add lock as end action

[muzzol]

this is a feature request to add locking device as action.

I use timers a lot and for my use case I would like to lock my phone/tablet after all steps are done, but not before (no autolocking or idle locking).

thanks for your time

Thank you for using the app!

By locking, do you mean turning the screen off? If so, Android doesn't allow third-party apps to do that for security reasons.

[muzzol]

yes, the same behaviour as if you touch the power button.

isn't that allowed?

what about activating the lock screen directly? (PIN, pattern)

[DeweyReed]

As far as I know, Android doesn't allow third-party apps that don't have system-level permissions to lock or turn off the screen.

I'm not familiar with Android API but I saw a lot of apps for locking with a button, I though it was trivial.
Sorry about that and thanks for your time.
