Home Assistant Android version:
1.8.0-159
Android version:
10
Phone model:
Pixel 2 XL
Home Assistant version:
0.108.4
Last working Home Assistant release (if known):

Description of problem:
Lock screen does not appear when the app is resumed from background. It only appears if the app has been closed using back button.

Traceback (if applicable):

  • Open the app (lock screen appears)
  • Unlock using your finger
  • After it's unlocked, press device home button
  • Open the app again
  • Now lock screen does not appear

Screenshot of problem:

Additional information:
Also, as a suggestion, it would be great if no button needs to be touched to show the fingerprint reader. If the fingerprint reader is shown immediately it's faster to use.

Maybe a good idea is to put a programmable timeout for when the lock screen should appear.

Before this app I was using my own (https://github.com/sjvc/Home-Assistant-Launcher). I set a timeout of 10 seconds, and I was very happy with it. But I think it would be better if it's programmable like you said. Perfect!
