Thanks for this app. As I have been using NFC Retag it takes some time to work out what to do using Aauuto.
1) First impression was why only landscape mode? I appreciate it is necessary to have landscape but there are cases with a long list when portrait should be an option. I prefer to be able to use both.
2) Major frustration is that widget cannot be put into a folder.
3) Not sure why there are two threads? This and http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/app-aauuto-automation-app-t2994977
I am using Note 4 SM-910F.
Keep up the good work. I guess we are all getting back into things after the break.

Hi Tom,
many thanks for the feedback !
Yep, Aauuto has a completely different UI concept than ReTag .... as longterm ReTag user, this could take some time ... but compared to other automation apps this should be very easy to handle
1) Hmmm, nobody seems to like the landscape mode except me ....yes, in portrait mode you will have some additional screen space for the activity list etc. but for the main UI you will get less screen space for events and activities (unless I implement some nested scrolling views (-> usually a horrible UI from my point of view )) .... However, Aauuto is in Beta, because I want to try things out and incorporate user feedback, so I will probably incorporate portrait within the next update ... then we can all have a look and decide if it makes sense or not
2) Arrgh , I´m doing Android development for years and using it even longer, but I wasn´t aware that you can put widgets into folders .... ....I like the resizeable widgets, but obviously you can´t put them into folders ... so I think I have to provide an additional non-resizeable widget ....
3) I want as much feedback as possible and this "Apps and Games" forum seems much to overcrowded for that ....
Promising app, I just hated the obligatory landscape mode, is awkward.
For portrait mode just use the exposed "app settings" module... And now you have portrait view.
Update: Portrait mode doesn't work well ...lol
How about adding time and GPS events! ie ... Phone to silent at certain locations. Or dim screen brightness at 9pm etc

Okay I got it , portrait will be available in the next update ....I just have to re-enable it and do some minor tweaking .... prototype screenshot below ...
Time event is already available ... it´s called Time and it´s the first event ... GPS Geofence is on my todo list, but it depends on Google Services and the Google part wasn´t reliable in the past .... i want to have everything else stable before struggling with the Google servers ...
Thx for the feedback!
Okay... Portrait layout is much better.
I would make the Scheme On/Off button more apparent.. I finally figured it out but easy to miss at first.
Also... I would prefer the Schemes Overview to be its own screen (not a pop-up).. that should be the screen it starts in as well.
One more request.. make long pressing Scheme name "edit" possible (I know you can edit from Scheme Overview pop-up.. but most will try to long press to edit).
Might help to have one basic Scheme built to help folks figure out the basic layout (like a low battery scheme).
Thanks in advance.

I disabled the ON /OFF label because it looked weird ... but yes, I should mention it somewhere ...a help function or a walk through or something like that ...
Also... I would prefer the Schemes Overview to be its own screen (not a pop-up).. that should be the screen it starts in as well.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Probably no, mainly due to two reasons:
- The Overview is a quick way to switch schemes or to change some scheme settings like name or order .... I think it doesn´t contain enough content for an extra screen
- beside that the scheme screen do some heavy background loading (schemes, events, conditions, activities ) from the internal database... having an extra screen will start this loading again, so a pop up makes much more sense from a performance point of view
One more request.. make long pressing Scheme name "edit" possible (I know you can edit from Scheme Overview pop-up.. but most will try to long press to edit).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Already implemented that with an earlier prototype ....in fact, I had the same context menu enabled as in the Overview ... didn´t like it ... I think it´s much more convenient within the Overview, and beside that how often do users change a scheme name ...but it´s up to the users, if a majority wants this, I can re-enable it ....
Might help to have one basic Scheme built to help folks figure out the basic layout (like a low battery scheme).

1 Thanks for portrait mode.
2 Looking forward to widget that I can add to a folder.
3 I like the ability to move items up and down but it is tedious for more than a few positions. Can you implement a way to move to a particular position or drag & drop?
4 Note that my "event" is blank as my "activity" is triggered by click of widget.
5 Can you allow resizing of Event / Activity windows so I can see more Activity and minimize Event?
6 My Activity is a list of Start App - all related to News e.g. News Digest, News Republic etc. The idea is, I click on widget, then each app is launched and, after a few seconds I can read each News app, pressing back key to close and automatically display next one in my list until I know I have checked all my news sources.
7 Bug is that the Apps do not all launch or do not display in same order as I listed in your app.
Can this be fixed?
Cheers

Thanks to android, this is a lot of effort for such a simple task ... it´s on my todo list, but in a low position ..

