🚀 Activation methods

Gleap offers different triggers (activation methods) to show the Gleap widget. You can configure the activation methods within our visual widget configurator.

The current available activation methods are:

  • Shake (triggered when shaking the device)
  • Screenshot (triggered when a screenshot is taken)

Need a more customized activation method? No worries! You can always open the Gleap widget by code as well.

Activation methods in our visual widget configurator

Set activation methods by code​

Some situations require you to set the activation methods by code. This can be done with the following method.

Gleap.getInstance().setActivationMethods(GleapActivationMethod[] activationMethods);
  • GleapActivationMethod.SHAKE
  • GleapActivationMethod.SCREENSHOT

Screenshot Gesture​

The activation method screenshot gesture can be triggered by simply storing a file on the device. If you want to avoid behaviour please upgrade to Gleap SDK 7.0.34 or later and add the following permission to your AndroidManifest.xml:

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
