How Shizuku is used

Can open apps in floating windows and on remote displays, inject touch and key input, and sleep or wake the screen via Shizuku.

This is an AI-assisted analysis of Shizuku-related usages in the app's public source code. It is best effort, so it may not catch every single usage.

How this app uses Shizuku

Extendroid uses Shizuku to run a privileged service that powers its desktop style multi-window and remote access features.

Open apps in windows: chosen apps are launched into popup windows and virtual displays for multi-window use through the privileged service.
Close window tasks: apps opened in popups or remote sessions are removed from recents and shut down when windows are minimized, closed or sessions end.
Interact inside windows: taps, swipes and key presses performed in a popup or received from a remote viewer are injected into the matching display.
Turn off phone screen: the built-in display is switched to a low power mode while content is shown elsewhere, and restored afterward.
Sleep and wake device: the device is put to sleep and woken up for remote unlock training and replay, including recording an unlock gesture and replaying it to unlock.
Suggest recent apps: recently and frequently used apps are listed to populate the window launcher and app menus.
Grant its own permissions: screen capture, notifications and overlay permissions needed for windows and streaming are granted to itself through the privileged service.
Calibrate touch for unlock: touchscreen limits and screen size are read to scale a recorded unlock gesture so replay matches the screen.
Auto-start for remote access: its own main screen is started through Shizuku when a remote access push arrives so the remote session can connect.
