Cancel functionality

[avdhootu27]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am using AppLock.of(context)!.showLockScreen(); to open the app lock screen at a certain point in my app but if I am supposed to go back I can't. Because the app is in a locked state. So If I don't want to enter the password and unlock the app I can't even go back. In this case, I have to close the app & open it again.

Describe the solution you'd like
I want to enable back button functionality when the lock is opened by AppLock.of(context)!.showLockScreen();.

Describe alternatives you've considered
You can even make showLockScreen return an object like Navigator.pop(context, { //... }) has as an optional param which can tell if it was unlocked or closed by back button.

I appreciate your efforts on this wonderful package :)

Hi! Thank you for the feedback 🙂

I don't think this is something I want to include in the package.

Could I perhaps direct you to something like (this isn't me endorsing the package, but more offering an alternative) https://pub.dev/packages/back_button_interceptor

You could utilise this on your lock screen to then call AppLock.of(context)!.didUnlock(); in the given callback.

Would you mind explaining the use case for showing the lock screen to the user but allowing them to cancel it?

Sure, In my app I have many buttons on a screen which will do various tasks and I want those tasks to be protected, so I am asking to unlock the lock screen if a user clicks on any of the buttons. But there is a high chance that a button is clicked by mistake so I want a back button on the lock screen.

Anyway, I found a way to do that. You can close this issue if you are not going to implement back button.
Thanks.

It sounds more like a "cancel" function - which might be something I'd be happy to include...

I'm going to rename the issue and revisit.
