How to Automate Android with the Automate App

  • In a past tips and tricks Tuesday, I showed iOS users how to automate tasks on their iPhones and a bunch of you asked if there was some way to automate Android in a similar fashion. So I looked into it and it turns out, there are a bunch of Android automation apps in the Play Store. One of the most popular is called Tasker, which you might be familiar with, and it's great, but I found another one I think might be better for people just starting out with Android automation.

    Thank you, this app works!! I watched part of your video, then searched for and found an auto-caller Flow, then edited it to periodically call and keep alive my backup GoogleVoice number. Thank you again for explaining the logic behind how Automate works, with Flow modules and Fibers to connect them.

      Use the "interact" funtion and sympy create a loop (conect the bottem to the top of the block) you will olso have to figure out what the coördenates are of the point you want it to click, i advise messing with it a bit and seeing where it clicks.

    Thanks. Good but I would have appreciated a flow that starts based on an event as opposed to having to select the flow shortcut or selecting start from within the Automate app.
    I read that selecting start on the flow is a 1 time thing but I presume that is (at least) each time the phone starts? I want a flow to be able to start automatically when the phone starts.

  • @JohnDoe-cd6ro
    @JohnDoe-cd6ro Před 4 lety +3

    I've searched everywhere, high and low for this answer and can't seem to find it.... So open call any automate users.
    I have always used ES File Explorer and like it because I can play entire music folders or caches by long pressing the folders and playing them. It's simple and convenient especially when playing discography folders or playlist folders without having to actually create a playlist. I can just drag and drop and boom I got a playlist. So I have setup automate to open ES File Explorer as soon as I connect to a Bluetooth. Is it possible to set it up where it can open up my music folder automatically as soon as it connects? That'd be way more convenient. Thank you so much if you know the answer to this and how to do it. You've gained a partner in crime for life.

      Easy. When device not interactive, turn off data. When device interactive turn on. I'll make a flow so you can see what it looks like. Search for data off when phone off.
      Edit: that search doesn't show up, search for shutdown prevention, and look at my account, it should be there.

      BadMadPlay set up a delay at 24 hours then add a block "interact touch" then set the desired position of the tap. PS. The position must be in percentage. If you don't know the percentage, enable the show pointer location in developer settings then look for your location. Then after that use the formula (posx * resolutionx) * 100 and (posy * resolution y) * 100. What this does is convert the position into percentage. Thank you for reading.

      you don't need to root phone but you will need Android 7 and higher.
      those versions have the ability to automate taps without root
