Hey Guys,

Is Pythonista able to block the call function ?
My problem is when i'm in my app and i get a call (normal or WhatsApp) it hang up my App and i need to begin at Start.

@DavinE not sure that helps but you could start a shortcut which sets the airplane mode

@cvp
I need WIFI xD

can Pythonista set the airplane mode ?

@DavinE I don't know for Pythonista, but since iOS 11, desactivating airplane does not désactivante wifi nor Bluetooth. Thus if you launch a shortcut from Pythonista, you could thus stop your telephone activity

okay nice Idea perfect!
Thanks again @cvp

Is it possible go back to Pythonista ?

I don't think so but your shortcut could relaunch Pythonista with an argument telling to your Pythonista script that it is called back

I think that it could be possible in Objectivec, but it could be not allowed by an Apple rule because it uses a private API.

Code to get airplane mode but set does not work

from objc_util import *

RadiosPreferences = ObjCClass('RadiosPreferences').alloc().init()
print(RadiosPreferences.airplaneMode())

# set does not work
RadiosPreferences.setAirplaneMode_(False)
RadiosPreferences.synchronize()

Perhaps one solution.

YOu can, with the Shortcuts app, create an automatic shortcut "activate airplane mode" when you receive a mail from your-self with a particular subject.
And your Pythonista script has only to send tHis mail when you want to set airplane mode.

I'm proud of me 😂 but I did not test it.

There is also an automation, when App is open.

@7upser yes but perhaps you don't want it each time you open Pythonista, for instance during development.

good argument

@7upser finally, when you work on Pythonista and you don't want To be interrupted by a phone call, why not use control center, this one does not interrupt your Pythonista App.

@7upser I read one more time your initial post, and you speak also about WhatsApp, and this one works in wifi, thus will still function if Airplane mode is activated.

@cvp It wasn't my Thread 😛

But you are right Phone calls and WhatsApp are different things.
Maybe there is a url scheme for whats app, or a action for Shortcuts.

But back to what i'm interested in (call shortcut and return to pythonista)
This could work:

import ui
import webbrowser

class cUIView(ui.View):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        self.width, self.height = 200, 200
        self.background_color = 'silver'

        self.vBtn = ui.Button(title = 'test', name = 'btntest')
        self.vBtn.frame = (50, 50, 100, 100)
        self.vBtn.background_color = 'white'
        self.vBtn.action = self.btnAction
        self.add_subview(self.vBtn)

    def btnAction(self, vSender):
        url = 'shortcuts://x-callback-url/run-shortcut?name=testBluetoothOff&x-success=pythonista3://'
        webbrowser.open(url)

vView = cUIView()
vView.present('sheet')

I'm very sorry, sincerely

Sure but as you can start the same app normally or launched by Shortcuts, you have to check arguments to differentiate both types of calls

webbrowser.open(url)

vView.present('sheet')
```

Thats nice xD
Thanks
