I received a request a few days ago for a feature that I never even thought of. I don’t use Bluetooth, so I often forget about it, but this user wanted the option to toggle Auto Respond when the phone connects to a Bluetooth device.
I thought it was a great idea, so I tried it out. It was actually extremely easy to implement, and now I’m working on building in some extra options for it, similar to the options for docking the phone. It might be a bit before it’s done though.
I am going to be releasing this feature and its options as beta first, play around with them for a while to ensure that they work, and then release it. If you would like to help test this new feature, you only need to do a couple things:
- join my Google Plus community (this is required from Google, not by me)
- Sign up to receive beta builds
As always, please let me know if you have any issues. If you run into a crash bug (even though I don’t expect you to) make sure to hit the “report” button so that I can get detailed information about where the bug occurred in my code.
If you want to opt out of the beta builds at any time, for any reason, go to that same link and you can opt out. These links have been posted to my community as well. If you are running a beta build and want to return to a production build after opting out you will need to uninstall the app and reinstall it, or wait until a new production build is released. This also is true of any Android app and is a limitation posed by Google, not me.
