Feature/schedule #9

Please consider adding scheduling feature. Motivation: the module is extremely useful for faking WiFi connection when mobile data is unlimited. However, some providers restrict unlimited mobile data by night hours (e.g. it's 01:00 to 07:00 for me), so scheduling the WiFi connection fake makes app work as if they have WiFi in 'unlimited' hours.

Unresolved issue: probably the module should send broadcast notifying about connectivity change (to make other apps discover the schedule start/end), but at the moment I found no proper way to do it. This might stop you from merging this, so if it doesn't bother you too much, we might discuss implementing this missing point.

Hi,

Looks neat, Yes, it'd be better to get the connectivity change broadcast working.

@lemonsqueeze, do you know a proper way to do it?

As far as I understand, it should be android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE, but is there a way to send this system broadcast from 3rd party app?

If there's no way to do it, quickly turning mobile data off and on may do the trick, though seems undesirable.

I don't, but i'd be surprised if someone didn't figure a way to do it with xposed.
