Start at boot time

Specifies whether BAIlogger will be automatically started during system startup. If this is disabled the app must be started manually after every reboot, otherwise no events will be logged.

Enable root

Specifies whether BAIlogger will get root permissions. This is for example required to toggle NFC or Mobile Data directy (without any additional user interaction).

Disable NFC at boot time

Specifies whether whether NFC should automatically be disabled at boot time.

Show toggle buttons

Specifies whether toggle buttons to en-/disable Bluetooth, GPS, mobile data, NFC and WIFI should be shown. The corresponding button will also indicate the actual state.

Protocol font size

Specifies the font size of the protocol list entries.

Notification reminder

Here you can configure whether and how you should be reminded about open notifications.

You can specify the time (in minutes) after which you will be reminded about any open notification, which melody/tingtone should be used to remind you and whether the devive should also vibrate. The reminder will restart again until the botofication will be closed.

Fullscreen mode

Here you can change the fullscreen (immersive mode) for all apps.

You can show or hide the status bar, the navigation bar or both at all. To bring back a hidden bar for some seconds you just have to swipe from the edge.

Logging period

Indicates the max. count of days how long logged events will be stored. Events that are older than the specified period will be automatically deleted. If this parameter is set to 0 then the messages are never deleted automatically.

Unknown sources

Here you can configure whether enabling the installation from 'Unknown sources' should be disabled again after the an installation has been completed or after a timeout has been expired.

This feature will be activated by specifying a timeout (in seconds) greater the 0 seconds. If this feature is enable, you will be prompted to turn it off again after the next installation/update of an app or after the specified timeout has been expired.

Bluetooth

Here you can configure whether the Bluetooth service will be started/stopped by pressing the power button multiple times. If Click count is set to 0, this option is disabled. The parameter Click delay is used to configure the max. delay between two successive clicks.

The recognition of a multi click (and turning the Bluetooth service on/off) will be indicated by a vibration.

Using the parameter Timeout a period can be defined, after which the Bluetooth service is switched off again in the case that within this period no connection to a paired device has been established. If Timeout is specified as 0 the timeout is disabled.

Location service

This defines whether the Location services should be used at all (whether a geoposition should be stored with the logged events). The parameters Min. time interval and Min. distance can be used to configure the update frequency of the geoposition data. Lower values for this parameters will result in a better accuracy but will also require more energy. The default values ​​should be a good compromise.

If no events to be logged occur over a longer period it is clear that also no geopositions will be stored. For such cases you can configure an Auto timer. This one will log empty pseudo events, if within the specified period no event occurs but geopositions are available.

Using the parameter Maps URL you can optionally specify an URL (Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, ...) to be used to show a geoposition. After a longer touch on a log entry (with geoposition) a menu is displayed, on which you can let show the corresponding geoposition in a map. For this the URL provided here will be used.

USB

Here you can configure whether further actions should be executed when connecting/disconnecting the device with a computer or a power adapter.

It is possible to turn Bluetooth on/off (after connecting/disconnecting the device with an external power supply or a computer). If this option is selected then Bluetooth will be enabled for a short period (for 60 or (if defined) Timeout seconds) after a USB connection has been established. If no already paired device does connect within this period Bluetooth will be disabled again. Otherwise Bluetooth remains switched on until all connections were stopped. If the USB connection still exists at this time the timeout does start again.

Additionaly it is possible to automatically display the Developer options (only when connected/disconnected to a computer). The Developer options can be used to enable/disable USB debugging, what could be required for a computer connection, but should not be permanently turned on.

Monitoring

Here you can configure which events should be monitored and logged.

Authentication

Execution of BAIlogger (viewing the log list, changing the settings) can be protected by specifying a password. Specifying a password will not result in a encrypted database. If a password is defined, it must be entered on each start of this app will be started (also if 'Start at boot time' is defined). By pressing the Back or Home button the app does not exit but will just be moved to the background. The password will only be polled again if the app was left using the 'Exit' menu.
