Any Macro tool for SmartPhone?

[Guest AllanHvass]

Hi there,

Anyone aware of a macro utility for the SmartPhone? I.e. a tool that can simulate key presses to automate repititious tasks, e.g. switching of settings, etc.

For my use, it could be very basic, i.e. just manually created input files that contain the keys to press, but it could be more advanced with e.g. a macro recorder, branching logic, etc.

Notice, I know about application shortcuts, that's not what's needed here.

Sincerely,

Allan Hvass

xbar is a task switcher which allows creating macros, but I don't know how powerful it is

Check out gamesforsmartphones.co.uk there is a free beta prog called autosmartphone that you might like. Just be careful with it lol!

Hi Jamma14 - that looks exactly like what I was looking for. Anyone got a full list of the key codes for the various keys on a SmartPhone, that's what that app needs.

Masure - Thanks for the input. I was looking a XBar previously, but as far as I could see, the type of macros xBar offered didn't allow simulating keypresses, only starting/stopping apps at specific times / events. Perhaps I'm wrong?

Oh, one more issue: I can't seem to make File Explorer make an association to .shk files, even though all the way through the interface, this seems to be the correct way to do it. Thus, I can't actually RUN any scripts. Any ideas?

I don't know how to with stock file explorer cause i'm using smart explorer.

With smart explorer :

File>Open with>Select an app (if it's not in list, you can add like this : menu>add to list) and check always run with this app.

It makes the file association in registry but i don't know how .

Yeah - solved it by using "File Explorer" from www.binarys.com. The built in "File Manager" exposes the same feature, but for reason it doesn't work.

Thanks.
