Reintroducing Ceilingbounce - flashlight testing and runtime graphs for Android

In 2015, I wrote an Android app for flashlight reviewers. If you read or watch many flashlight reviews, you've probably seen graphs with a black background and a yellow line generated by Ceilingbounce. Unfortunately, the tools used to build it were abandoned by the volunteers who created them, and soon after became incompatible with the current state of Android. I couldn't release updates, and installation on new devices required developer tools. Now it's back, and more features are coming soon.

@zakreviews @flashlight Unfortunately, it doesn't display the graph while recording and doesn't save it to the gallery afterwards

@planetcaravan1 @flashlight the sensor reads 27 in that screenshot, and you have the start threshold set to 100.

@zakreviews @flashlight Thanks, I didn't notice that. Can I remove all the values ​​from there?

@planetcaravan1 @flashlight no, but you can set them to zero. It requires a change in reading to trigger the start, which I may change in the future.

@zakreviews @flashlight I managed to record once, but the second time after starting recording the application simply closed. Or it displays an error message like this

@planetcaravan1 @flashlight It's not supposed to do that. I'll see if I can reproduce.

@zakreviews @flashlight I recorded a screen video. A friend of mine with a different smartphone model was also able to record the graph once, but the second time, the graph didn't appear on the screen during recording and wasn't saved.

@planetcaravan1 @flashlight I think I found the problem and this new release should fix it. The storage directory code was not correct.

@zakreviews @flashlight If the brightness drops below 10 percent, the graph is saved and everything works correctly, but if you press "stop test" yourself, the app freezes and a corrupted file is saved in the gallery. It looks like this

@planetcaravan1 @flashlight Thanks for the report. 0.3.2 is out and it should be fixed.

@zakreviews @flashlight Everything works now. And the chart, by the way, saves to the gallery immediately. On the old version of the app, which I once found on blf, the chart would save after about half a minute. Thanks, Zak!
