Hello,
so i was playing around with the Idea of using Spotify or something like that for Music in my Bathroom.
I got a cheap (30 bucks) Android tablet, i know they suck, but the music apps run just fine, and thats all it has to do.
Now i already got it set up so the screen powers on as soon as its connected to a charger, and stays on until it gets disconnected.
If it gets disconnected, it turns the screen off after 5 Minutes.
All done with system settings, so no apps needed here.
It is connected to a USB Charger which is connected to the light switch of the room. And the speakers are also powered like this.
So everything pretty much works how i want it to work.
But there is one thing i dislike.
Most music players i tried don't have a timeout setting, they would just keep on streaming and playing.
And eating data and battery life in the process. Not good.
Now i thought there should be a way to close an app (kill it) as soon as the screen is turned off.
And it would even be more awesome, if the app is started when the screen gets turned on, but thats not really important.
So is there any way, or app, that can kill an app as soon as the screen times out?
Or maybe with an inactivity timer i can set.
This is not to get any performance boosts like those snake oil apps promise. Its really just that i don't want an app to keep streaming music once the screen is turned off.
