Silent Night – Script for Android’s ASE to silence the ringer at night
March 8th, 2010 Posted in Uncategorized
I coded a little Python script for ASE which silences the phone’s ringer at a specified time, and un-silences it afterwards. Perfect for when you want to receive phone calls in the morning, but don’t want to hear the email chirp when you get spam at 2am.
Details are on the project page.

Love it!
This is one of the main things I liked Locale for. Now I’m imagining that I could probably write similar scripts for things like changing my ringtone when i get to work, etc.
Thanks very much!

I don’t see anything in the Python API for changing the ringtone, just the ringer volume.
If you feel like learning it, apparently Beanshell scripts can directly access the java libraries.

Ah, it’s true – I started trying to mash up your script with http://www.beresourceful.net/~rusty/blog/2009/08/droidtrack-a-tracks-collector-for-android-phones/ and I’m starting to see the holes. I guess some of that is fixable by just expanding what is exposed in ASE…

You know, I just noticed that the ruby is actually jruby – maybe it has the same ability…
