By now, we can't interact with scenes placed on the lockscreen, because they are in overlay mode. But other applications, like Floatify for example, are able to display informations on the lockscreen, and allow the user to interact with it without unlocking the smartphone (like answer to a sms). Why is that feature not available in Tasker if it is possible in other apps?
Do those apps not use notifications for that?
I don't really understand what you mean... Do those apps use stock android notifications to interact with the user?
If that's what you mean, I don't think so, because my stock notifications don't allow me to answer directly to the notification with quick reply. Floatify allows me to do so by displaying is own floating notifications on the lockscreen, which I can answer without unlocking my phone. Would it not be possible to create simple scenes on the lockscreen with buttons that would permit to launch background tasks without unlocking the phone?
Thank you for your answer!
Yes, that's what I meant :)
Can you please show me a screenshot of what you mean? I looked up the app and it does seem to be doing it all with notifications....
On this fisrt screenshot, you can see my stock floating notification. I can't interact with it, I can't answer to the sms of see the whole message without unlocking my phone.
On the 4 other screenshots, you can see a blue Floatify notification (which is different from a stock notification). And as you can see, I can see the whole message, I can answer to it and do certain actions without unlocking my phone. And theses notifications are not my stock notifications. It means that Floatify is indeed able to add a superposition to the lockscreen on which I can interact (and that superposition isn't a stock notification, it is its own superposition, different from a stock notification).
Do you understand what I mean? ^^'
