Switch back to Fully after Using Another App?

[S_D]

I’ve added a couple of tiles to Fully that launch my Harmony and Sono’s apps when they’re touched. But I’m wondering, is there a way to have the Fire Tablet time out after say 30 seconds of inactivity when in these apps and then via motion detection activate back into the Fully main URL/Dashboard screen?

Right now the screen simply dims and it stays in the app. Strangely, even pressing the screen doesn’t brighten the screen (have to basically click on the “Back” button", which is hardly visible).

You might be able to use something like the AutomateIt app to automatically switch back to Fully similar to the following post:

Edit: I also just realized that there’s a setting in Fully Kiosk Browser under Universal Launcher > Regain Focus After Idle Time (PLUS) that allows you to specify a duration after which Fully will automatically try to bring itself back to the foreground.

AutomateIt

The app AutomateIt might be used to accomplish this as well.

For example, AutomateIt has an “Application Status” trigger which can be used to trigger an AutomateIt rule whenever an app is opened.

So I’m thinking you might be able to create a rule that says something like:

IF "Amazon Alexa" app is activated
THEN open app "Fully Kiosk Browser" 
    (with a delayed execution of XX seconds)

The Fire tablets I have nearby me at the moment don’t have voice activated Alexa on them, so I’m not able to test to the full flow.

PS. The Fire Tablets don’t expose the Settings screen for the “Activity Stats” feature that lets AutomateIt know when an app is open.

You’ll have to sideload an app called Activity Launcher. Open Activity Launcher , scroll down and expand Settings and select Apps with Usage Access , then toggle AutomateIt on.
