Feature description

The builtin camera app from Samsung or Google can be opened without unlocking the phone, either by double-clicking on the power button or via a lockscreen app shortcut.
When using configuring those to open Fossify Camera instead, this require unlocking the phone.

Why do you want this feature?

It would be convenient to be able to take pictures without needing to enter the pin.

Additional information

This would require limiting the access to pictures/videos so that you cannot see them without unlocking the phone unless there were captured before closing the app.

I'm not sure how possible it is for the developers to implement this themselves as this is more of a "This app isn't on a list of pre-allowed apps so you need to unlock your phone" type of situation

From what I could see, this should be possible to implement within this app.
I can't find exactly the solution I found the other day, but perhaps it is one of those:

• android.permission.DISABLE_KEYGUARD
• setShowWhenLocked

I see. I was not aware of these before, my bad. Thanks for letting me know.
