Android phone - assign new actions to volume keys

With a useful app you can assign new functions to the volume buttons on your smartphone and take photos at the push of a button. That's how it's done:

1. Install the "QuickClick" app on your android.
2. Open the app and activate QuickClick by pulling the slide switch at the top to "On".
3. Use the large plus symbol next to "Click new action" to select an action. Here you have the choice between camera, dictation machine, flash light and much more.
4. In the next step, you configure the action more precisely and, for example, define a storage location.
5. Then you decide on an action with the volume buttons. For example, this can be a double tap to start an action.
6. The desired action can be announced in the next step, for example by vibration or sound.
7. Finally, tap on "Finish".
