Automagic Forum

Hi Everyone,
I recently bought a fitbit flex wrist pedometer and I don’t want it to count my steps while im driving. There is an app I use DriveBit and its easy to use but I want to take it one step further.
I Would like to take it to the next level and do the following:
1. When phone connects to car Bluetooth (easy enough to do)
2. Load DriveBit (easy enough to do)
3. When loaded start the timer in DriveBit
4. When the car is off (disconnected from the phone) the timer stops. Drivebit auto uploads to Fitbit after the timer is stopped so that should not be an issue.
Its easy enough to get Drivebit to load but is there a way to access in app features or functions?
If I can get this to work itd be awesome and I don’t have to worry about the few hundred steps I log extra when I drive.
Thanks in advance

EDIT: just to clarify for those who dont know what a FitBit is its a wrist pedometer that tracks your steps and other things. Unfortunately when you drive your not walking and it can count the bumps on the road or when you turn as steps. This way I can auto say im driving so it wont interfere with my daily step count and be more accurate. Hope this all makes sense :O

Hi,

You can usually not access or invoke internal features of other apps directly from Automagic.
You could try to automatically press some buttons of the other app using Automagics action Control UI when the other app uses the regular Android input controls like buttons and text fields. You could also execute some shell commands with action Execute Root Command: input tap x y to simulate touch input (requires a rooted device).
This page lists some examples: DIY-Actions: Execute Command, Execute Root Command. You can also use the [...]-button in action Execute Root Command to compose input commands.

Regards,
Martin
