How to launch screensaver with button mapper app? #43

Closed DKertson16 closed 2 years ago

DKertson16 commented 2 years ago

I used to use aerial dream for my shield, and had remapped my netflix button on the remote to launch the aerial dream screensaver. Wondering if there is some sort of intent to broadcast or shield command I can run to start the this app in the same way.

It should still work but parts of the app have been renamed, so if you were using an Intent it'll have to be updated.

If you have the old Intent, I can figure out what the new one is?

Apologies for the picture of the screen but this is what I currently have image

No problem at all, screenshots are good!

The settings you want are...

  2. com.neilturner.aerialviews.ui.screensaver.TestActivity

Thanks, I'll probably add these methods to the docs.

Btw, for component try .Somnambulator