5 Can you allow resizing of Event / Activity windows so I can see more Activity and minimize Event?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think i have to keep space for at least one event ....you would gain additional space for one more activity in portrait than in landscape on a nexus 5 (note 4 maybe 2) ... so one more activity for a niche use case vs. a fidgety UI and addititonal permanent size calculations within the UI .... I don´t think that makes sense
6 My Activity is a list of Start App - all related to News e.g. News Digest, News Republic etc. The idea is, I click on widget, then each app is launched and, after a few seconds I can read each News app, pressing back key to close and automatically display next one in my list until I know I have checked all my news sources.

Nothing to fix ... Aauuto fires the activities always in the correct order ... then the android multitasking kicks in......Aauuto is really fast, so it fires the activities within a couple of milliseconds ....one of your news apps may need a little bit more time to launch than other apps (or maybe is already in cache), so for Android the order could be a little bit different ....However, if you slow down the activities a bit by adding a "WAIT" Activity (--> Misc, 1 second should be enough) between the "Start App" activities, Android should have the same order cached :good:
wait Activity

Thanks that seems to make it work better although I think some apps may need 2 seconds. Can I suggest you set the default wait to be 1 sec? I doubt anyone would actually want to wait "0" sec ...

Hmm ,
not much feedback so far, everything seems stable ... a few small issues and only 2 error reports ... I think, I could release the 1.0 version end of January .... so, please report your issues and feature requests till the end of next week and I could probably implement/ solve them for the official (non-beta) 1.0 release ....
btw. nobody so far mentioned the colors .... I like them, but I expected some uproar ....so, last chance before 1.0 ;-P

Colours are fine.Need more volume controls. Has Alarm, Music & Ringer Volume. Missing Notifications, System and Bluetooth.
When I change a setting (e.g. delay) it should show what I had set - currently deletes and creates new.
Volume should show numbers on the sliding scale please.
It is a competitive market against Tasker, Macrodroid and your own NFC Retag. Good luck.

Yep, standard android has Alarm, Music and Ringer volume. The other volumes were skipped in Android 4.0 ICS, if I remember it right ....A lot of manufacturers re-enable these volumes ... so it´s basically a manufacturer/ rom specific feature ... easy to implement, but works only on some devices .... However, I think I will implement some device/ manufacturer specific features eventually... not all devices and not all manufacturers, but the most popular ones and this volume settings thing surely will be one of the first device specific features.
When I change a setting (e.g. delay) it should show what I had set - currently deletes and creates new.

I do it like your proposal in ReTag ....it´s easier, if you only change a parameter, but feels a little bit awkward to change an activity .... so, I tried something new for Aauuto ... to be honest, currently I don´t know what I like better ....I will think about it ... additional feedback welcome
Volume should show numbers on the sliding scale please.

