Will the map to button feature and hide the floater work on an LG G4 marshmallow, can't find the setting anywhere?

"wipe up from home key or press the search shortcut to switch to the last app. This alternative lets you get rid of the floater, if you don't like it."
[Android Apps and Games] wyt18:
can anyone help with providing the exact Intent (shell command) to be used to activate the last app shortcut?
[Android Apps and Games] 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
[Android Apps and Games] boywithabeard:
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.
[Android Apps and Games] Census Taker:
After half an hour of use, this app really does become second nature. Well done on a very simple but effective idea! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Relys:
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.

---------- Post added at 02:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 AM ----------

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.
[Android Apps and Games] aryayush:
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.
[Android Apps and Games] vulen:
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 :)
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
I will try to add a nav bar button using xposed ASAP. Thanks, for your suggestions.
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
Thanks, an option to toggle vibrate is coming in next update.
[MENTION=5243323]Relys[/MENTION] Can you tell me more about the bug. Probably a screen clipping will help.
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
Thanks, I will be trying that out soon.
[Android Apps and Games] Relys:
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) :)
[Android Apps and Games] mayankneil:
Woah! Amazing brother :) #keepUpThisGoodWork :) #SoUsefull :)
[Android Apps and Games] DirkStorck:
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! :)
[Android Apps and Games] 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.
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
Thanks, I will mind your suggestions.

[MENTION=5371994]mayankneil[/MENTION], Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
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.

New Version.

The new version of your app didn't update on Google Play Store, please upload new version :D

And I can translate Play Store Product Description for you to Vietnamese :o
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
Weird, I have already published the latest version (1.5) hours ago, may be it will take some time.

Thanks, that would be a great help.

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 :o

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.

[Android Apps and Games] jmariconda:
Awesome man :good: I'll be looking forward to the next release then. Great work so far BTW :).
[Android Apps and Games] computerinfo21:
Fantastic!

Just found this thread and went and downloaded it from the Play Store. Love it! Awesome work!

I agree with people requesting a way to call it from other apps/launchers so we can fit it into our existing flow. I use Pie Control and I'd love to be able to add it to that.

I have another feature request to consider - an app exclusion list.

Let people pick certain apps they never want to switch back to.

The reason is I hardly never use my homescreen or default launcher, takes too long to find stuff. I mostly use Quickdroid Search. I use it like most people use a homescreen, so I don't want to go back to it when switch between apps.

Keep up the awesome work!
[Android Apps and Games] megazeroxuxm:
Seems good! Damn your Vietnamese is really good, I'm jelly haha.
[Android Apps and Games] fburgos:
Nice app, great work, personally I don't like the big red overlay (las) when you rearrange the bubble, and user selectable transparency would be great.

I'll use it but I have the feeling it will replace or at least reduce the use of omniswich
[Android Apps and Games] nightfishing:
Any luck with the landscape>portrait bug?
[Android Apps and Games] 25scarface:
an option to hide the red button when in full screen app should be there.
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
Thanks [MENTION=4985809]vulen[/MENTION], I have updated the Play Store description. Can you also translate the Application strings to the same. (I have updated the first post with the Application strings).
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
Thanks for the suggestion [MENTION=5447870]computerinfo21[/MENTION]. I will consider the features in future releases.
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
The large LAS circle is actually a shortcut for LAS settings. User can drag the floater into it, if he wants to quickly toggle some LAS settings or may be temporarily switch it OFF. I will try adding an option to toggle it as well in future releases.
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
That's going to be fixed soon.
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
I will look at this feature as well in some future release.
[Android Apps and Games] Relys:
Thanks for all your hard work and support. It is so much faster to multitask. :) Let me know how I can buy you a beer man. :)

[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
Shall I make a donate version of the application ;).
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
I have added the feature request in \\TODO (Check the first post). And will work on it soon.
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
So much thanks once again!

