Closing the camera app by way of the lens cover is fine, what we were saying is that it would be cool if closing the lens cover only locks the phone IF the camera app is open.

Re: Closing Lens Cover to Lock Phone?

I don't know if this is possible, but ideally I think closing the lens cover should only lock the phone if (a) the camera app is open, and (b) the lens cover was used to unlock the phone in the first place.

In other words, if I already have the phone unlocked and am using it for other things, then decide I want to take a picture and so open the lens cover, if I then close the lens cover I would not want the phone to lock.

I agree, this would be the ideal implementation. However, just basing the lock control on whether or not the camera app is open could still work (you would just have to x out of the camera then close the lens). I am just thinking of the simplest implementation possible so hopefully nicolai will be kind enough to help us again :)
