android-torchlight's Issues

Send not working

The send feature on the menu is not working as user can't send feedback as that's the title to it.

Torchlight goes off suddenly and refuse to come up

Expected behavior

The app should function properly and put on phone flashlight both in portrait and landscape mode. Also, the flashlight should not go off when phone is rotated to landscape mode from portrait mode.

Actual behavior

The behavior is into two places, which I believe were caused by the same root case:
First scenario, when the torchlight has been put on while in portrait mode, it suddenly goes off in landscape mode and won’t work again until app is restarted.

Second issue, if the app was started was started on landscape, the torchlight / flashlight won’t function / come up at all until app is restarted again.

How to reproduce

Reproduction steps of the first bug:

1. Install app from fdroid
2. Launch and grant camera permission
3. Tap the centre of the screen display (torchlight comes up)
4. Rotate phone to landscape (torchlight goes off)
5. Rotate back to portrait mode , tap the centre of the screen (torchlight does not come up)

Reproduction steps of the second issue:

1. Launch the app in landscape mode
2. Tap the centre of the display to put torchlight on, it will be noticed that the torchlight does not come up.

• Browser/App version: app version 2.6
  *Operating system: Android 6.0

Recording Of The Bug

I had to use an external camera recording device so as to capture both the operations and effect of the bug succefully because screen recorder will only capture operations and not effect.

New logo proposal

Hi I'm Gideon and I saw your app and I really think I can work on a better logo for it if you would grant me this opportunity.
I'm a Graphic Designer I could give you a logo proposal if you wish,
If this is something that may be of the interest of this project, let me know

Cheers! Gideon.

App Permissions

Hello, I would like to know why this app requires access to camera?
Why not only access to flashlight?
Thank you. Smiles :)

The app crashes and exits on its own when accessing the "Share" feature

When I click on the "share" feature, the app suddenly crashes and exits by itself.

How to reproduce

1. Install and open the app
2. Next, click on the "Share" feature located in the top left menu of the app.
   Then you will find the error as I experienced.