Can you find a Turkish translator for me ;). Some Turkish users are throwing 1 star at the application. Some even sneaked into my application and somehow made a Turkish version out of it (here: http://cepteam.net/konu-inpen-last-app-switcher-v1-5-turkce-android.html).
[Android Apps and Games] mpdayii:
Works good on note 3... Excellent idea.... Thanks, what a great simple app
[Android Apps and Games] krishnaj:
bubble position overlaps with keyboard

Abhishek keep up the good work. One issue i have seen is the bubble position reset most of the time and then overlaps with the keyboard. Do you see this behavior ?
[Android Apps and Games] paarkhi:
Yes, ofcourse I'll be happy to pay for this unique (read great) app, but i request you to get it matured (you can add all your current ToDo features, specially shortcut so that it'd be easy calling it from other app).
[Android Apps and Games] mindracer:
Love it! Can you take out the red so it can be more transparent and less in the way, or make an option for it bull:)
[Android Apps and Games] fenchai:
+1 fix it. a reason I uninstalled it :)

Sent from my SM-G900H
[Android Apps and Games] fburgos:
Happens when you turn your device , no matter where you leave the bubble always return to the bottom right of the screen, iv think it's not a big I issue since it's easy to move
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
Thanks for helping, [MENTION=4315054]Bilgets[/MENTION]. XDA is a great community :).
[Android Apps and Games] Antitype:
I thought I was going to be able to cycle infinitely through all the recent apps previously used forward or backwards. Very smooth transitions though. Just been looking forward to an app that could do it.
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
.

The bug in which LAS floater resets it's position will be fixed in the next update (see \\TODO). While behavior of floater overlapping the keyboard is normal (as the description reads, "always on top of all apps"), you can just drag it off the keyboard.
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
[MENTION=3484543]paarkhi[/MENTION] Working hard to flush clean the TODO's.
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
Thanks for the suggestion [MENTION=5865022]Antitype[/MENTION], but I think, an arc view for recent applications will be a better implementation for it (see \\TODO).
[Android Apps and Games] vjndr32:
These 3 suggestion is what i would also like to be implemented.

Also there should be an option to select a few apps like video player and a few games which go full screen on which your "FlyBitch" don't actually fly.;)

Otherwise a great app and very useful. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
;) They are coming, see \\TODO (first post).
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
Get the latest version. It has got some awesome changes.
[Android Apps and Games] vjndr32:
Yes, i just saw your update on play store. Thank you. Will give you a feedback on this. :)

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 PM ----------

Ageed. It bypasses WidgetLocker.
[Android Apps and Games] Bilgets:
i got a proposal

how about assigning a "double-tap action" on the floater?

i want it to be a recent apps witcher as my home button is almost broken (only work 30% of the times lol)
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
That was a mistake :o I uploaded the attachments in midnight, and everything but my eyes and fingers were already asleep:D Fixed now.

What?
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
I was thinking about it, will try.
[Android Apps and Games] steve.rand:
Ah ok good one. =-]

Ageed. It bypasses WidgetLocker.

WidgetLocker is a lock-screen app, and LAS sits over the top of it and when I press LAS it will toggle running apps without me unlocking the phone. If you include selective exclusions (I could probably have worded that better) in the next release, anyone could turn off the floater on any apps they want, including lockscreen apps.

I gave you a Play Store rating, and mentioned that the floater moves back to the default location when changing transparency.

This morning i've noticed the floater has just moved to the left-side of my screen, then later it was at the bottom-left of my screen. It seems to be moving on its own? I use stock ROM with root on a Note II.
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
Lol, Kids will use this to bypass their dad's locked mobile. Not so long, will add the exclusion feature soon, thanks for letting me know.

The floater boy became a bad boy and wasn't listening to his dad, I have punished him and made him more disciplined :P Update the app
[Android Apps and Games] DirkStorck:
Thanks for letting the user choose the size and transparency of the bubble :)
[Android Apps and Games] steve.rand:
Rock n Roll! It seems to be staying put now! Thanks for the speedy response!
[Android Apps and Games] JimSmith94:
The latest version seems to stay in place better. It still moves sometimes, but not as bad. Another suggestion if I may, it doesn't show on my lockscreen, which is good, but it does show when my phone is docked. This is on a Sprint Note 3 with the OEM desk dock.
[Android Apps and Games] c3k:
+1 for "A shortcut, so that the features can be accessed from other applications as well."

