Hi, I made a very simple add-on mainly for myself but didn't want to keep it from you.
The add-on allows you to add a button to the main map screen for calling a configured phone number with a single touch.
How to use:
- Install the add-on from Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.niklas_guertler.directcall) or via the APK file (https://github.com/Erlkoenig90/DirectCall/releases/download/v0.1/DirectCall.apk).
- From your apps screen/launcher, start "DirectCall Settings" and configure the desired phone number and additional settings.
- Re-Start Locus Map, tap the "set function panels" button, tap the "+" and then "Add function button". Select "DirectCall" from the category "Add-ons".
- Tap the newly added DirectCall button to start a test call. You may need to confirm the "phone" permission the first time you do this.
Features:
- Call a preconfigured phone number from the Locus Map main screen
- Optionally display a confirmation dialog before calling
- Optionally call with speaker enabled
- Starting "DirectCall" from your apps screen/launcher will also start a call, same way as the button in Locus Map
- DirectCall does not perform a VoIP call, but uses the default phone app on your device to start a regular phone call
