Geofence geofence = new Geofence.Builder() GeoTrigger: Using the awesome “LOST” open-source geofencing library, this trigger sends a panic if the device moves outside of a pre-defined area (in this sample, it is Times Square NYC) private void setupGeoFence () Intent intent = new Intent(Panic.ACTION_TRIGGER) Public static void launchIntent (Context context, String emailAddress, String phoneNumber, String subject, String message)įinal PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager() įinal Set receiverPackageNames = PanicTrigger.getResponderActivities(context) LaunchIntent(context, email, phone, subject, message) String message = prefs.getString("message","i triggered a panic!")

String phone = prefs.getString("phone",null) String email = prefs.getString("email",null) The new PanicKitSamples project demonstrates new possible triggers that could be implemented in an app like Ripple, or any app that wishes to do so. In the “” package, you will find the following classes:īaseTrigger: a base class that handles launching of the “panic intent” from a set of stored preferences to trigger the responders public static void launchPanicIntent (Context context)įinal SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context.getApplicationContext()) Responders receive the alert, and take an appropriate, user configured or default action. Triggers are what create the alert that there is an emergency or panic situation. PanicKit works by connecting trigger apps with receiver apps. In others, rapidly pressing a button or shaking the phone, may be safer and easier than unlocking your device and using an app. In some cases, the activation may need to be subtle, such typing an incorrect phone number. In many emergency scenarios, the user might be unable to actively trigger a panic, because they are unconscious, detained or have had their device taken away. However, we would like to promote PanicKit trigger functionality that goes beyond something a user has to actively do, or at least obviously do. All of this can be triggered by a simple tap and swipe on the Ripple’s app user interface. This might include sending an emergency message, putting sensitive data behind a password, hiding the app icon, or even wiping data. It is great to have so many apps implement helpful features for users to react during an emergency situation. Since then, we’ve had over 10 different apps implement PanicKit responder functionality, including Signal, OpenKe圜hain, Umbrella app, StoryMaker and Zom. Rather than build a solitary, enclosed “panic button” app that only can provide a specific set of functionality, we decided, as we often do, to build a framework, and encourage others to participate.

Earlier this year, we announced the PanicKit Library for Android and Ripple, our basic app for alerts any compatible app that you are in an emergency situation.
