[App] Waze Speed Limit Button
Hi Wazers,
I created the android application Waze SLB (Waze Speed Limit Button) for sending speed limit reports (similar to existing web script). The main idea is to imitate tap on the speedometer icon to display Speed Limit form.
You can find the app on the following link: http://vinkoy.github.io/wslb/
Waze SLB automatically starts and closes with Waze (on Android 4.1+ it is neseccary to enable Waze SLB service in phone settings for this feature).
After the first run you need to enter your real Waze nickname, password and valid email.
Show button - display the Waze SLB button over the speedometer icon or make it invisible.
Autostart with Waze - enable or disable autostart.
Disclaimer: Application doesn't collect or send your password anywhere, but to Waze livemap authorization server.

Features:
- app autostarts with Waze (can be disabled in settings) and closes automatically if Waze is closed or another app is on top. For autostart on Android 4.1+ please make sure that the Waze SLB service in enabled in phone settings (Accessibility service);
- app won't send URs if valid Name/Email is not filled or if coordinates weren't received;
- coordinates are saved when tapping the speedometer icon, then you can choose the speed when it's convenient;
- configuration form appears at the first start and can be called from the notification;
- user-defined speed limit values;
- on the config form: tap on version - check the updates, long tap - open WSLB home page;
- if the version number is red - new version is available;
- different sign style for Europe and USA;
- long tap on sign value to set opposite direction - REV (reverse) will be added near arrow:
[WSLM] Nickname End of SL [accuracy:2m direction:90° (→)REV];
- user-defined comments on [...] button. Examples:
tap on black button (default text):
[WSLM] Nickname End of SL [accuracy:2m direction:90° (→)]
tap on black button (predefined text):
@@@Nickname: user predefined comment [accuracy:2m direction:90° (→)]
long tap with text:
@@@Nickname: entered text [accuracy:2m direction:90° (→)]
long tap without text (only nickname, accuracy and direction)
@@@Nickname [accuracy:2m direction:90° (→)]
- voice input for user-defined comments on [...] button (long tap). For this feature the Google Search app may need to be installed;
- position of the red button can be changed in config form. Long tap on the Position button in Config sets defaults;
- color of button can be changed in config form. The color should be in hex: #AARRGGBB, where AA - alpha channel (transparency), RR - red, GG - green, BB - blue (Example: #55777777 - transparent gray). Long tap on the Position button in Config switches between default red and transparent gray.
Known issues:
- Application is not working in background. Application uses overlay and running in backgroud, so your device should allow overlay for Waze SLB and shouldn't limit background activity. Check your device for any system settings or security applications and add Waze SLB to exclusion list.
- since it uses overlapping button over the speedometer icon (red circle) the corresponding region is not available for tapping in Waze, keyboard etc. Workaround: long tap on the button hides it for 10 seconds, this will allow you to tap under the button.
Your feedback is appreciated.
