Trigger actions to be automatically executed on specific events, such as e.g. time, location, key-presses -- or even sensors, connected networks, etc. This tag is for "generic" questions on the field; please check the tag-wiki for more specific tags.
Android allows for a lot of things to be automated, though some of them require the device to be rooted. While it can do some things itself with more recent versions (e.g. switching to an energy-saving mode when your battery runs low), the real interesting stuff requires a third-party-app – of which again are plenty available.
So if your question is about how to automate something, without a specific app/solution in mind, the automation tag should be used. But before applying it to your question, please check if we don't have a better match:
