Toggle settings in Android device or emulator.

A small and simple Android application that deals with the system settings. Then the application shuts down.

• Android SDK
• Java JDK
• Gradle

You may also consider using Android Studio to debug the code easily.

$ ./gradlew clean assembleDebug

You can also run gradlew installDebug to build and immediately deploy the app to a connected Android device or emulator.

You can install the apk through the Android Debug Bridge.

To install:

$ cd app/build/outputs/apk
$ adb install settings_apk-debug.apk

To uninstall:

$ adb uninstall io.appium.settings

Once installed on a device, you can change the wifi, data, animation and locale settings through the following commands:

To turn on wifi:

$ adb shell am broadcast -a io.appium.settings.wifi --es setstatus enable

To turn off wifi:

$ adb shell am broadcast -a io.appium.settings.wifi --es setstatus disable

To turn on data:

$ adb shell am broadcast -a io.appium.settings.data_connection --es setstatus enable

To turn off data:

$ adb shell am broadcast -a io.appium.settings.data_connection --es setstatus disable

To turn on animation:

$ adb shell am broadcast -a io.appium.settings.animation --es setstatus enable

To turn off animation:

$ adb shell am broadcast -a io.appium.settings.animation --es setstatus disable

Set particular locale:

$ adb shell am broadcast -a io.appium.settings.locale --es lang ja --es country JP
$ adb shell getprop persist.sys.locale # ja-JP
$ adb shell am broadcast -a io.appium.settings.locale --es lang zh --es country CN --es script Hans
$ adb shell getprop persist.sys.locale # zh-Hans-CN for API level 21+

You can set the Locale format, especially this feature support Locale(String language, String country) so far.

You can retrieve the current geo location by executing:

$ adb shell am broadcast -a io.appium.settings.location -n io.appium.settings/.receivers.LocationInfoReceiver

The first value in the returned data string is the current latitude, the second is the longitude and the last one is the altitude. An empty string is returned if the data cannot be retrieved (more details on the failure cause can be found in the logcat output).

Start sending scheduled updates (every 2s) for mock location with the specified values by executing: (API versions 26+):

$ adb shell am start-foreground-service --user 0 -n io.appium.settings/.LocationService --es longitude {longitude-value} --es latitude {latitude-value} [--es altitude {altitude-value}]

(Older versions):

$ adb shell am startservice --user 0 -n io.appium.settings/.LocationService --es longitude {longitude-value} --es latitude {latitude-value} [--es altitude {altitude-value}]

Running the command again stops sending the previously specified location and starts sending updates for the new mock location.

Stop sending new mocklocations and clean up everything (remove the mock location providers) by executing:

$ adb shell am stopservice io.appium.settings/.LocationService

You can simulate IME actions generation with this application. First, it is necessary to enable and activate the corresponding service:

adb shell ime enable io.appium.settings/.AppiumIME
adb shell ime set io.appium.settings/.AppiumIME

After the service is active simply focus any edit field, which contains an IME handler, and send /action_name_or_integer_code/ text into this field: adb shell input text '/action_name_or_integer_code/' (enclosing slashes are required). The following action names are supported (case-insensitive): normal, unspecified, none, go, search, send, next, done, previous. If the given action name is unknown then it is going to be printed into the text field as is without executing any action.

This input method allows to enter unicode values into text fields using adb shell input text terminal command. The idea is to encode the given unicode string into UTF-7 and then let the corresponding IME to decode and transform the actual input. This helper is also useful for automating applications running under Android API19 and older where sendText method of UiObject did not support Unicode properly. The actual implementation is based on the Uiautomator Unicode Input Helper by TOYAMA Sumio.

Use the following commands to enable the Unicode IME:

adb shell ime enable io.appium.settings/.UnicodeIME
adb shell ime set io.appium.settings/.UnicodeIME

• You have to specify the receiver class if app never executed before:

$ adb shell am broadcast -a io.appium.settings.wifi -n io.appium.settings/.receivers.WiFiConnectionSettingReceiver --es setstatus disable

• To change animation setting, app should be granted SET_ANIMATION_SCALE permission:

$ adb shell pm grant io.appium.settings android.permission.SET_ANIMATION_SCALE

• To change locale setting, app should be granted CHANGE_CONFIGURATION permission:

$ adb shell pm grant io.appium.settings android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION

• To get location, app should be granted ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission at least:

$ adb shell pm grant io.appium.settings android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION

• On Android 6.0+ you must enable the corresponding permissions for the app first. This can be done in application settings, Permissions entry.

• Switching mobile data on/off requires the phone to be rooted on Android 5.0+ ('su' binary is expected to be available on internal phone file system). Read this StackOveflow thread for more details.

Voila!

There are certain system services which cannot be accessed through an application. Two ones central here are airplane_mode and gps.
