One could argue that you don't have time to reach for a phone in an emergency, or you might not have a phone in an emergency, or your phone might have a dead battery, or your phone does not have a mobile data or WiFi signal, etc. Conversely, not all emergencies are necessarily that time-critical for the person with the phone. Hence, the net value of being able to trigger your app via an external mechanical means versus, say, a home screen app widget, is not that great, IMHO. > so it should fire on some hard key. > so plz suggeat alternet solution You can build your own phone, with your own dedicated hardware button for emergencies, that will launch your own application via hooks from your own firmware. Or, take another approach that does not require the app to be manually triggered in the emergency situation: http://commonsware.com/blog/2010/05/24/application-concept-resqr.html Or, focus on creating a home screen app widget as your trigger, with something to ensure that it is not accidentally invoked by the user. Or, write another app. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to *Advanced* Android Development_ Version 2.3 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
