This is a very simple app.
Mutes ringtones, notification sounds and media playback sounds, etc when tap an app to launch it.
To cancel muting, tap after selecting an app from the task list.
Also, external control is also possible. Please refer to the memo at the bottom.


Note:
If you delete from the task list while the sound is muted, it will remain muted. In that case, you can cancel mute mode by restart and exiting properly.
Depending on the Android version, additional permissions may be required. Look at the second screenshot.


Memo:
When the app launches by issuing an Intent from other apps, you can switch between mute or unmute.

Please set it referring to the setting value of the following app.

Package name: com.jjworkshop.android.taptosilent
Class Name: com.jjworkshop.android.taptosilent.MainActivity
Extra: name="silent" value="on" , "off" or "on_except_music"
"on_except_music" will zero all except the media volume.

For example, the program code that requests mute is as follows.

val packageName = "com.jjworkshop.android.taptosilent"
val className = "com.jjworkshop.android.taptosilent.MainActivity"
val intent = intent.setClassName(packageName, className)
intent.putExtra("silent", "on")
startActivity(intent)
v1.3.1
Added "on_except_music_alarm" as a running mode parameter.
