Convenient Use Cases
Touch Protector is a simple app that disables touch screen and physical button operations, but it has many useful uses.
- When walking while looking at a map app, the map does not shift even if you touch the screen.
- Walking with the music video playing in your pocket.
- Locking the camera during video recording allows you to enjoy various camera work without worrying about accidental operation.
- When using your phone as a navigation system for motorcycles, you can prevent accidental operation due to raindrops.
- When tracing a displayed image, you can lock it and place a piece of paper on it.
- When you show a photo to someone, you can lock it and give it to them to prevent them from seeing the other photos.
- etc.
If you have other interesting ways to use it, I would appreciate it if you could write them in the comments.

Restrictions for Android 8 and later
Due to additional restrictions in Android OS 8 or later, Touch Protector can no longer disable the notification bar (top edge of the screen) and navigation bar (bottom edge of the screen). Therefore, Touch Protector will close the notification bar and navigation bar as soon as they are displayed to reduce accidental operation.

Works as advertised. The notification bar limitation is a problem for me. I use the phone on my bicycle for GPS navigation. When it rains, the water drips down from the top of the screen, which of course behaves like a pull down, activating the notifications - which Touch Protector can't block - and the phone goes nuts! Thanks, Google! Thinking about a physical solution, but haven't come up with one yet.

This app was perfect. Now for some reason the option to turn on advanced features using accessibility services has disappeared. Which means the soft back, home, and recent keys cannot be locked and locking those is just as important as locking the screen. Update: I hadn't turned accessibility on, but it still didn't appear. I fiddled with every menu item and finally found it, but the instructions aren't correct on how to turn it on.

If you have turned on the accessibility service, the option for enabling the advanced feature is not shown. If you didn't restart your phone for a long time, please restart it just in case.

Exactly what I needed! I've been listening to college lectures while doing yard work, but the lecture would constantly pause itself and jump through the video, real nightmare. But with this app, I just put my phone in my pocket, it dims the screen to the lowest brightness + locks the screen to prevent accidental activations, and pulling it out brings the brightness right back up and unlocks it. This app made it a whole lot easier for me to study and get work done. Hey dev, thanks for the app!!!
