Access Your Widgets From Any Screen On Your Device Using Flippr

Have you ever imagined that if it was possible to access apps from widgets from anywhere on your device just as developers do. Here is a solution for your problem. A new app named flippr is being introduced into the Android market. flippr is the app which lets you pull away all the widgets in a simple swipe. App also contains a floating button that lets you to swipe across widgets from within other apps. Another main advantage is that the app still runs when you swipe on to a widget and you can return to the app after finishing it. Rather than calling a widget you can also create groups of widgets and switch between them, all from the app's button.

So lets begin. First launch the app and create your first group. You can classify them on the basis of type of widgets you've added. Enter a name and tap the cog wheel button to add widgets to it. The app doesn’t add any widgets and you can only choose the ones already installed on your phone. Once you have created your groups and added widgets to them, just tap on the play button on the top. 

You can see the notification in the Notification Area that the app is running. You can stop the app from the notofication. A blue button is added to the left of the screen. Tap an slide it to bring the group of widgets in the current group and use them like you normally would from your home screen. When you swipe the button, an overlay appears to tell you which is the active group. To switch groups, the app instructs you to swipe the button horizontally but we had no success with it.

You also got many other features in the app preferences. You can enable the app on boot, and disable the app’s running notification. If the widgets aren't fitting right on your screen’s width and height, you can increase or decrease the number of rows and columns configured for your launcher from the app’s preferences. The app's button can be re positioned, and attach to the opposite side of the screen. The size can be increased and it can be made transparent or less opaque. You can disable the group and widget names and set the widgets to auto hide themselves after you've interacted with one of them.

And the defect is that the app will not work with widgets developed and installed on your system by your device manufacturer.
