    There is no option to choose default app for OPEN FILE action.

    Default on tap for NOTIFY action

    WhirlWolf · 0 · Posted

    Currently when a notification is created there is no default on tap functionality.

    We have to create another profile as NOTIFICATION CLICKED event and configure.

    We should be directly able to configure on NOTIFICATION CLICK functionality in the NOTIFY action itself.

    It will be great addition to tasker imo.

    Be able to show picture as not tinted for Progress Dialog

    SmartPhoneLover · 1 · Last reply by Abhishek M

    Currently, the Progress Dialog action, when configured to show an animation, it applies a tint to the configured picture, as shown below:

    I would like to be able to choose not to tint the picture(s), and instead show them with their original color scheme, as shown below:

    By this way, we can use our own set of icons to create a much more customized animation for the loader image.

    Show a portion of comment section in profile and task tab.

    urkindagood · 0 · Posted

    Preferably the first paragraph of the comment section (rather than limited characters), displayed under their name and this option should be accessible a toggle.

    This way, user could leave a brief description of their tasks and profiles and read them right away.

    Foor Loop Help

    Daniel Polniak · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello, I am trying to make Tasker do, what i believe, is a fairly simple task.

    I am using Tasker in my car. I have an aftermarket headunit that is running Android on it.

    What I would like is, when the headunit turns on, I would like Tasker to wait 2 minutes, then open an app. "Waze" app to be exact. Thats it.

    I was able to make this happen by simply creating a task with the following:

    1. Wait -> 2 minutes

    2. Launch App -> Waze

    However, this proved to be unreliable because the aftermarket headunit does not

    Something like a try-catch block

    HippoMan · 0 · Posted

    When writing code for a task, it would be useful to be able to implement something like a try-catch block, similar to this ... try   action-1   action-2   action-3   ... more actions and logic ... catch    action-a    action-b    action-c    ... perform these actions and logic if    any of the actions in the "try" block fail;    otherwise, skip this "catch" block if all    of the "try" actions succeed ... end-try-catch

    It doesn't necessarily have to be this exact try/catch syntax, but whatever the exact syntax, similar functionality would be useful and

    Bypass lockscreen restrictions using Google Assistant from lockscreen

    Redpill · 0 · Posted

    Infuriatingly, Google restricted its own Google Assistant's functionality from lockscreens, with the assistant now frequently replying "You'll need to unlock your phone for that" ...even for things as simple as asking Google for directions/navigation!

    If someone had the smarts to figure out a way to utilize Tasker (with ADB) to bypass these limitations, that would be PHENOMENAL.

    Perhaps Tasker/ADB could trick the assistant to thinking the screen is still unlocked?

    Dialog actions crashes Tasker in some circumstances

    SmartPhoneLover · 1 · Last reply by SmartPhoneLover

    I would like to report a possible bug related, to the following actions, when used in the same task (or different), but when one of them is executed just after the other without any delay in between:

    • Progress Dialog (1st)
    • Pick Input Dialog (2nd)

    It sometimes happens, and in other situations doesn't.

    Direct-Purchase AutoApps License Activation Issues on Light Phone II

    TRod · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    I'm using a Light Phone II, which is an feature phone running Android 8.1.0. I have the Direct Purchase version of Tasker activated on it and running fine, but I can't get AutoInput, or any other AutoApps for that matter, to activate so I can use them.

    When I enter any of my 7 unused licenes from the license portal at https://taskernet.com/?licenses, it says "Device Already Bound to a Different License." I have my WiFi activated on it and confirmed working, thinking that maybe it just needed to authenticate things itself, but after multiple reboots it still gives the same error, and

    Profile starts but action does not trigger

    Walter · 0 · Posted

    Hi,

    I created a location profile that runs when I back to home. It starts always correctly. The linked Action for this profile is an Http Request (GET) to a specific address. If I run manually the Action in tasker It works fine, but it doesn't work automatically when profile starts.

