    Support of "android.intent.action.CALL"

    Igor Baydasov · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi. It would be nice to allow Tasker to intercept the "android.intent.action.CALL". I'd like to use it to make Tasker to catch call events, then wait until my Android car head-unit connects to my phone and place calls using its bluetooth connection as soon as it's established. (Head-unit and phone connect after Tasker sends through USB modem an SMS command to the phone)

    Javascript(let) does not set local variables when manual exit() is called

    Richard Kemp · 5 · Last reply by Richard Kemp

    Create a javascriptlet with content `var test = 1`, and follow it with an action to flash %test. You should see a flash containing "1". Now put `exit();` at the end of the javascriptlet, and you will notice that the variable is not set when the flash action happens.

    In summary, JS variables are only translated into Tasker variables when exit() is not called. Is there any way around this? Perhaps a taskerfyVariables() function that could be called before exit() ?

    Tasker Say voice engine bug

    L C · 2 · Last reply by L C

    In using the Say functionality, I have a task that reads out at regular intervals. The voice engine selected is the Google engine and it is the 3rd option in the selection list. When testing the function with the play feature, it works as expected. However, when the task is triggered by the profile, it does not use the Google engine to read. Instead, it appears to take the 1st in the list - in my case it is a different language. 

    It would be great if it can be fixed.

    Trigger Bixby commands

    James Jermain · 2 · Last reply by TaskerEverything

    On the newer Samsung phones, Bixby has access to many system settings that are not available without root.  It would be great if we could send commands to Bixby.  Maybe using intents or Bixby "Type to Bixby" function.

    %HTTPD variable not working

    Shravan Rajinikanth · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    When I make a HTTP POST request, the %HTTPD variable isn't being set with the response data. My response code is 200 and the output file is being set correctly. But when printing %HTTPD, the string "%HTTPD" is displayed. The response content type is application/json.

    Slider Scene Element Bugs

    Robert L Ryan · 2 · Last reply by Mahmoud Bader
    • Using the Element Value action on a slider, with the scene visible, fails to activate the Value Selected event task. The documentation clearly states that changing the slider value with this action should activate the event task.
    • The text for the indicators does not scale with screen resolution, making them practically useless. On my device they look like periods.
    • There is no way to change the color or width of the line the thumb slides on. Sky blue isn't always the best choice.
    • There is no obvious way to make a vertical slider.
    • During touch movement, the slider value does not

    Event Monitor that performs a task when Tasker is disabled manually

    Tyler T · 0 · Posted

    If you use any Tasker permanent notifications in any of your tasks, and then decide to disable tasker while they are still showing, they can't be removed unless manually done in tasker. So it would be great if tasker had an event Monitor that would perform a task whenever tasker is dosabled manually either in app or from the quick notification buttons.

    Does not detect app launched if opened from recents in Android P. Only when launched from app icon or launcher.

    Sean Culligan · 4 · Last reply by Moha Said

    I have a profile that detects when certain apps are launched. I found that if you launch the app from the app icon or launcher, it works fine (even if the app is currently in the recents list). If you re-open the app from the recents list, it doesn't detect the app as running or sometimes detects it but takes a long time and possibly only when you pull down the notifications. 

    Android version: 9

    Tasker version: 5.2.bf1

    Luigi Nocco · 1 · Last reply by Richard Kemp

    Hi,

    Currently when a notification is intercepted, vars %evtprm1 %evtprm2 %evtprm are populated but none contains the package name of the application that originated the notification.

    Can you add this info in %evtprm4?

    Thanks

    Provide Capability To Encrypt Files Created With Tasker

    Pete · 1 · Last reply by Richard Kemp

    Its great that Tasker can create files and backups, but due to potentially sensitive data that could be in the file or the backup it would be useful if Tasker could offer the option to encrypt that data so its protected while stored at rest.

    The option to encrypt always increases processing overhead so that should be a consideration when opting to enable the feature.

    The option to decrypt the file could be done within Tasker itself, but that would make that created file unable to be decrypted by anything other than Tasker.  Ideally an open source utility or industry

    Option for an exit confirmation popup

    I have exited tasker so many times with the back button on the wing screen. An option to add 'Are you sure? before exit would be great.

    Ability for inverted geofences

    Wolfgang Voigt · 2 · Last reply by Wolfgang Voigt

    I'm using tasker for years now and I'm very happy with it. But one thing Is missing I could never fix whatever I did:

    There is no option to define a Profile-Rule like "When I'm outside of that area". I know the following workaround: Define a geofence and only add an outgoing task.

    But that method brings some problems.

    1. It's not combineable with other conditions:

    I always add another condition on top of the ruleset, to make sure that the geofence is only checked when other variables have the expected value. This is important because they will be checked

    Improved project browsing

    Richard Kemp · 0 · Posted

    When you have many projects, scrolling left and right between them is a pain, especially if you can't remember exactly where a project is positioned relative to the rest.

    It would be good to have some sort of project browser, allowing filtering and sorting, etc.

    In Action: Variable Query and Lock ('Allow Cancel' enabled), when you close a querying popup by back button or by 'X' button on the popup, there's no way to continue the task coming after those actions.

    Permit use of variables in all action parameters

    Richard Kemp · 0 · Posted

    For example, the 'Say' action accepts variables for the 'Text', 'Engine', 'Pitch', and 'Speed' parameters, but uses only spinners and checkboxes for the 'Stream', 'Respect audio focus', and 'Network' parameters.

    It would be great if all parameters in all actions could be controlled by variables.

    Don't reset action conditions when changing the action

    Richard Kemp · 3 · Last reply by Stefan

    Problem:

    Per-action conditions set in the "If" section at the bottom of the action edit screen are reset when a different action is chosen using the "switch action" (anticlockwise arrow) button at the top of the action edit screen.

    When this would a problem:

    I have a block of if/else statements, but I want to add a new condition and result as the *first* possibility in the list to be checked. This means I need to change my 'if' to an 'else', and put a new 'if' before it. However, when I change the 'if' to 'else' I have to
