Detection of running application stops after few seconds. I am using identification of an application within profiles to run some actions when application is open and when it is closed. Recently (few updates back) my Tasker started to behave differently. It seems to correctly identify the start of applications, however, after several seconds the Tasker reports the application was closed while I keep the application open. In other words it seems that the Tasker now reacts with "event" rather than "state". My device is Samsung Galaxy S10+ Android 12

Hi All,

I hope you are well.

After 15 years or so, I am now part of the android family.

One feature I miss is tap to scroll to the top.

I believe tasker can fill that gap but not sure how?

Can you please help.

Many thanks,

Ryan

Hi,

I would like to know if the following actions could be improved as described:

- List Dialog: Add 'Output Variable Name' field. - Input Dialog: Add custom buttons like in the List Dialog action.

Thank you!

When editing a “Cell Near” state, the Recently Connected Cell List currently shows:

✅ Tick mark for cells already added to the trigger list

❌ Cross mark for cells not yet added

However, it does not indicate which cells are already in the Ignore list. This makes it difficult to manage or fine-tune ignored cells, especially when the cell list is long.

🎯 Feature Request:

Please add a third indicator (e.g., a grey mark, pause icon, or any visual cue) beside the cell IDs that are already added to the Ignore list, within the “Recently Connected Cell” popup. This will

We already have "on value selected" when the user releases the slider in a different position.

It would be nice to have "on value changed" so we can do things while the user is still sliding it.

Brand new install of Tasker on a Fairphone 6 running /e/OS version 3.0.2 (Android 15).

I created a dead simple task to connect to a specific wifi network, but it fails. I get an error notification prompting me to email the dev ("Can't connect to wifi - Please click here to contact the developer about this issue") . I did a fair bit of research, but everything I saw about wifi not working was a few years old.

I had things working fine on my Fairphone 5 running /e/OS version 2.9 (Android 13) so I'm guessing it's something about the

There is an open-source app called Be Nice that seems to have successfully implemented split screen support for modern Android devices. Perhaps Tasker could use it for inspiration on getting its Split Screen feature working again. Here's the source on GitHub: tkuenneth/BeNice: Split-screens on Android made easy

(Note: I'm not affiliated with Be Nice. I just ran into it on Reddit.)

The buttons also covers things in other menus and areas of the app, not in the screenshot, including but not limited to the VARS tab.

There are a lot of times when you want to show some text data on the screen but right now if you want make a style change to your text you are limited to use mostly 3 options: 1. Scenes which has serious problem with sharing with other people devices. 2. AutoTools Web Screen which is for more advanced users. 3. AutoTools Dialog seems to not support RTL languages.

I am suggesting to give more html tags support for more popular actions like Text/Image Dialog or List Dialog that most people use. I would prefer a more "native" style so

I'm using a webview in a scene to show a mjpeg stream from an ip camera URL. The video do not shrink in the webview so only a part of the video size is visible. Maybe a config parameter could do the work

After installed, it immediately says it's over

In Android 6 (Samsung Note 4) notification bar is not shown, starting with last major release (6.5?) Still the same with 6.5.11. PlayStore version

How about adding option in the Music Play action to choose an internal ringtone from the ringtones/notifications menu of the device? There is the Play Ringtone action but as you know it can do a lot of harm (less funny) when you get loop of audio playing. I would even suggest to remove it completely and adding all the options to the Music Play action but i know you afraid of breaking stuff for users.

I've been troubleshooting why Tasker's "HTTP Request" action fails to download from a Google Drive link, even though "HTTP Get" works perfectly. After some digging, I found a simple fix that makes "HTTP Request" behave like "HTTP Get" in this case:

When using the "HTTP Request" action to download a file (like an image) from a URL such as:

Make sure you do both of the following:

1. Enable "Automatically Follow Redirects"

2. Add a Mime type custom header in the Headers field:

You can also add:

…to better emulate a browser.

When Tasker has an active Lock Code and "Backup User Vars/Prefs" option is unchecked in preferences: 1. we shouldn't be able to export backup data, through the 3-button menu on top right, before inputting correct Lock Code

2. Project variable values shouldn't be included in the backup data. Same as global variables, they should be omitted in the Tasker backup data

Having more than one Tasker license makes it more difficult to know which license belong to which device. That is why i am suggesting to have the option in https://taskernet.com/?licenses to add a name/Name tag to each license so it would be no brainer to know which one belongs to which device. 

I saw there was a post about it already but i thought to give it a try.

https://tasker.helprace.com/i1756-auto-update-feature

I have found out that technically everyone can do it themself by saving the date of the imported project using the api taskernet link and just to compare it with the current date inside the json data.

https://taskernet.com/_ah/api/datashare/v1/shares/$user/$project?a=0 

So how about doing something like this but built in within Tasker with every imported project?

I would also recommend having the option to control the check for new update time and excludes projects from the checkup that the user doesn't want to update. 

Monitor is running but nothing is detected. It has all the permissions it has asked for. Geofences and location are not required and so are disabled.

This is running on Graphene OS but Play Services is installed.

I have two smaller proposals:

1. 

it would be useful to add to Stop task possibility of:

- stopping parent task (both anonymous and named) 

- stopping all parent caller tasks

currently it can be done by parsing %caller() variable but it is difficult and not possible to obtain task name for anonymous tasks

2. 

Possibility to set cooldown times on profiles for both active and inactive states (currently is possible for active state only)

These two things can be useful for situations where for example I need profile with state WiFi connected and need to prevent situations where I'm

The command system is incredibly powerful and simple to use, it can be used as a way to simplify various projects and tasks into a single one that takes the command and does stuff based on the command itself.

It is easier than "Run Task" because the syntax is significantly easier. However, the drawback is that if you have one task that triggers a command and another that gets triggered by it, the first one has no way of knowing if the second one finished without problem, as there's no "return variable" option and no way to logically allow it.
