Is it possible to track
Mobile data/WiFi usage with tasker?

This is much easier now with the built in Java functionality. The functions built into the 'TrafficStats' class will easily return the information you need to build a data usage tracker. This only returns the usage since the last boot, so you'll have to store historical data yourself.

Could you elaborate on this please as I have built a data usage profile but its a bit 'sluggish' and sloppy

[Saad Thahim]

Thanks jay can you send me a link?

[Jay M]

Just Google his name you should find it easy.

Create as task to measure data usage. Select the 'Java Function' task from the Code group. In the 'Class or Object' field click the magnifying glass and find the 'TrafficStats' class. Then click the magnifying glass next to 'Function' and select whatever you want to monitor. In my case I use 'getMobileRxBytes' and then put the local Tasker variable %rx_bytes in the Return field. I do the same for 'getMobileTxBytes. The sum of %rx_bytes and %tx_bytes the the total mobile date used since the phone was last booted. I also keep a global Tasker variable %DataStored that is the amount of data used in the billing period before the last boot. So whenever my task runs I calculate the total amount of data used in the billing period as %DataTotal = %DataStored + %rx_bytes + %tx_bytes. I also run a task when the device boots that copies the value of %DataTotal to %DataStored if %rx_bytes has been reset.

Thanks.
I've tries this and it always returns 0?

[Richard Wallace]

Scrap that it does work. I forgot I'd just rebooted.
I assume the result is in bytes?
I can use variable convert to get it in megabytes. I only ask as I turned of WiFi and browsed for a few minutes, and according to rxbytes + txbytes I used 27MB of data! Just by browsing a few basic web pages?

[Richard Wallace]

Scrap that again. It only works if WiFi is disabled.

[Saad Thahim]

I have done exactly the same thing, but it didn't worked. 

It shows a red circle on the java funtion in task list.

[bdanders]

Sorry. I'm sure it's at least somewhat dependent on your Android version. Works fine for me on two different phones running CyanogenMod 4.4.4.

Hi, can some thing like this be done for call and SMS?

[Abdullah Alahdal]

I'm sure this can be achieved using sqlite to read data from log database

[Luis Gómez Guzmán]

How?

How?

Unfortunately, I updated my phone to Android 7 and it is not rooted at the moment to make this. But for sure, it can be done particularly for Calls. You can gather the duration of all calls during a period.
