Offer Quicksettings Tile for FGA to start/stop the app easily

[Mythrix]

Preparation

• [X] No one has asked for this feature before in other issues (even the closed ones)

Describe the feature

Is it possible to add shortcuts to the FGA app to start and stop the service without actually opening the app? I mean these kinds of shortcuts that usually show up as a popup in supported Android launchers: https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/views/launch/shortcuts

With that feature added, it should be possible to:

• quickly start or stop the service from the shortcut menu in supported launchers
• it might also be possible to program Tasker to for example start the FGA service automatically when starting FGO, and shutting it down after FGO is closed (this was actually what I was hoping to do)

Doesn't seem like you noticed. You can expand the notification for stopping the service, but not for starting.

I'll look into this topic.

Ah right, I did notice (and use) that feature before now that you mention it! That is a great addition and honestly mostly solves half of the issue yeah.

I forgot about it when I was writing this post since I was focused on testing the Tasker integration at that time.

Another user on Discord suggested to implement https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/views/quicksettings-tiles

Every Android device comes with default ones like WiFi, Record, Bluetooth, ... and app developers can add their own.

I can't implement shortcuts since they're designed to open specific windows in the app but you don't want FGA to be opened.

Ah, that is a great suggestion, it does sound like it's a better solution than shortcuts then yeah. Thanks for the update!
