Start app - change Apn -stop wlan ...

[Manz...@pt.lu]

Hallo,

I want to create an flow, whenI start an specific app the wlan is tured off and the apn is switched to an specific apn. and when I stop the app the app is resetted to the other apn.

Is that possible with automate?

There's no block to check the current APN.
Use the Mobile operator block to check the the current operator.

The Mobile operator check won't help because it is an different APN with the same operator.

But what I found under App start --> Action ="android.settings.APN_SETTINGS". Could I use this? When yes how?

[Henrik "The Developer" Lindqvist]

Sure, if you only wish to open the APN settings screen.

What do you want to achieve with determining a change of current APN?

Yes i my account i have 2 apn and i want to change the apn when i use a specific app

Changing the APN settings require the android.permission.WRITE_APN_SETTINGS permission, which can obtained on a rooted device.
If you have a rooted device you can modify the APNs using the Shell command superuser block by executing the "content" command:

usage: adb shell content [subcommand] [options]

usage: adb shell content insert --uri <URI> [--user <USER_ID>] --bind <BINDING> [--bind <BINDING>...]
  <URI> a content provider URI.
  <BINDING> binds a typed value to a column and is formatted:
  <COLUMN_NAME>:<TYPE>:<COLUMN_VALUE> where:
  <TYPE> specifies data type such as:
  b - boolean, s - string, i - integer, l - long, f - float, d - double
  Note: Omit the value for passing an empty string, e.g column:s:
  Example:
  # Add "new_setting" secure setting with value "new_value".
  adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/secure --bind name:s:new_setting --bind value:s:new_value

usage: adb shell content update --uri <URI> [--user <USER_ID>] [--where <WHERE>]
  <WHERE> is a SQL style where clause in quotes (You have to escape single quotes - see example below).
  Example:
  # Change "new_setting" secure setting to "newer_value".
  adb shell content update --uri content://settings/secure --bind value:s:newer_value --where "name='new_setting'"

usage: adb shell content delete --uri <URI> [--user <USER_ID>] --bind <BINDING> [--bind <BINDING>...] [--where <WHERE>]
  Example:
  # Remove "new_setting" secure setting.
  adb shell content delete --uri content://settings/secure --where "name='new_setting'"

usage: adb shell content query --uri <URI> [--user <USER_ID>] [--projection <PROJECTION>] [--where <WHERE>] [--sort <SORT_ORDER>]
  <PROJECTION> is a list of colon separated column names and is formatted:
  <COLUMN_NAME>[:<COLUMN_NAME>...]
  <SORT_ORDER> is the order in which rows in the result should be sorted.
  Example:
  # Select "name" and "value" columns from secure settings where "name" is equal to "new_setting" and sort the result by name in ascending order.
  adb shell content query --uri content://settings/secure --projection name:value --where "name='new_setting'" --sort "name ASC"

usage: adb shell content call --uri <URI> --method <METHOD> [--arg <ARG>]
       [--extra <BINDING> ...]
  <METHOD> is the name of a provider-defined method
  <ARG> is an optional string argument
  <BINDING> is like --bind above, typed data of the form <KEY>:{b,s,i,l,f,d}:<VAL>
