russjr08 / caffeinate Goto Github PK

In LineageOS (and predecessors/forks), the Caffeine tile had a really neat feature where you could keep tapping it add time, up to 30 minutes. Once it passed 30 minutes, it would switch to infinite caffeine. Caffeinated has the former, but not the latter. This does not have to be default behaviour and can instead be a setting toggle.

I'm unfamiliar with Kotlin, but if I have some time I might toy around and see if I can get a pull request going.

Since the last update (2616a09) clicking on the tile icon disables the Caffeinate instead of extending the timer on Android 10.
The permission popup doesn't show because Android 10 doesn't have that permission at all.
The suspected reason is that on Android version <13 it is always returning permission denied for checkSelfPermission(this.applicationContext, Manifest.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS) (as the permission is marked as dangerous and popup for it doesn't exist for Android version <13).
Fix is probably checking the SDK version before running the check (stackoverflow)

App Shortcuts can be implemented to allow a user to start caffeination from their home screen / launcher. Most launchers allow you to make "shortcuts out of shortcuts", which is even better.

Could utilize user's already set preference, and also have a few pre-defined options as well.
