    Library to support designing profiles in Python for programmers

    csibesz07 . · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi,

    Ideas:

    • an easy to use library that supports designing custom automation logic in some programming language that will run in (indirectly) or on top (directly) of Tasker
    • Indirectly (main idea): using the Tasker's backup system, a support library and custom logic written in Python, should be able to output an XML that contains tasks and profiles
    • Directly: same as methods under Code action but more robust, (probably using indirect technique to inject script into action)

    I imagine that my whole tasker environment could be simplified to a Python project thats easier to understand, debug, maintain, comment, share and most

    Autoimport Projects and Profiles

    raddacle · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    While there is an import action to tasks and entire configurations, there is no way to import profiles or projects. Being able to autoimport profiles and projects would allow us to keep family member's devices updated through dropbox or google drive syncing/sending.

    Option for cooldown time to trigger last skipped event after cooldown time is over

    Stefan · 0 · Posted

    An option for cooldown time to trigger the last skipped event (skipped during the cooldown time) after the cooldown time is over would be useful.

    E.g. there are many changes of %LIGHT when moving. In a profile reacting on changes to %LIGHT and adding a cooldown time of ten seconds Tasker will probably not trigger the entering of a completely dark area where %LIGHT will not change anymore because it's constantly 0. The above change would allow to use a cooldown time AND to detect the % LIGHT changing to 0.

    Separate settings for UI and help language

    bege · 0 · Posted

    The German help texts often don't contain all the information the English texts provide, and I guess it will never be possible to keep the translations fully updated. Therefore I'd like to have a German UI and English help texts. Would you, please, provide separate settings for UI and help language?

    "Add to Home screen" for tasks

    Amit Kotlovski · 3 · Last reply by Gan

    I use the KISS launcher which is a minimalistic take on launchers. No icons on the page except a bottom row of "favourites", and a search bar that searches installed apps, contacts, settings, etc. When using browser apps I can select "Add to Home screen" and that website is added as a "Desktop shortcut" which makes it available in the launcher search results. It would be great to have Tasker add tasks to the Home screen in this fashion! Widgets, btw, are not a good fit as the widget support is minimal (can add only one at a time, it takes up

    Number picker: old_val not set correctly

    Henrik · 0 · Posted

     When using a number picker in a scene, the %old_val is not set correctly, if you roll the number picker and then roll again before it has stopped, the %old_val becomes unset and defaults to - 2147483648 (-2^31).

    Ability to choose which camera on the rear to use to take a picture

    That guy · 0 · Posted

    I have 3 cameras on the rear of my phone. I'd like to choose which one tasker uses to take photos.  That way I can set my phone up to take different kinds of shots underwater. Also being able to lock the focus to a given distance would be nice as auto doesn't work well under water.

    %caller reports incorrect context when the same named task is called by two profiles at the same time

    Dan · 0 · Posted

    I've discovered that %caller reports the wrong context when two different contexts with the same priority call the same named task at the same time.

    You can reproduce this by creating a named task (I called mine Collision Test), with collision handling set to "Run Both Together" with the following action:

    1. Array Push: %Collision, Position: 1, Value: %caller()

    Then call the task "Collision Test" in both the entry and exit tasks of two different contexts that have the same priority:

    • Collision Test 1: State -> Variable Value: %Collision_Test ~ true
    • Collision Test 2: State -> Variable Value: %Collision_Test !~ true

    Profile conditions for Scenes

    roizcorp · 0 · Posted

    In scenes, often elements may change values, size and images by reacting to conditions, the problem though I have to test each element to know its current state and then decide what to do with it.

    Some elements may change in the background based on other element condition or based on another task that is running in the background

    I would like to specify conditions as a profile that would matter for scenes and then run tasks that will affect on them (I suppose that the first and obligatory condition is that the scene is created.

    AutoWeb: Gmail API get message body data decoding needed

    anonymized · 0 · Posted

    Body data is somehow encoded and payload body data won't come through.

    Needing some way for Autoweb to decode body data.

     I found this, https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-ruby-client/issues/145 . Could I decode somehow with AutoTools?

     

    I don't know, if payload body data is needed, then it doesn't seem to go throuhg. Only body parts data comes through. I get something like this from here as below: https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/v1/reference/users/messages/get? 

     

    "body": { "size": 0 }, "parts": [ { "partId": "0", "mimeType": "text/plain", "filename": "", "headers": [ { "name": "Content-Type", "value": "text/plain; charset=UTF-8" }, { "name": "Content-Transfer-Encoding", "value": "7bit" } ], "body": { "size": 925,

    Updating icon standards to include 2 layers: BG and foreground

    Brenden MacDonald · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi,

    I'm interested in seeing some updates to the icon system in Tasker App Factory. Apps since Oreo or Pi have a new icon standard. The "legacy" icon is still in use for earlier versions. The new standard, and the method of including icons in Android Studio, is to use a BG layer and a foreground layer with transparency. Two PNG's would be provided, and perhaps also a legacy PNG provided.

    (The current icon configuration might not need too much modification to suit that last purpose, with the new icon config being "added" to the setup.)

    I put up an

    Support for Android TV running Oreo (e.g. Sony TVs)

    Ameel · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Similar to this previous post: https://tasker.helprace.com/i214-tasker-on-android-tv

    I don't mind sideloading etc, but the main issue is being able to access the full layout of Tasker. Currently the search button and 3-vertical-dots menu at top right corner do not show up on my TV (Sony running android 8). I tested latest released 5.7.2 and 5.8.0 beta 5. 

    Is Tasker somehow compatible with some Android 8 TVs and not others?

    Enlarge project bar

    Adam Lopresto · 0 · Posted

    Would it be possible to make the project bar along the bottom of the main Tasker interface larger (specifically, taller)? I'm finding that with full gesture navigation with the betas for Android Q, swiping sideways along the bottom of the screen switches between recent apps, and scrolling the project bar is really difficult (there are maybe a few pixels at the top of it that I can grab, but it's really tricky). Maybe there's another way to do it that I'm not aware of.

    Element Value shoud apply also to Menu

    Domenico Romano · 0 · Posted

    So we can preset the selected items. 

    The value set should be a string with the same syntax as that returned by Element Test, i.e. the selected items name separated by comma.

    Thanks
