Samsung Galaxy launches main app instead of 'Key Mapper: side key' for remap of double press

Describe the bug
Not sure exactly how this is supposed to work, but every way I can think of still doesn't work.

True, there is an option to not set the app as an assistant but still not working. Also giving the option for a short press of the side button is a non starter because the system reserves that for turning off the screen.

I set the built in option to the secondary app (which it surprisingly found listed) but that didn't help.

If you have specific instructions on this please advise.

Please send screenshots of Key Mapper home screen and your side key settings in your phone's settings app.

What happens when you double press the side key with this set up? Does anything happen at all?
Please also check that the key map is enabled and the accessibility service is enabled.

Please also remove 'double press' from the trigger options. I don't think that's necessary because Samsung is dealing with that aspect, not Key Mapper. Short press should be sufficient.

[githubsterer]

Double press does nothing.

Key Map and accessibility is enabled.

Single press is hard wired to turn off the screen. For Samsung S series a single press is never an option.

[jambl3r]

I mean in the Key mapper Trigger settings. You have turned on 'double press' inside Key Mapper, but I don't think its necessary.

[githubsterer]

It now looks like this but again, double press does nothing and single press turns off the screen.

Okay, what options are available in the list of apps when you're setting up the double press action?
Is there only listed 'Key Mapper' or is there also 'Key Mapper: side key'?

[githubsterer]

Actually there is only the key mapper side key in the list, but when selected it shows the key mapper name in the settings.

This is a bit suspicious, but I'm surprised nothing happens at all when you trigger the app. If you choose any other app at all in that menu does the app open when you double press the power button?

[githubsterer]

Yes, works as expected and launches the selected app. When I double press outside the Key Mapper app, it merely launches the app. That is where your problem is. The side app is chosen from the list but it's using the main app in the selection.

1. Make sure Key Mapper: side key is the selected app for double press.
2. Go to Key Mapper Settings
3. Enable extra logging and tap 'View and share log'
4. Tap the 3 dot menu and choose clear
5. Leave the app and try double pressing the power button
6. Send a screenshot of the log
