Control flow: If clause

Introduction

If statement

The If statement is available form the ‘Add Action’ menu part ‘Conditions/Loops’ and comes along with a terminating End IF.

This action allows to execute a set of subsequent actions according to specific condition(s). The possible conditions are the same as constraints and are tested in exactly the same way, with logical connectors 'AND' (default one) or 'OR' in case of multiple conditions.

In case the condition is met and a number of subsequent actions should be executed while different actions should be executed if the condition was not met an Else statement has to be implemented.

Else statement

Else will only become available by selecting the If statement again and then selecting the ‘Add else clause’ from the ‘Set Variable’ menu. In case further constrains should be invoked ‘Add else/If clause’ or ‘Add else/If confirmed clause’ can be used.

If statements my be nested that is within If and End If there might be other pairs of If and End If.

The brightness control may not work as expected on some newer Android devices (Android 9+). Try to enable this option.

The wildcards '*' and '?'

*

* stands for any number of character (from 0 to any, same as '.*' in Regex).

?

? is for 1 and only 1 mandatory character (same as '.{1}' in Regex).

• Tick the box Enter regular expression matching if the typed text follows Regex syntax, far more powerful than plain text with or without wildcards (for advanced users).
