Pressy - the all-powerful Android button

It is surprising that on Habré this news yet!

On August 28, a wonderful project appeared on Kikstareter. Now smartphones are becoming less physical buttons. Many are very happy, but others suffer from it. The authors of the project offers a great solution!

Pressy is a physical button that is installed in the headphone jack.

Next, you run a background application that monitors clicking on this button.



Well, set up all the necessary actions.



Here is a list of what can be controlled:

1. Instant photo / video
2. Voice recording
3. Change phone news
4. Flash on
5. Chek-in in social. networks
6. Call recording
7. Sending current location (in an emergency)
8. Turn on / off Wi-Fi / BT
9. Exit all running applications
10. Making Screenshots

The button can respond to a single press, twice, three times. The button can replace the standard buttons Home / Menu it.p.

For me personally, the question remains: can such a button work on a device where pressing the headset buttons, such as the first-generation Nexus 7, is not supported? I suspect that the answer is no.

The project, a little more than a week, collected $ 400 thousand, despite the fact that only $ 40 thousand was needed.
