Android widget that will do this?

[flibberdipper]

I was wondering if there was a widget for Android that will turn off my device when I click on it or something. Since pretty much every Android device has you hold down the power button for x amount of seconds to turn it off, and I can't do that, I have to go to the settings app, and then go to shut down or whatever. And, well, it's a bit of a pain in the ass. Which leads me to this topic. Any help? Please?

Saw from one of the android youtube channels that there is a feature for a double tap turn off, there is also one where you can lock the phone by turning it upside down.

Well... This is a netbook, so I don't think turning it upside down will help. And double tap... That's just dumb.

Double tap is really useful for phones, my M8 can be double tapped to turn on. But not for netbooks of course.

I just double tap the status bar of my phone and it goes to sleep

Yeap. If you ever need a random app (for stuff like this), you can tag me or whatever. I know a lot about Android and spend a whole lot of time obsessing over it.

I think we can get along just fine. So... You wouldn't know of a screenshot app, would you?

 

Also, yeah. I think I can safely say I've played with Android. Sure, it came ready to run, but damn. So much bullshit to sort through.

@Jade, do you know of a widget that will lock the screen?

It's not a widget, but you could use this, then make it invisible with something like Nova Launcher.

Note; You can also use Greenify's option to "Hibernate + Lock Screen" and just not have any apps in its hibernate list.

I think that would work fine.