    This is my exported task (obviously in the http address I replaced my personal data like home coordinates and http key with fake chars): 

    I know that Ifttt has it's own location trigger but it works very bad. So after more and more tentatives I'm trying the Tasker way.

    intent specify path

    ttschnz · 0 · Posted

    I propose extending Tasker's "Intent" feature to not only react to URL schemes but also to allow users to edit the "android:path" component of the URL. Specifically, I would like to have the ability to trigger Tasker tasks when clicking on a link that leads to a URL like "https://www.mywebsite.com/customcommand," where the "android:path" component would be "www.mywebsite.com/customcommand."

    Use Case: The primary use case for this feature enhancement is to enable Tasker to execute tasks on my Android device without actually opening the corresponding website. For example, if I click on a link that directs to "https://www.mywebsite.com/customcommand," Tasker would recognize the

    Tasker tasks don't work without internet connection [ Direct-Purchase Version ]

    Israel · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi, I have a Direct-Purchase licence registered on an Android device dedicated to old games and in this device the tasks do not work without an internet connection. I know that the Google Play version has this limitation but does Direct-Purchase also have this limitation ?

    If I export the task to APK can it work without internet connection?

    Depreciated actions should be more noticeable.

    Xeno · 0 · Posted

    Please make text a different color (maybe yellow?) for actions that are depreciated, similar to how you have some in red if unavailable on that phone. 

    that will make it easier to select their replacement the first time without looking for it. 

    thanks for all your hard work

    Tasker ask for confirmation to run a task from google assistant

    Emilio Jimenez · 0 · Posted

    Hi!

    Sorry if my English is not good. 

    I'm new to tasker and I created 2 tasks, CrossFit and test.

    If I delete one of the tasks and I ask Google assistant to run the only task that's left, it does it with no issues, but if I have 2 or more tasks and ask Google assistant to run one of them, a pop up appear asking for confirmation of which task to run and an arrow pointing to the one I asked in the first place (see screenshot below)

    Required Permissions in App Factory

    StaffanT · 0 · Posted

    The "Required Permissions" list presented by the App Factory while creating a kid app is preventing the devs from removing "required" permissions. This means that some permissions that by Google are classified as "sensitive" will be present in the APK even if not actually needed by the app, requiring full verification by Google, which may take long time for no reason. During the app testing stage it should be up to the dev to determine which permissions ACTUALLY are required for the app to function properly, not (what sometimes seems to be the case) by generalized "guesses" by the app

    Tasker on WearOS please?

    Felix · 0 · Posted

    This post is probably not within the scopes of what Tasker should be able to do, but I would be happy if it can happen.

    I have AutoWear already and don't get me wrong, it is a great tool. However, versus the average individual who has their phone and watch synced all the time, I am not really into that. I like my device to be self-sufficient. One of the things I liked about AutoWear was it allowed me to deploy somewhat of a miniature routine to the watch in the background. For example, I used the AutoWear (default buttons)

    Display -> Status Bar Incorrectly Warns that Accessibility is Needed

    Dan · 0 · Posted

    On my Pixel 6a running Android 13, I have found that the Display -> Status Bar action incorrectly wants me to enable accessibility for it to work. I understand that on some devices accessibility is in fact needed.

    This results in a few interesting quirks:

    1. When creating a Status Bar action, if it is set to Expanded, Tasker warns that I need to enable the accessibility service. But the action works fine to open the notification shade even if I decline to enable accessibility.
    2. If the notification shade is open, the Status Bar -> Collapsed action works as expected. But

    Alert -> Notify: Variable Values in Action Label Not Passed To %caller for Action

    Dan · 0 · Posted

    When using a variable to create part or all of the Action Label for an action within the Notify action, the notification correctly displays the variable value in the label. However, when clicking the action label to perform an action, the performed action's %caller variable displays the variable name instead of the variable value.

    Steps to Reproduce:

    1. Create a task with the Alert -> Notify action.
    2. In the Notify action, scroll down to the Actions section and add an action.
    3. Give the action a label that includes a variable.
    4. Set the action to Alert -> Flash. Set the Flash action's