Hmm, android volume settings doesn´t show numbers, too .... so I don´t know what you want with these numbers ....but sure, I can have a look at it ....
It is a competitive market against Tasker, Macrodroid and your own NFC Retag. Good luck.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks!
Yep, it´s a competitive market, but NFC ReTag is more focused on non-writeable NFC tags and other NFC stuff and was never designed as a full-blown automation app ... so I started again from scratch ... I could have renamed ReTag and updated it with a completely new app/code/database etc. to keep the downloads and users, but I would have had to skip a lot of features because of a different focus ... so I will keep NFC ReTag focused on NFC stuff and Aauuto for a more general automation approach (with additional triggers, events etc. --> although the NFC event in Aauuto should be even easier to handle with writeable tags than in ReTag )
Sure, Tasker is the benchmark. in functionality and complexity ...... I like Tasker, but I discussed it a lot with users and a lot of them (even some tech-savvy users) could not handle Tasker .....
And yes, a bunch of other automation apps are also available ... The main difference is the no background service restriction in Aauuto .... let me explain it on a popular example:
A lot of users want some battery saver feature like "when battery is < 20% disable XYZ" ... you can do this with a lot of apps (and it´s easy to implement), but from my point of view it doesn´t make sense at all .... Android doesn´t provides a standard battery level broadcast (except Battery LOW and OK ...and it´s by intention). So any app which wants to provide such a feature has to start a background service and constantly waking up (every couple of seconds , once a minute, whatever) your device and check the battery stats ...this cause a lot of additional battery drain, wake locks and so on and at the end of the day, this checking could drain a lot more battery than you can save via "disable XYZ" ... so it´s senseless .... but users want it and they usually get it ... [another popular example for this user/android problem are the countless RAM cleaner apps out there ....on current Android versions, it doesn´t make sense to clean your RAM at all , because Android does a perfect job with that (only a full RAM is a good RAM ) and these cleaners usually do more harm than good ..... but users want it and they usually get it ...]
OK, back to the point: Aauuto will only implement rock-stable activities and bulletproof events and conditions ....so when you use Aauuto, you can be sure it works without issues and without hidden drawbacks. Maybe I will not implement a popular feature, due to some hidden drawback, but for me it´s more important to develop a good app and therefore have a few less downloads than implementing popular but problematic features ....Afaik you can´t be sure of that with other automation apps.
Do you type your name, email or address multiple times throughout the day? If yes, then Texpand is for you. It will save you lot of time if you set it up right. Texpand is text expansion app designed to assist you with your frequently typed texts. It is a bit different than other text expansion apps that you might have used in other platforms; it uses floating windows to assist you with your typing. The demo video above shows thoroughly how to get started, it is a must watch to get the most out of it. It includes the following features:
• Sort you phrases by usage count, last used time, shortcut name and phrase
• Backup and restore you phrases to/from Google Drive or your local storage
• Floating window to let you complete your expansion if you type your shortcut correctly or to show you
suggestions based on the word you typed or selected
• Expand by selection e.g.: if you select name and you have shortcut name defined to expand to your full
name the floating window will show you either complete your expansion green button or yellow suggestion
button
Settings:
o Specify if shortcut name matching is case sensitive (case sensitive by default)
o Whether to add space or not after expanded text
o Whether to show floating indicators while typing. Note that if you disable floating indicators text
expansion will be immediate i.e. when you type the shortcut text it will immediately expand to its
corresponding phrase.
o Exclude apps from text expansion e.g.: if you don’t want to expand text in a particular app go to
Settings > Exclusions and click the plus(+) button then choose the app you want excluded from the
list of app then Texpand will not expand text on the apps you add to exclusions neither will it show you
suggestions. To remove an app form exclusions click it from the list of exclusions then dialog will
prompt you if you want to remove it click yes to remove it.
Known cases where Texpand will not work:
• If the app is not developed using standard Android SDK namely PhoneGap SDK that uses HTML5 for UI
elements. Texpand only works if the app uses native EditText widget but stay assured that this is what
almost all apps use.
• Texpand will not work on password fields but this is by design not a limitation. Because if text expansion is
enabled on password fields it may interfere with what you think you are typing. Note that some app have a
show password option if the password is not being masked by dots or asterisks then it is not regarded as
password field so Texpand has no way of knowing this is a password field so it will expand your texts as it
will on normal input fields.
• Texpand does not support input fields on webpages
• Word processor apps use highly specialized input fields, they are not currently supported but I am trying to
find a way to make them supported by Texpand.
• Text expansion by selection may not work in some apps, in which case the apps choose to handle selection
themselves without notifying the system.
• Finally floating app like Facebook chatheads may cover the floating indicator in this case you could expand
text by disabling floating indicators. In the future I will add app preference settings that will let you disable
floating icons on specific apps.
P.S.: If you have more issues I will be happy to hear from you go to settings and click send feedback.
Good but gives a warning
Thanks for this great tweak !
I really like it and it seems to be working fine and it is really customizable by its settings.
The only problem I found is that my antivirus (avast) is giving a warning and prompting to uninstall it. I guess it's a false Positive.
The other thing I would have liked is a small animation when expanding text although not an essential thing.
(also you say something about a video in your post but it isn't there ?)

AlienFever, I am glad you like it you see I am new to xda I can not post link to the YouTube video but go to play store and search for Texpand you will find a demo video in the playstote page
I noticed that with Facebook chat heads, the correction bubble appears underneath the chat head making it impossible to use with Chat Heads.
@Isaias Matewos, Can you also please add some macro features like Current Date / Day / Time. etc.Thanks for the wonderful app, I think it's a must app for every Android Power user.
Just wanted to thank the dev, I'm loving this app.
To get user feedback, I will be giving out a limited number of Google Play Store promo codes for the pro-version of the app!
Please comment or message me directly and I will be happy to send you one!
First come, first served- thanks!
Introduction
Notification Timer lets you use stopwatch timers right from your notification drawer.
No need to open an app- view and use your timers from anywhere!
If you track billable work hours, time spent on personal projects, hobbies, chores, exercise, sports, or anything else, then you need this app!
There are some great alternatives out there, but they all have the same major flaw: you shouldn't have to search for an app and wait for it to open to manage your time tracking. With Notification Time, now you don't have to!
With Notification Timer, you can access your timers from anywhere- your home screen, another app, or even the lock screen!

