Gestures app

[michal8]

I currently use proximity actions - it has many options but it's lacking two very important actions triggered by gesture - accepting incoming voice call and closing apps - do you know any alternative?

Welcome to Android Forums.

What gestures are you referring to related to Incoming Call and Closing App?

Tasker will trigger on either of these but I don't understand how you want to relate it to a gesture.

There is a Tasker sub-forum to this forum.

The particular gestures offered by proximity actions involve waving your hand in front of the prox sensor

If you mean device motion gestures, then you can use Automate to trigger actions, it has an Motion gesture block:

Tasker could do it if it was just passing over the sensor. Multiple passes would be a challenge.

Sensor covered ...
Incoming call

yes answer it
no cancel current task​

Yes - I should explain it in more detail - gestures like wave and proximity - no touch control - so I can accept call or kill an app witout touching the phone.

Within the proximity actions app, you can assign a gesture to a shortcut. Tasker tasks can be called as shortcuts.

So you can make a tasker task to answer the phone (take call) and link to it within prox actions as a shortcut.

Likewise you can make a tasker task to kill an app (I think it requires root) and call that from a prox actions gesture, via shortcut.

I don't know for sure, but probably could do the same using automate also.
