Welcome to Android Forums.

Is your device root-ed? What Android version are you using?

If you go into Tasker to create a task and choose Net a dialog appears.
Mobile is probably red.
Click on Mobile and you will probably se that it is not supported.

This was a security change made to the operating System to prevent an abusive app from manipulating your data connection.

Tasker is not for everyone. If you want to get involved I would be happy to help. There are a number of videos you can Google that will help you get started.

Have you created a task yet in Tasker and executed it? Something simple like flashing "Hello World".

The way to lean Tasker is to start out simple ... get that to work ... add to it ... get that to work ... add to it ...

The ability to toggle Mobile Data was removed as a capability in Android systems. It is not possible to do unless you are root-ed. he reason is that you could install an app from a bad person who would assume control of your data connection.

I don't know that the problem is that you are trying to solve.

I use a Droid Turbo 2 under 6.0.1 that is not root-ed. I cannot toggle Mobile Data. I have found no reason to. I do toggle WiFi.

If I am within reception area of one of my office networks WiFi is on in my phone and it automatically connects.
Since I visit customer sites if WiFi was on the phone would contently try to connect to their WiFi network(s).
When I am away form my office Tasker turns WiFi off and Mobile is then in use.

is there any way to toggle mobile data without rooting with tasker or any other app on specific time shedule.

Thom · Feb 17, 2017

After 4.2 Airplane toggle was not possible in Tasker unless you are root-ed.

Toggling mobile in 6.0 is not possible.

What you are asking to do is not possible.

Yes, there is a way, and it involves using Tasker and AutoInput (paid plugin for Tasker). Perhaps TouchTask (which I think is free) instad of AutoInput might also work. But it's not an easy task for a begginer.

Essentially, without having root access, there is no direct way. What the plugins will do, is to simulate touch events on your screen. I'm thinking the form: unlock device, screen on, draw quick settings, select mobile data, enable/disable, close quick settings, lock screen.

I'm sure if you search the internet, you'll find a solution to it. You should do that before committing into buying a plugin!

For most part though, I agree with Thom. Tell us what your exact problem is, as it sounds there may be a better solution.

Yes ... being new is a constraining factor. The manipulation of data entry with Auto Input is something that a Tasker user with a year's experience could address.

It would REALLY be great to know what this project is trying to achieve.

AutoInput has a 7-day trial, so here is the description and an XML file to get you started (remove the .txt extension before importing to Tasker.)

Remember to change the field value for your carrier/tile name.

Code:

Toggle Mobile Data (38)
    <Open quick settings.>
    A1: AutoInput Global Action [ Configuration:Action: Quick Settings Timeout (Seconds):20 ]
    <Allow for some time for quick settings to be drawn.>
    A2: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:3 Minutes:0 Hours:0 Days:0 ]
    <Tap on the quick settings tile for mobile data. Change the value ("Carrier/tile name") to the title of the tile or the name of your carrier (whatever is displayed there)>
    A3: AutoInput Action [ Configuration:Type: Text
Value: Carrier/tile name
Action : Click
Is Tasker Action: false
Check Screen State: false Timeout (Seconds):20 Continue Task After Error:On ]
    <Allow for some time for mobile data to change screen.>
    A4: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:2 Minutes:0 Hours:0 Days:0 ]
    <Toggle mobile data.>
    A5: AutoInput Action [ Configuration:Type: Text
Value: Mobile data
Action : Click
Is Tasker Action: false
Check Screen State: false Timeout (Seconds):20 Continue Task After Error:On ]
