Simulate click on a specific area on the screen. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone. I am staying in a foreign country for a while and using a scooter to get around with the help of google maps by listening the directions through my headphones. Sometimes though i need to hear again the last directions and so right now i need to stop and take out my phone in order to do that. So here comes the question i have in mind: is there an app to simulate clicking on a certain area on the screen ( the green bar on upper side of google maps that repeats the directions, in my case

) and then reasign that action to my headset button ? Also i am running google maps in background with the screen off but i dont mind it working with the screen on either. I hope you guys can help me. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
If your phone is rooted, you can use "Automate" (Google Play free app) to create a macro.
Never tested with Google Maps, but I think it's work.

Thanks a lot bro !!! I got it to work with the screen on, now i'm trying to make it unlock the phone, run the command and then lock back. I doubt that i will succeed though but it's good enough anyway. Thanks again !!

I maybe the last to know this battery saver tip

If I'm the last to know you can make fun of me. Just read in my Get Started user guide if you hit the back button instead of the home button it turns the app off.
That's why I always seem to have several apps running
I hit home a lot, now I know
Enjoying my 3vo
in android the background processes barely touch the battery it's managed well and you don't have to worry about them being open.

Bwahahahahahahah!!!!
With that out of the way, there are some really poorly coded apps that kill the battery even if it's not doing anything in the background. Even if the app does not, it takes away available memory, though it's usually not that much.
P.S. The first line is a joke .
any app that you can close with the back button(android has always done this as far as i know) you can also close in the task manager
but ive tested. not all apps close with the back button(still shows as running in Applications). probably something the dev of the app needs to allow

[APP] App Clip

App Clip access your apps with a simple fling...
I find it very usefull in combination with floating apps (lilypad hd, overskreen, hovernote, etc).

Thanks! I just installed it and am liking it a lot! One thing that could be better would be more/custom gestures; I really like swiping in from the right, but it can hinder simple touch presses on the right-side of the screen

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
True, found that out also... It appears the software is still in development so i hope its gets better and better
try this, i use it on my phone all the time. it doesnt work off of a fling, but it lets you adjust several different grids in several locations, i put mine on top left, i RARELY trigger it with a simple tap

[Q] Bizzare Notification Icon

It does nothing. It just remain there. The one in the far left, the first icon. What in the world is it?

Don't worry about the 1X. I've been trying to force the device to obey my command to update the PRL so that the connection be 3G/4G. Just want to know what the first icon in the notification is and if it can be removed.
Location service disabled. I have to say one thing though - i found this on google in exactly 2 minutes ( I have very slow internet ). Maybe you could do your own searching and find answers to your questions. Your behaviour could be considered rude here
I have tried and tried on Google for several days. I just didn't know what words to look for. I've also tried on Yahoo. I apologize of I seem rude, I'm really having a hard time to understand many things. I was hoping that the icon was what caused the connection to be stuck at 1X. I'm about to go to the store for help to get it to be 3G/4G either fix or replace. I will see if the people at the store can remove the location icon. I'm new to EVO 3D and its older style of Android.

Android Powered Dash Cam...Need Some Help/Advice/Etc

So, I purchased this neat dash cam/backup cam/GPS Android-powered rear view mirror from eBay and received it today. I've been playing around with it a bit and I'm curious first off, if anyone on XDA happens to have it. I'm curious if anything has been done to it yet.
I have an issue signing into an account with it, Google Account Manager crashes when I try creating a new account and it doesn't connect to the server when I try logging into an existing account. I tried all the normal fixes (clear cache, etc) with no success. I have internet access though because I'm able to use browser and navigation. Also, the speech is super annoying. It's in "English" but it's a super strong Chinese accent and I can't change it or download any other voice options.
If anyone is curious for more information on it, let me know and I'll provide what I can. I want to toy around with it a bit and I'm hoping someone has already done so. I also need to fix the issues I'm having and I'm not sure where to begin. I've been out of the development game since GS3.

Start Android with 2 Apps in Splitscreen

Hey Folks,
I hope you can help me, search function didn't.
I have Android 7 in my car and all I want is to start with Maps and Spotify in Splitscreen. Is there a launcher which can do this, or any other thing i can do? Maybe IFTTT or something similar?
Of course I can start both Apps and activate the Splitscreen manually, but I am wondering if there is any easier solution. I found "Splitscreen launcher" but it is only for vertical splitting and it doesn't work on my Android 7.
AFAIK you can't start split screen mode programmatically
I want to do the same as OP.
Vivid launcher comes close, but they pair google maps with their own music player. I need to use Gaia for offroad navigation instead of google maps. Gaia lets me upload tracks which is very useful when driving a maze of logging roads to a specific destination. Also, the vivid music player puts a popup on every screen, which I don't want.
It would be even better if I could include a few icons (see image).
But ultimately I don't care how I get the result desired, as long as I can return to it with a press of a steering wheel button. On the head unit I have, I can manually do a splitscreen, but it goes away if I go to a different app.
Does anyone run something like this?
Is there a launcher that will do this?
