Description

This app uses the Device Administrator permission.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: This app uses the Device Administrator permission. This permission is needed to lock the screen. You will be able to grand this permission inside the settings of the application. Inside the settings of the application there is also a simple option to revoke the permission. You should not give the device administrator permission to applications that don't need this for the core working.

Add extra triggers to turn the screen off and optionally lock the device.

I've mainly written this application for the following use cases:
* You want to turn the screen off using a remote control
* You don't want to use the hardware power button
* You want to turn the screen off if you are using a dedicated android device as car navigation

I've add a trigger to turn the screen off when you double tap the home button in android. This works very well as that button is always visible. When you turn the screen off, you don't mind if we exit the current application anyway.

There is also a trigger to turn the screen off when you stop charging the device. This is very helpful when you are using a separate android device as car navigation. When you turn the ignition of the car off the device stops charging from the 12V from the car and the device also turns the screen off. Works very well especially if you use the android option to also turn the screen on when you start charging.

All triggers are optional. You can configure yourself how they work.

Some extra's:
* There is a setting to delay the screen off with a cancel dialog (currently 5 seconds, but if you need some other timeout, let me know and I'll make this configurable)
* This application is also a Tasker/Locale plugin, you can fire the screen off from your own scripts

This is paid software. But to enable you to test your setup I allow you to download it for free, when you are sure it works for you, you can use an in app payment to pay.
