu
Press home: home
Press home long: close app / menu / ...​

An easy way to set left and right swipes between apps is flashing your app, then go to /vendor/usr/keylayout/ and edit the file fpc1020tp.kl I use ES file explorer.
(*Or just replace the one I attached*)

key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
key 249 APP_SWITCH
key 183 HOME VIRTUAL
key 254 APP_SWITCH

Reboot and go to phone settings, extensions, system, buttons and set buttons:

Tap
Longpress action:
Select application- activities- recent swipe - in.abhi9.recentswipo.SwipeRightActivity

Right swipe
Single tap action:
Select application - activities- recent swipe - in.abhi9.recentswipo.SwipeLeftActivity

I my friend, I'm on aex 6.2 and your software work very well with button mapper app.
Can be setup every action!!!!
The only thing that can be improved is this: when you swipe after long time it doesn't work and you have a toast message that say"service is started....".
After this all start to work very well. Have a nice day

AEX 6.3 won't show “activity Recent Swipo > in.abhi9.recentswipo.SwipeLeftActivity/SwipeRightActivity” in extensions->System->Buttons
Am I getting something wrong?
Thx for developing such a great application! Hope I can get it work on my phone. ( sry for my poor English )

First of all thanks a lot to dev.

It is working flawlessly on pie ROM.

Several times I went back to stock zui because of this swipe between apps, but now I am very happy no need to go back to zui.

In the popup you have to select "Select App" and then "Activity" (should be the second item). The list that opens should have the "RecentSwipo" App.

   Thanks dev , Great app and finally I have my u-touch action back!
   
   I am using AEX v6.3 Android 9 on ZUK Z2(plus). There is only swipe right in settings, works fine though your app.
   It is a little tricky though cuz the remapping app you mentioned can‘t use swipe right/swipe left action.
   But there is always a way.
   
   1. I used your app,
   2. change the fpc1020tp.kl file.
   3. I used another app Download: this is a Chinese version of button remapping App,
   git:https://github.com/hfutxqd/ClickClick
   
   • use "Function" at middle bottom
   • -> pressing "+"on top right
   • ->"Luanch a application"
   • ->find Recent Swipo
   • ->change "Function Code" "

     in.abhi9.recentswipo.MainActivity

     " into "

      in.abhi9.recentswipo.SwipeRightActivity

     "or "

     in.abhi9.recentswipo.SwipeLeftActivity

     " .You can also change function name and introduction if you like.
   • ->"Add"(you can hit Run it to test)Then you can see your new function shows in the list.
   • ->"Profile"
   • ->"+"
   • ->"Add regular button mapping"
   • ->swipe left/right
   • ->choose the action you want

Hi, thanks for making this really cool mod. I just wanted to ask whether it was possible to keep the service active in the background. When I want to swipe it runs the service and I have to swipe twice then. Thanks in advance!

Hello,
Recently tried to flash this app via TWRP, but ended up with the never-ending AEX loading screen after the phone rebooted.
Tried it several times, cleaned dalvik and cache, but it hasn't helped., I am just not able this from TWRP level.
Do you know any other ways to make the left and right swipe working again?
It's the only thing that annoys me while using the newest AEX right now.

Best regards

Extract the apk file and directory from zip and copy to /system/priv-app.
Check permission and reboot.
Thats'all.....

Exactly, this is all the zip does. I don't know, what the cause for not booting could be. It works on the newest aex for me. When aex with android 10 is released I'll probably try to make it stay active in the background
