B4A Library ToggleLibrary

Hey everyone,

This is an improvement of my TurnGPS Library.
ToggleLibrary is great to use in homescreen widgets or just normal apps.
With ToggleLibrary, you can currently do the following:

- Bluetooth: Toggle, Enable, Disable, Check.
- Airplane Mode: Toggle, Enable, Disable, Check.
- WiFi: Toggle, Enable, Disable, Check.
- GPS: Toggle, Enable, Disable, Check.
- DataConnection** (GPRS,...): Toggle, Enable, Disable, Check.
- RingerMode: Toggle, Enable, Disable. (Vibrate, Silent or Normal)
- Change Brightness
- Change Mediavolume.
- Reboot, GotoSleep, UserActivity, isScreenOn

There might still be a few bugs. Please let me know.

* With check, I mean that you can check if it's enabled(true) or disabled (false)
** Depends on device

Attached are the library files.
No sample is added because it is all self-explanatory.

Dim TGL As Toggle
TGL.Initialize()
TGL.TurnBluetoothOn

I don't think you are able to reboot a device unless it is rooted.

If you have a rooted device and the reboot command does not work, you could try to execute a shell (see this post:

http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4android-getting-started-tutorials/6886-running-shell-commands-superuser.html#post39820)

and then launch an "init 6" command (it might work - it is linux after all).

How can I give device rooted?

 

[moster67]

To root a device is something the owner of the device can do with help of particular scripts although the warrancy will probably be lost. So of course it is (probably) something you cannot do from an app - at least an app which will work on devices of different brands.

So in a few words, rebooting a device is something you will probably not be able to do since most users do not have rooted devices.

Sorry my eng


I saw that and missing
AddPermission (android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE)
for it to work well TurnDataConnectionOn!

Dim Toggle As TGL
TGL.Initialize ()
TGL.TurnDataConnectionOn

add to manifest editor:
AddPermission (android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE)

DataConnection doesn't work on my Defy motorola mobile

Hi,

I have test this Toggle Library on my Motorola Defy with android 2.2.2 but the DataConnection doesn't work.

I have put the permission AddPermission (android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE) on the manifest editor, but don't change the state of the network data by code (on my device).
I have tested the 'Wifi On' and 'Wifi Off' and it work fine,then:
¿Someone has tested this toggle library with Motorola Defy with the DataConnection On and Off?

Thanks in advance to all the community

A little demo zip file would help. Maybe a little layout with buttons?

Also, this is for Bluetooth, but most printers nowadays use wireless IP though a home network. Is it possible to print to an ip address?

[Erel]

android.permission.DEVICE_POWER is a protected permission. You cannot use it. Only system apps can use it (on unrooted devices).

Hi erel thx for ur answer, but how can i put the phone on sleep or simulate the lock button

 

[Erel]

There doesn't seem to be a way to programmatically turn the screen off in unrooted devices.

You can lock the screen with the Administrator library. See this thread: Device Administrator library

Does not give any answer ... Android 4.1.2 Galaxy notes, you have found a solution, I have to add something in the manifest.

Dim t As Toggle
t.Initialize()
t.TurnGPSOn

thank.

 

[peacemaker]

IMPORTANT WARNING:

Many devices cannot switch WiFi ON immediately, or at all, if .... Bluetooth is already ON !
And if to firstly switch BT off - WiFi is ON immediately.
Next BT also can be switched on OK.

Checked on 4 devices, with Android 2.3 and 4.0.x

 

[ttsolution]

I tested on Samsung Galaxy WIN with android 4.1.2
- Turn Bluetooth : Works well
- Turn GPS: Not Work
- Turn DataConnection: Not Work

Appreciate for any help.

Jonh,

I, too need to be able to turn on and off the GPS. I found the following code at Stackoverflow

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...gps-programmatically-in-android-4-0-and-above

that folks claim works in 4.0.

Now if someone can turn it in to something useable in B4A...

public void turnGPSOn()
{
    Intent intent = new Intent("android.location.GPS_ENABLED_CHANGE");
    intent.putExtra("enabled", true);
    this.ctx.sendBroadcast(intent);

    String provider = Settings.Secure.getString(ctx.getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.LOCATION_PROVIDERS_ALLOWED);
    if(!provider.contains("gps")){ //if gps is disabled
        final Intent poke = new Intent();
        poke.setClassName("com.android.settings", "com.android.settings.widget.SettingsAppWidgetProvider");
        poke.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_ALTERNATIVE);
        poke.setData(Uri.parse("3"));
        this.ctx.sendBroadcast(poke);


    }
}
// automatic turn off the gps
public void turnGPSOff()
{
    String provider = Settings.Secure.getString(ctx.getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.LOCATION_PROVIDERS_ALLOWED);
    if(provider.contains("gps")){ //if gps is enabled
        final Intent poke = new Intent();
        poke.setClassName("com.android.settings", "com.android.settings.widget.SettingsAppWidgetProvider");
        poke.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_ALTERNATIVE);
        poke.setData(Uri.parse("3"));
        this.ctx.sendBroadcast(poke);
    }
}
