Droid Automation by XDA member wakdev is an app that allows you to perform and automate repetitive actions and tasks on your Android device.
It is very easy to use - create profiles, add tasks and select your triggers. That is all there is to it.
Well, not quite. There is a huge number of automation options available in this app but some of the options are only available with a rooted device and others require the PRO version. But there are still plenty to play around with before deciding whether to upgrade to the PRO version.
Once installed and a profile is created there are two options where you will be making the choices of what you want automate - Tasks & Triggers.
Choose a Trigger:
Choose a Task:
The triggers are self explanatory. When your Android device enters any of the given states this will trigger a task that you have selected.
You can choose from a comprehensive list of tasks, but as previously mentioned you may need to be on a rooted device or have the PRO version for some to work. But the tasks available to non-rooted and non-PRO devices will still mean you have a lot of options available.
Here is a list tasks that are available to devices that aren't rooted and don't have the PRO:
- Networks
- Enable/Disable Wifi
- Enable/Disable Bluetooth
- Enable/Disable Mobile Data
- Connect to a Bluetooth Device
- Enable/Disable Wifi Hotspot
- Sound & Media
- Set Volume (media, ringtone, notifications etc.)
- Display
- Toggle Brightness Mode
- Set Brightness
- Set Display Sleep Timeout
- Auto-Rotate
- Enable/Disable Notification Light
- Configuration
- Change Sound Profile
- Set Alarm
- Enable/Disable Car Mode
- Set Timer
- Select input Method
- Other
- Launch Application
- Launch URL
- Run Tools
- Dial Number
- Make a Phone Call
- Compose SMS
- Send SMS
- Compose Email
- Open Geolocation
- Open Address
- Run Tasker
- Text to Speech
- Event Pop-up
- Expand Notification Bar
- Uninstall Apps
As you can see for a free version on a non-rooted device you have plenty to play around with and the app is definitely worth playing around with. The interface and setup is a lot easier to use than Tasker - I know it can't do as much as Tasker but these are the sort of tasks a novice Tasker user might try to setup (it was when I first started with Tasker).
The PRO app, which I am a bit unsure as to how to upgrade to - I think it is in the 'about' section under 'Buy me a coffee' offers a whole host of other features but I will leave those for you to discover yourself.
