Android may soon add a new shortcut to launch Google Wallet

[phillynews215]

• Google is working on a new shortcut that’ll let you launch the default wallet app with a double press of the power button.
• Some code for this feature can be found in the latest Android beta and developer preview builds.
• Currently, double pressing the power button launches the default camera app.

A handy feature on many of the best Android phones is a double-tap power button gesture for quickly launching the camera, perfect for capturing fleeting moments. Some manufacturers let you customize this gesture, but this isn’t currently possible on Google Pixel phones. However, this may change in the future, as Google is developing an option to launch the default wallet app instead of the camera with the double-tap gesture.
