I see apps on the store (application connected with a BLE button) that can launch SIRI when the BLE button is pressed.
Any idea how this feature could be implemented ?
I did not see any API available to launch SIRI from an app
Did this application uses private APIs ?
This same application can:
- lock the screen when BLE button is pressed
- take screenshots when BLE button is pressed
No answer ? I would be very interested to know the answer !
>Did this application uses private APIs
Yes (ignoring that siri isn't an 'application').
If this is a feature you'd like for your use, feel free to file a request via the bug reporter.
If by "connected with a BLE button" you're talking about a BLE (as in Bluetooth Low Energy) device that acts as a keyboard, it's probably just sending the keyboard shortcuts for the home button, volume buttons etc.
There is no API to do that from within an app (i.e. without using an external keyboard).
