    Shizuku logcat not working on boot as expected

    Diagram874 · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I am using the thedjchi fork of Shizuku and when Shizuku is available, Tasker does not seem to be starting to read the Logcat; I have to trigger it manually (i.e. through either turning on the ADB WiFi Logcat setting on then off again or creating a new Logcat entry profile then cancelling)

    Same calendar entry but one is ignored

    Marcel · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    When I create two profiles, each with one calendar entry, and fill them identically, in my example, I only fill the description *🔇*, and in the second profile, the calendar entry differs only by the fact that an additional five-minute start early field was filled.

    Only the five-minute early entry is triggered 5 minute before, but not the normal calendar entry is not triggered when the date starts. Occasionally, it happens that the normal calendar entry is triggered only five minutes after the appointment starts.

    When I update the calendar entry and change for example the end time while the

    Update Sqlite Version

    James · 0 · Posted

    My next feature request is to update the sqlite version in the sql query action. I would like to use many of the date time functions only available in later versions.

    When I query "SELECT sqlite_version();" it outputs "3.39.2

    Compare the two user guides' pages on date and time functions:

    [3.39.2 - September 2022](https://web.archive.org/web/20220902005517/https://www.sqlite.org/lang_datefunc.html)

    [3.53.0 - Latest Version ](https://www.sqlite.org/lang_datefunc.html)

    The latest version has the timediff function that is missing from the earlier one. It also has 14 more substitutions and 9 more modifiers. Those would be very useful for a few of my projects. 

    Thanks!

    Icon packs in Image picker

    A.C. · 0 · Posted

    When some apps (KWGT is one such example) need to prompt the user to select an image, installed icon packs (as well as other image sources like gallery apps) show up in the Open from menu. If the user selects one, he can search through the icon pack to select any icon in it as an image.

    However, when Tasker needs the user to select an image, the resulting file picker does not contain image sources in the Open from view. It's just a plain file picker.

    As it is now, user must extract icons from packs and place the

    In Built Json Key value store with Variable value context trigger

    Sriram SV · 1 · Last reply by Von

    Tasker should have its own "No-SQL" like database to store and retrieve complex data rather than  just variables. 

    This will also allow variable backup and any data can be queried remotely without having to setup a profile for each of the stuff

    Pick photos action returns with uri that isn't useable when using send intent

    Moshe Siani · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    In short, using Pick Photo action returns with the images URI path but when trying to use it in send intent for example it fails. To fix that you need to get the full path using SQL Query like here:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/1enzuix/how_to_copy_filesmedia_from_your_android_phone_to/

    The example is shown below the title: "Pick Photos/Media dialog".

    Can you maybe have another variable/array inside the Pick Photos action that will hold the full path.

    As what title says, SQL Query gets a syntax error on using DROP COLUMN or DROP SQL Query: cursor exception: near "DROP" syntax error. Tested queries: ALTER TABLE "my_table" DROP COLUMN "my_column" ALTER TABLE my_table DROP COLUMN my_column ALTER TABLE "my_table" ALTER COLUMN "my_column" DROP ALTER TABLE my_table DROP my_column

    Fingerprint sensor event

    Lssong99 · 7 · Last reply by Andy

    Add a fingerprint event so Tasker can respond to fingerprint scanner from any screen.

    This will enable things like turning off screen with fingerprint sensor, as well as execute any task with a touch of finger.

    Better have options to respond only to registered finger, as well as gestures (fingerprint swipt down... Etc.)

    Speakerphone action not working on many devices

    Robert L Ryan · 11 · Last reply by João Dias

    Many users are reporting that the speakerphone action is broken. I know that it never worked on my Motorola Droid Turbo 2 with Nougat or my Samsung Galaxy S9 with Oreo.

    OnePlus and Pixel devices are also experiencing this issue.
