OpenVPN Support Forum

I'm developing an Android app and I need to interact with OpenVPN Connect. Using intents, I'm able to launch OpenVPN Connect and connect to a desired profile: Unfortunately, this solution implies I must know the profile name to connect to; so what I'm looking for is a way to get from OpenVPN Connect the list of imported profiles.

How can I do that?

Thanks.

Andrea

Intent openVPN = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW");
openVPN.setPackage("net.openvpn.openvpn");
openVPN.setClassName("net.openvpn.openvpn", "net.openvpn.openvpn.OpenVPNClient");
openVPN.putExtra("net.openvpn.openvpn.AUTOSTART_PROFILE_NAME", "VPN_PROFILE_NAME");
startActivityForResult(openVPN, 0);

Hello Karumansyah,
your code is the same I wrote.
What I want to do is to programmatically get from OpenVPN Connect app the list of the imported profiles, in order to select one of these profiles and connect to it, thanks to the code I wrote (and you wrote again).
So you don't help me.

Andrea

Can someone tell me if it is possible to do what I need about profiles?
Thanks.

Andrea

Hello TinCanTech,
I suppose you are saying me to use shorcuts. Is it correct?

Andrea

So TinCanTech, did you mean the use of shortcuts?

Then you need help from a developer .. Read the FAQ

Dear TinCanTech,
I read the FAQ and I think the only relevant section (for my case) is:

Can I control the VPN from outside the app?
A: Yes, using shortcuts. Go to Menu / Add Shortcut to add a shortcut to your home page. Shortcuts can be created for:
connecting a specific profile,
disconnecting, and
launching the app

In the previous replies, I asked you if you meant that information: I don't understand why you wrote that sarcastic sentence. This is a support forum, then if you don't want to support me, please don't reply. Your sarcasm is useless.

My reply is not sarcastic at all .. and the answer you are looking for is in the FAQ.

My apologies for thinking you were sarcastic.
However, I must admit I don't understand why you wrote:

Then you need help from a developer ..

I read the FAQ and I found that only passage about controlling the VPN from outside the OpenVPN Connect app.
But I can't use shortcuts...

You wrote the answer is in the FAQ. If I refer to shorcuts, the answer is: NO.

Do you confirm my theory?

Please, can someone help me?