a simple and very powerful addition!
[Android Apps and Games] PhilDX:
yup, a shortcut + option to disable on screen button would be very, very useful
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
You'r welcome.
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
:confused: Ohk, will be making a fix for that too.
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
Such an option is already there, didn't you see the "Last App Switcher is switched - ON off".
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
Guys, I am currently thinking of a feature. An activity that can replace the default search action (some devices have got the swipe up from home button and some have a dedicated key for it, both of them, I think, isn't used much) to do the switching task. The same activity can also be used for the shortcut, as everyone won't be liking the additional icon created for the shortcut. What do you think about it.
[Android Apps and Games] c3k:
I think he was talking about an additional shourtcut, best will be 3 links (or separeted activity):

- Switch to last application

- Enable LAS button

- Disable LAS button

cool, look here for a sample (navbar swipe up with icon)
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
[MENTION=3065937]PhilDX[/MENTION] Sorry, I hadn't got you correctly.

[MENTION=2024094]c3k[/MENTION] Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
Guys, I have added the feature. Now, you can perform the default search action to switch to the last app. But, the feature is still in beta:silly:.

You must Opt-in for LAS Beta updates before (see first post).
[Android Apps and Games] c3k:
can't wait (still not showing in play store)

could you please upload the beta apk too?
[Android Apps and Games] JimSmith94:
A little more related information, in case it might help. I originally placed the LAS button about an inch down from the top left corner of my screen. I noticed today that every time I dock or undock my phone, the button moves down about 1/2". I haven't noticed it moving in my hand, even after after rotating the phone and screen a full 360 degrees in 90 degree increments.
[Android Apps and Games] nightfishing:
Mine (located bottom left) , moves up ever so slightly on every screen rotation. Not as much as on earlier builds, but it does keep moving.
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
And when I saw your post, it was already there :D Enjoy
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
[MENTION=546635]JimSmith94[/MENTION]

The current coordinate calculation formula depends on the ratio of width and height. Now since, the width doesn't include the nav bar and the top status bar, while height does, the ratio varies when calculating of the Y coordinate of the floater. I think I have found a way to fix it, but it won't work on devices older than 4.2, that is why I am not applying the fix.:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] JimSmith94:
I bet you're right about the coordinate calculation. My dock mode and many games don't show the status bar. I think you could just put a disclaimer that it won't work for devices older than 4.2. I'm on 4.4.2 and a lot of devices are getting upgrades to 4.4.4 already.
[Android Apps and Games] c3k:
I think there's some kind of problem with version number

I finally saw the beta update but it fail to install ( 07-26 08:29:50.932 E/Finsky (26085): [1] InstallerImpl.requestInstall: Skipping attempt to download com.abhi.lastappswitcher version 7 over version 7 )

Which is the beta version number? None of the apk attached to OP seems to have the new features.
[Android Apps and Games] DirkStorck:
Can't you ask Android if nav bar and status bar is showing and either include it in you calculation or not?
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
I think I have found a solution here: Is there a way to determine android physical screen height in cm or inches?. But the problem will still be there for Honeycomb devices and no one uses Honeycomb these days :p
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
The version in beta is 8 and oops, I forgot to upload an apk for it here, wait I am putting it :P Until then you can get beta updates through Play Store.
[Android Apps and Games] c3k:

[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
App updated with bug fixes.
[Android Apps and Games] c3k:
Some feedback for 1.5.6 (is it the last version?):

Sometimes using the search shortcut transition is not smooth as using the floating button. It's like the system try to open an intermediate window resulting in a fast white flash.
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
I have published a fix for that, with same version name 1.56 but different version code 9. It will be available in a few hours or you can download it from the forum.
[Android Apps and Games] c3k:
Perfect now
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
No more bugs? Shall I publish it finally?
[Android Apps and Games] PhilDX:
the new last app intent you add in 1.56 beta is working fine for me, no issues so far. thanks for adding that, appreciate it. I don't actually use the on screen button so I haven't tested that.

please add a paid or donate version to the play store so we can thank you for your hard work.
[Android Apps and Games] JimSmith94:
The button still moves for me when I dock and undock my phone, and it still shows on my dock screen. Otherwise it seems stable.
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
:D
[Android Apps and Games] Abhishek verma:
I will try solving it. And the button moving thing will surely be fixed in some nearby update.
