Hey, everyone. Here's a small app I made for myself and figured I might as well post it for anyone else who may want it. It's fully free, and does not track any of your information (which some similar apps out there required permissions I didn't view as necessary for this kind of app, and therefor a little fishy). I made the app to be a convenience thing and battery saver (I only want my wifi adapter to be on at home, and not turn back on again at work), so I'm open to any feature requests people may have to make it more convenient for you.
I call it Auto Wifi, here's a Play store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...games.autowifi
Going on the description I wrote for the Play Store:
Auto Wifi controls the wifi on your phone for you, turning it on and off as needed. This is both convenient and saves you battery life. Want to have your wifi turn on at home, but not at school or work? We can do that for you.
You have full control over how it will work, with control over everything from the scan interval times to which wifi ssid's to connect to. The optional notification setting helps keep Auto Wifi open in the background, and is as non-intrusive as possible. We hate unnecessary notifications just as much as you do.
It operates using 3 selectable modes:
"Auto on, auto off" - this mode will shut your wifi off when no signal nearby saved access point is detected, and turns it on whenever any wifi access point you've connected to before is nearby.
"Selective on, auto off" - this mode will only automatically turn your wifi on when your device can connect to an access point from a list that you select. Great for when you want your phone to connect to wifi at home but not at school or work. It will only shut your wifi off automatically when it isn't connected to anything, so you can still manually turn on your wifi without disruption.
"Auto off only" - lastly, this mode will only automatically turn wifi off, so you can have full manual control over when it turns back on again.
Description of permissions required:
"Run at startup" - as the name implies, this is needed so we can start Auto Wifi at device start up.
"Access Network State" and "Access Wifi State" - these are needed so we can check if you are connected to a wifi network. This lets us know when to turn wifi on or off, otherwise known as the 'Auto' part of Auto Wifi.
"Change Wifi State" - this is required so we can actually turn your wifi adapter on and off for you, otherwise this app would be pointless.
