Sidebar Launcher is a feature-rich Android application designed to boost user productivity and experience by providing swift access to essential tools and apps.

Functional Overview

The Sidebar Launcher serves as a virtual panel that can be accessed from the left side of your device. It offers an array of features that mirror the functionality of the notification area on Android devices but with added personalization and quick access tools. Once activated, the topmost part of the Sidebar Launcher displays the current date and time, as well as the timing of any upcoming alarms set on your device.

Quick Access Tools

In addition to the basic features, the Sidebar Launcher provides instant access to essential device settings such as airplane mode, GPS, and WiFi. A built-in volume control slider is also included, allowing users to swiftly adjust their device's sound levels.

Personalized Experience

What sets Sidebar Launcher apart is its highly customizable nature. Users can tailor their sidebar to include their most frequently used applications, creating a personalized shortcut panel that dramatically enhances accessibility. This feature can significantly increase productivity by reducing the time taken to navigate through multiple menus.

Virtual Buttons

Another innovative feature of Sidebar Launcher is the inclusion of virtual buttons. These buttons provide immediate access to functions like Home, flashlight activation, volume adjustment, and more. This addition further amplifies the utility of the application, making it a comprehensive tool for managing your device.

Compatibility and Customization

Sidebar Launcher seamlessly integrates with other applications, providing a cohesive user experience. The settings menu allows users to adjust the size and positioning of the sidebar, catering to different user preferences and screen sizes. This level of customization makes Sidebar Launcher a versatile tool that can enhance any Android user's experience.

Potentially dangerous permissions

  • ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION: Allows an app to access precise location. Alternatively, you might want ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION.
  • CALL_PHONE: Allows an application to initiate a phone call without going through the Dialer user interface for the user to confirm the call.
  • CAMERA: Required to be able to access the camera device.
  • READ_CALL_LOG: Allows an application to read the user's call log.
  • READ_CONTACTS: Allows an application to read the user's contacts data.
  • READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to read from external storage.
  • READ_PHONE_STATE: Allows read only access to phone state, including the phone number of the device, current cellular network information, the status of any ongoing calls, and a list of any PhoneAccounts registered on the device.
  • READ_SMS: Allows an application to read SMS messages.
  • RECORD_AUDIO: Allows an application to record audio.
  • WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to write to external storage.

Other permissions

  • ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to access information about networks.
  • ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to access information about Wi-Fi networks.
  • BLUETOOTH: Allows applications to connect to paired bluetooth devices.
  • BLUETOOTH_ADMIN: Allows applications to discover and pair bluetooth devices.
  • CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to change network connectivity state.
  • CHANGE_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to change Wi-Fi connectivity state.
  • CLEAR_APP_CACHE: Allows an application to clear the caches of all installed applications on the device.
  • DISABLE_KEYGUARD: Allows applications to disable the keyguard if it is not secure.
  • EXPAND_STATUS_BAR: Allows an application to expand or collapse the status bar.
  • GET_TASKS: This constant was deprecated in API level 21. No longer enforced.
  • INTERNET: Allows applications to open network sockets.
  • KILL_BACKGROUND_PROCESSES: Allows an application to call killBackgroundProcesses(String).
  • READ_SYNC_SETTINGS: Allows applications to read the sync settings.
  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
  • RESTART_PACKAGES: This constant was deprecated in API level 8. The restartPackage(String) API is no longer supported.
  • SET_ALARM: Allows an application to broadcast an Intent to set an alarm for the user.
  • SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW: Allows an app to create windows using the type TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT, shown on top of all other apps. Very few apps should use this permission; these windows are intended for system-level interaction with the user.
  • UPDATE_DEVICE_STATS: Allows an application to update device statistics.
  • VIBRATE: Allows access to the vibrator.
  • WRITE_SETTINGS: Allows an application to read or write the system settings.
  • WRITE_SYNC_SETTINGS: Allows applications to write the sync settings.
  • android.Manifest.permission.DEVICE_POWER
  • android.permission.ACCESS_GPS
  • android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION
  • android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION
  • android.permission.FLASHLIGHT
  • android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL
  • android.permission.USES_POLICY_FORCE_LOCK
