CamAPSDisplay

This app is designed to show blood glucose level (BGL) readings from CamAPS FX (camdiab.com) as a unsleeping display, so at a glance at your smartphone screen you can see what the current glucose level is.

Why

While looking after our Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) son I don't like interrupting our time by pulling out his phone and checking his BGL. Instead I like to put his phone down somewhere close with the BGL display locked. When using vanilla Dexcom on iOS I did this with guided access which would:

  1. Lock the phone, so if I left it no one could get into the phone.
  2. Stop the screen from falling asleep which would make it easier to parse.

HowTo

With CamAPS and android this is not possible without annoyance, so I made this little app. Just:

  1. enable pinning apps in settings
  2. install it (by clicking on the build in TODO) (you should already have Chrome enabled to install apps from installing CamAPS)
  3. open the app
  4. enable the app to listen to notifications
  5. click the stop screen sleeping button (TODO)
  6. pin the app

The phone will not shut off, so make sure it is plugged in otherwise you will run out of battery.

Notes

Also this is my first android app, so no guarantees.
