I wonder would it be possible to copy a specific code from quick tile? |
Technically it should be possible, for example Bitwarden has a tile to autofill credentials. However this would require accessibility permissions to detect the active app or website when the tile is activated, and each entry in the authenticator would need to include its associated URLs. |
- Marked tile as toggleable to remove the arrow icon. - Added subtitle to hide the "Off" label under the tile. Note: The tile is not functionally toggleable — TOGGLEABLE_TILE is used only for appearance consistency.
Here is how it looks now

Guarded subtitle assignment in QuickTileService to prevent NoSuchMethodError on Android versions below API 29, where Tile.subtitle is not available. - Added version check before setting tile.subtitle - Verified on emulator with API 27. No crashes, tile works correctly

Tests
Physical Device and emulator on Android 16 (SDK 36)
Result: The tile is correctly displayed and launches the app successfully.
Emulator: Android 5.0 (SDK 21)
Result: This test was performed to ensure backward compatibility on Android versions below API 24 (which do not support Quick Settings tiles). The app runs without any crashes or issues. The new code is correctly bypassed on older versions.
