Smart scenario

Describe what happened?

When the app is running and the device is locked, the Scenario list / overlays (which use accessibility overlay windows TYPE_ACCESSIBILITY_OVERLAY) remain visible on top of the lockscreen. This:

1. Exposes all scenario configurations and settings directly from the lockscreen without requiring a password/PIN.
2. Captures touch events and potentially blocks the password/PIN entry area, preventing the user from unlocking their phone.

Screenshot

Describe what should have happened?

The overlays/UI should be hidden or paused when the device is locked / keyguard is active.

Context / Code Reference

In OverlayManager.kt:

        /** The type of window used for the overlays. */
        const val OVERLAY_WINDOW_TYPE: Int = WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_ACCESSIBILITY_OVERLAY

Since it uses TYPE_ACCESSIBILITY_OVERLAY, these windows are displayed over everything, including the lockscreen, by default.

To fix this, the app could:

1. Listen to broadcast actions Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF or check KeyguardManager.isKeyguardLocked() to hide or suspend overlays when the screen is locked/keyguard is active.
2. Resume overlays when the user unlocks the device (Intent.ACTION_USER_PRESENT).

Hi and thank you for your feedback.

Fix is exactly what you said. I won't be implementing this for the current beta as the impact can be huge in case of error, and I rather limit the scope of it (as I still have to finish/integrate the new tutorials).

This will definitely be on the next version todo list, as well as click passthrough.

And the overlay also happens to cover up power off menus. There's a separate issue around not being able to use the gesture navigation to back out or go to the home page either. And as a result, i hit some SERIOUSLY FRUSTRATING softlock issue. Could be caused by #935 bug, that while i was in scenario settings, the menu got stuck. I couldn't save and exit, or close and exit the overlay. The quick settings tiles or reboot, nothing was available, because Klick'r had captured fullscreen inputs 😤. Only way out was to hold power button to trigger internal power cutoff.

Owing to my incredibly terrible luck during the incident, i seemingly had neither USB debugging, nor Wireless Debugging enabled. so i couldn't confirm the root cause, and blaming #935 is just speculation on my part.

Version: Custom patched version (adding a few features) on top of 4.0.0-beta02

Imagine if a regular user got into such a softlocked situation...
