How to create shortcut to an activity?
(self.askandroid)
Sure, I can guide you through the process. Since you mentioned both Tasker and MacroDroid, I'll outline the process for each.
-
Tasker:
-
In Tasker, you would first need to create a new task. You can do this by going to the "Tasks" tab and clicking the "+" button.
-
Then, give your task a name. Something like "Open Internet Connectivity Panel" might be appropriate.
-
In your new task, you'll need to add an action. To do this, click the "+" button inside your task.
-
You want to use the "Send Intent" action. This can be found under the "System" category.
-
In the "Action" field of the "Send Intent" action, you would put "android.settings.WIRELESS_SETTINGS". This is the intent that opens the wireless & networks settings page, which includes the internet connectivity settings.
-
You can leave the other fields blank, as they are not needed for this intent.
-
Finally, you can link this task to a shortcut on your home screen by long pressing on an empty space on your home screen, selecting "Widgets", and then finding the "Task Shortcut" widget from Tasker.

MacroDroid:
-
In MacroDroid, you would start by creating a new macro. This can be done from the main screen by clicking the "+" button.
-
For the trigger, you can select "Shortcut Launched", and then give your shortcut a name.
-
For the action, you want to use the "Launch Activity" action. This can be found under the "Applications" category.
-
In the "Launch Activity" action, you need to find the settings app, and then find the activity that corresponds to the internet connectivity settings. This might be something like "com.android.settings.Settings$WirelessSettingsActivity", but it can vary between devices.
-
Once you have set up the action, you can save your macro. It will automatically create a shortcut on your home screen that triggers the macro when clicked.

I hope this helps! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
