Auto Boot Reminder #39

Open QuarTheDev opened 9 months ago

QuarTheDev commented 9 months ago

I have a quick idea for a new Alibi feature:

Upon device boot, a notification will appear reminding the user that Alibi's recording has been interrupted, and offering a quick direct button to begin/resume recording.

Here is my idea implemented using MacroDroid - my work is a little sloppy, but hopefully it gets the idea across.

I'd also love if there were toggles in the settings to switch between three modes:

No Reminder - Does not prompt the user to restart Alibi (the current behavior). Reminder - Reminds the user via push notification that Alibi has been interrupted. Automatic - Automatically restarted Alibi's recording upon boot, eliminating the need for any input.

Due to Android restrictions, this is not possible; But we can show a notification.

but to be honest, only showing a notification doesn't really benefit in my opinion. The user should already be aware that they are recording, since a notification is displayed normally

Nevermind, just found out it is actually possible!

There seems to be a bug in a current library, I'll wait until it is fixed
