exiting an app

Post by RyanB » 28 May 2013 20:10

So I'm looking to launch a particular app when I get home, triggered by connecting to my router when I pull into the garage; the app in question is Tablet Talk (https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... talk&hl=en). My quandary is as follows: I'm often listening to music or a podcast, and *really* don't want to shift the focus over to TT, but I have to do this in order to get it to initiate the connection with the tablet that's waiting for me. How would one achieve launching the app, and then returning to what the phone was doing before (regardless of what it was)?

hi, i think solution for that seems possible,

- you can try controlUI action (android >4.1 required)
- you can check this page http://automagic4android.com/forum/view ... f=5&t=1825
and try root command: input keyevent <keyevent> probably..

of course you need to check those while your other app is focused, launching that TT app, sleep for some time and then checking methods above..

Thanks. I was able to get it to work through the UI commands; they were just a little unclear at first.
