Flashlight Widget for Android

Small and stable widget for android toggling the flash on/off.

Introduction

The target was to make a small and stable widget for the android homescreen toggling the flashlight on and off, as most other flashlight apps have >1mb and / or ads and no activity is needed.

The code is commented and optimized to the best of my knowledge. This is a minimal example, trying to make it as simple as possible.

Materials and Method

This project uses a BroadcastReceiver / AppWidgetProvider and a service to perform it's task. The state is persisted in a SharedPreference.

Extras

At Flashlight Widget you can get the app for free on Android.
