Send data automatically (but only on WiFi)

[skinkie]

Description

The option is not very clear. But I would prefer that data is only sent automatically when connected to a WiFi network.

Suggested implementation

Either add a comment how this function works, or implement an extra option "when".

WorkManager is used for sending the reports and it doesn't support running the worker only when Wi-Fi is connected. There is support for requiring an unmetered network connection (which in practice is usually a Wi-Fi network): https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/work/NetworkType#UNMETERED

Would this work for your use case?

Unmetered is indeed 'good enough'.