Features
Main Features:
• Notification timers: Timers you activate will show up in the notification drawer. You can view and use them from anywhere!
• Create and manage multiple timers: You can show and hide individual timers as you need them.
• Focus on individual timers: If you have a lot of active timers, the notification can get quite large. You can hide all but one timer by tapping the stopwatch icon, and show them all again by tapping it again.
• Customize your timers: You can give each timer a unique display name to make it stand out. Personalize your timers with more than 40 color options. Choose to hide buttons you don't need to avoid accidental resets and dismissals.
• Deactivate/reactivate timers: Don't need access to your timers right now? With one button press you can hide them all from the notification drawer. Press it again when you're ready to start tracking time again. All the timers you had active before will be remembered and activated automatically!
• Reset all timers: Done recording for the day? With one button press you can easily reset all timers back to time zero.
• Timer history: All timer events (start/stop/reset/etc.) are automatically recorded, up to 1000 events
• Set time manually: Forgot to start your timer? No worries- you can update your timer's current time manually.
• Reorder timers: Put your timers in any order you like. The order will be reflected both in the app and the notification drawer.
• Daily tracking log: Check daily breakdowns for each timer (elapsed, added, and total time).
• App themes: Dark theme is enabled by default, but a light theme is there if you prefer it.
• Timer styles: Three different timer styles are available: dark, light, and black.
• Timer sizes: Large and small layouts to suit your preference.
• Functionality settings: Lots of options are available in the Settings menu for adjusting how the app and timers work.
Pro Version Features:
• Create unlimited timers (free version is limited to 3 at a time)
• Display up to 8 timers in the notification drawer at a time
• No more notification upgrade message
• Completely ad-free
• Help support future development of Notification Timer and other great apps!

Notes
Due to Android technical limitations, all timers in the notification need to refresh at the same time. Because of this, you may see some hiccups or glitches while timers are running, and their displayed times might be slightly off. Paused timers will always be accurate.
For the same reasons, it is not possible to display milliseconds in the notification and still have responsive buttons- sorry! If displaying milliseconds within the app itself becomes a highly-requested feature, that could be a future possibility.
Also, please note that the daily tracking log is not able to keep track of time beyond timer history (1000 events). If you need longer term records, please consider using a separate time tracking tool. For now, the focus of Notification Timer is easy-to-use timers. If lots of users request more sophisticated time tracking then that could be a possibility for the future.
Please feel free to reach out with any bug reports or feature requests and thank you for your support!

Release Notes
Version 1.2.0:
Added small timer layout. With the small layout, up to twelve timers can be displayed at the same time and up to six can be displayed without having to recreate the notification after focusing on a timer. By default, the small layout will be used if five or more timers are active, but this can be changed in Settings.
Added setting to specify which layout focused timers should use.
Older Versions:
Version 1.1.0:
Created a Daily Tracking Log screen to view daily breakdowns for each timer (elapsed, added, and total time). Please note: the app still won't keep track of time beyond timer history (1000 events), so if you need to keep long term records please consider using a separate dedicated time tracking tool.
Fixed notification upgrade message not directing to in-app upgrade prompt dialog.
Fixed some memory leaks (might see some benefits in memory usage).
Version 1.0.2:
Implemented manually setting of time by typing in the time (instead of scrolling).
Tapping a timer's time within the app now opens the dialog to manually set the time.
Fixed crashing bug (probably) seen on Moto G5s Plus (and likely other devices).
Fixed crashing bug related to activate all timers button.
Adjusted contact form (removed auto-fill suggestions).
Version 1.0.1:
Tapping a timer's focus button in the app now activates the timer in the notification.
Tapping a timer's name in the app now opens the timer settings dialog.
Made slight adjustments to timer dropdown menu.
Simplified and shortened tutorial.
Ads are now hidden while the tutorial is running.
Fixed a bug that could prevent the tutorial from progressing.
Fixed bug where the activate/deactivate all timers button would crash the app if a timer had recently been deleted while active.
Version 1.0.0:
Initial release- Notification Timer lives!

I liked the idea! Right now I use the stopwatch from the default clock, but, like you said, you need to open the app and can't control via notification. I would like to test the Pro version :angel:

Code sent- thanks for trying it! I was in the exact same situation, which is what caused me to decide to develop the app. I hope it helps you out!
Hey everyone! I just released an update, fixing some bugs and adding a couple features. And I still have promo codes for anyone interested!

Love the idea! It's much more simpler, than opening one app, and then going back, and doing that everytime you want to pause and.. well, you get it.
Noticed some problem. On my Xiaomi Redmi 3 there is only one timer in the drawer, even then I started several of them. Might be MIUI problem.
Also, it would be very nice, if app accumulated all timer time. Yeah, I can go to history and sum it all by myself, but it's no fun. Like how that realized in TimeSheet. It gives report by day, week, month, etc.

Thanks for the heads up! A bug on that platform is very possible, as I don't have any Xiaomi/MIUI devices to test on (though I will be looking into getting one). Is it possible that your timer is in focused mode? There would be a line under the stopwatch icon and tapping it would show the other activated timers.
As for accumulated time, I am looking into a system for automatically tracking daily time and an "all timers" option would be trivial to add to that (as would week/month/etc.). Thanks for the suggestion!
In using the app, I realized I wanted to be able to have more timers displayed at a time, so I created a small timer layout to fit more into the notification. Here's the update with that feature- enjoy!
