New triggers/actions

[Nawepej]

Hey, developer. Thank you for all the hard work you are putting into this wonderful app! If I may ask, would it be possible to implement new triggers/actions/constraints based on new Android OS functions? I am referring to the extra dim feature, block/allow mic access and camera access, and maybe even for bedtime mode? Also, any chance NFC on/off could be added as a trigger? Thank you!

extra dim feature

This can be changed using System Settings action. Note that it's inside the secure settings table, so you would need to use ADB shell to grant MacroDroid necessary permission, or have root.

Thanks for the reply. I know that 'reduce_bright_colors_activated' is for extra dim, but what about the others?

Thanks for the reply. I've downloaded it and looked over the strings, but I honestly can't tell which is which. I thought zen_mode would be either bedtime or focus, but it won't activate when I tried testing the action. I also can't tell under what name camera and microphone permission is.

I don't think the app is showing me all permissions. For example, the one for extra dim, which I managed to find in a MacroidDroid template, is in the secure table, but I couldn't find it in the list this app generated.

Not all settings do something when changed. It could be used when the device starts, or could be purely informative (for other apps to know).

I understand. Any way to find the working strings, though?

Use Automate's setting finder (I'm working on a macro to make this in MD).

The Automate settings finder was also toast, but I think it would be easier to check the settings later if the values are saved in variables or logs.

I've used it, but it doesn't show anything when I turn on/off mic/camera access. Also, the settings and values are different each time I toggle bedtime mode. It's not a simple 0/1 value, heck sometimes it's not even the same settings.

Maybe it simply means there is no setting at all.

Then what is it if not a setting?

Not all settings are stored in those settings tables, some may be stored in databases in the settings storage app or elsewhere.

And where do I find those settings?

You.. don't ? Unless someone here has a solution
