Emergency contact details in Android's Lock Screen
I have thinking about this for some time now.
What if I loose my expensive Android phone or I am in a emergency.
I have screen locked on my Android. So if a good Samaritan finds it or me in emergency there is no way for him to know my details.
I found couple of apps available in the Android market which show your contact details in your lock screen.
But I have found a easier way to do this.
I added my contact details in my wallpaper itself. I placed it at the bottom of it, so when the phone is not locked these details are hidden behind the menu bar, thus not affecting my home screen aesthetics. But when
the phone is locked, it appears at the bottom of the screen. It was little tricky as the text was hiding behind the "Emergency Call" button. But after a couple of tries I got it perfect. Check out it out. i have reduced visibility of the contacts for privacy. Nice eh?
