Adding a bicycle bell function

adding a bicycle bell function (for attention) to the application and displaying the button in the application panel or as a separate hot button.


This would be very useful, for example, for those who have nowhere to place a call. for example, my phone can ring quite loudly, since it has a good, loud external speaker. I tried to code the panel call application but it didn’t work out very well.

Good idea. Good function!

There are several apps for this. Use them.

Exactly. As freischneider wrote.


E.g. overlay bike bell app.

I used to have an app like this. A button as an overlay. But it's not practical. You first have to turn on the screen and then click the button.
It's easier to put a bell on the bike.

I also think this has to be fast and reliable so a physical ring on the bike is a way to go.

For anyone interested: does anyone positive experience with any app from Google Play that has this functionality?

I have. I have a N6000 phone with a very good speaker and it works great as a call. On a road bike it is quite difficult to find a suitable bell. It is clear that physical is good, but electronic is also not a bad idea. On my phone, the call from Google Play works well, but it’s very impractical since you need to log out of locus. and if you place a button on top of locus , the control of Locusmap itself is broken. I think it's a good feature.

I would like to have the same function. It's a shame she's not there. Analogues on top of the screen do not work well. I have nowhere to physically place the bell on my road bike.

This can also be done with tasker, but with a tasker floating screen

what would be good and more general purpose is for locus dashboard to support external apps, or even better to support sending intents to tasker to call specific tasks

currnetly i call locus tasker plugin from the right toolbar, and have all my locus tasks popup in a list

and also shake phone to cycle between dashboards, but this isnt helpfull when cycling....

but different dashboards, with custom tasks and icons for teh tasks would be very multipurpose, and you could easily call a bell task, or otehr app.

I don’t understand what the problem is with adding such a function. you have to do it through complications, which is very inconvenient. add a button that makes a ding... I don’t understand, but okay. As I understand it, the functions cannot be waited for. You will have to configure it somehow through other applications.

Could we achoeve the bell by adding a function button to dashboard

that could play media file, run a locus function ( so same method as side panels

and open url.....( this will then be able to call tasker tasks)

this would achieve both this idea, and several other open ideas on the forum...

I completely agree. These functions are missing.
