    Get Task execution ID and Stop a task using (also) its execution ID

    Stefano · 0 · Posted

    Hi, it would be very nice

    1. An action to get, inside a task, its execution ID
    2. Stop a task execution using its execution ID (instead of its name)

    These features would be very useful expecially with multiple instances of the same task running together

    Problem with Profile Variables and event connected to AutoRemote

    Stefano · 1 · Last reply by Stefano

    Hi everyone. I have an AutoRemote profile connected to an Event that calls a task called "Task test". In the Profile Variables section I set the variable %var to 1 but this value is visible in Task test only if "Enforce Task Order" option is enabled. If "Enforce Task Order" is disabled a Flash %var action in Task test shows only %var. I try the same thing with another profile (AutoInputUI) connected to an Event and I have the same problem.  

    Finally I try the same thing with a profile but connected to a State (Headset Plugged) and everything works

    Leaving an SSID does not start the WireGuard tunnel

    Doron · 3 · Last reply by Doron

    Hello folks,

    I bought Tasker mainly for one thing: to stop/start a WireGuard tunnel when in/out of a specific WiFi SSID, respectively. Quite a straightforward mission.

    So I have two profiles: One for being inside the SSID (Wifi Connected, with the SSID name), linked  to a TunnelDown task

    and one for being outside that SSID (Wifi Connected, same SSID name, "invert"), linked to a TunnelUp task:

    When going into the SSID, the task takes place correctly and the tunnel is brought down. However when leaving the SSID, the opposite task is not performed, and the tunnel remains down.

    Ask for storage access permission for all relevant tasks and actions after restoring a backup to a different device

    bege · 0 · Posted

    I restored the Tasker settings to a second device (same model) I had installed a Custom-ROM on. The backup contained many tasks that need storage access. When one creates such a task manually Tasker requests permission for that access. This does not happen when tasks are restored from a backup. Now each time such a task is triggered by a profile for the first time, Tasker requests storage permission. But the request neither contains the task nor the requested directory. This is very inconvenient and may lead to data loss.

    I have two requests:

    1. Short term: Show the requesting task

    Detection of running application stops after few seconds.

    Libor · 2 · Last reply by Libor

    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

    Scroll to Top

    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,

    Feature Request: Indicator for Ignored Cells in "Cell Near" Recent Cell List

    S. M. M. Kaisar · 0 · Posted

    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

    Scene Editor > slider events

    Javier Valencia · 0 · Posted

    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.

    Wifi connect doesn't work

    Borpo · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    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

    Copy the open-source Be Nice app's split screen functionality to fix Tasker

    Grinn · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    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.)

    Better support for HTML in actions like Text/Image Dialog or List Dialog

    Moshe Siani · 0 · Posted

    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

    Combine Music Play action with Play Ringtone action

    Moshe Siani · 0 · Posted

    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.

    Fix for "HTTP Request" Not Working with Google Drive Links

    jaydeel · 5 · Last reply by jaydeel

    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:

    Security Vulnerabilities on Data Exports

    Peyman Babazadeh · 0 · Posted

    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
