Tasker currently has state change to detect Headset Plugged, and BT connect/disconnect.

However recent versions of Android (and some apps e.g. Pocket Casts) provide an ability to show/change audio output without connecting/disconnecting e.g. BT device is connected, can change to internal speaker, or with 2 BT devices connected can switch between them.

Therefore I'd like an event/state change to detect when audio output changes - perhaps with 2 associated variables: audio output (i.e. Speaker/BT/Plugged headset) and device name (to allow trigger only for specific audio output e.g. Car).

I currently do this using logcat entries, however this is device/phone specific

When using the contact via app action, it asks for the contact name rather then the number. In cases of contacts with multiple numbers, it only uses the first number (i.e. if a contact has two numbers beginning with 7, and the second with 8, it will use the first number). There's no option to change that setting, so I was hoping you could add an option to choose the number.

On Android 8 and later location is needed for certain actions in tasker.

For example profile with state WiFi Near cannot be run if location is set to off on device.

Tasker can change location setting between off/device only/battery saving/high accuracy.

As far as I know there really is no way (since profiles cannot be run manually) to create task that enables location for that brief moment some profile requiring it to work needs it.

Suggestion:

Add option to profile preferences to set desired location mode for profiles that need location to be enabled. This way the profile itself would

See title. I see that in other issues that something in the detection has changed. Well, apparently it's not working. Revert it.

Can't get my £3.09 back despite "free trial" promise 🤔

I thought I posted this a little while ago but I'm not sure if it was actually posted/visible so I'm trying again.

I do NOT have "lock on startup" enabled.

I have several projects. A few of them are locked with the lock code, whole others (including home) are not.

If I am in one of the locked projects, and then leave or close the app, then when I next open the app, it starts up in that project, not home - which is fine. But because it is a locked project, I am naturally prompted for the lock code.

Just purchased tasker for my old Samsung Galagy Note 10.1 tablet on Android version 5.1.1

Installed fine, but after launching, I can not find a way to get past the initial Data Access screen.  There are no buttons anywhere to move forward.  

Application manager shows it to be version 6.2.22

Any help appreciated 

Thanks

Hello Tasker Community,

1. Synchronous "Perform Task" Option: It would be beneficial to have a synchronous version of the "Perform Task" action in JavaScript. This would be particularly useful when we need to wait for a task to complete before proceeding.

2. Plugin Compatibility in JavaScript: Exploring ways to improve plugin compatibility with JavaScript actions, such as AutoInput plugins, could open up new possibilities for automation.

3. Update JavaScript Library: Updating the JavaScript library to include all native actions would help streamline JavaScript usage within Tasker.

4. Logging JavaScript Console Output: A feature to log JavaScript console output to a file would be handy

After upgrade to 6.2 the MQTT Client -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.dc297.mqttclpro&hl=en_US

not work correctly with tasker for the "publish MQTT".

Downgrading to the 6.1 all works fine.

'Loading Tasker'

I'm currently experiencing an issue with Tasker on my Android 9 car unit. The app gets stuck on the 'Loading Tasker' screen and doesn't proceed further. My car unit runs on Android 9

I've tried restarting the device, clearing the app cache, and even uninstalling and reinstalling Tasker, but the issue persists.

Right now when a task get stopped by an error, the progress dialog started by the task will continue to show.

So adding a feature like, 'Destroy when the task fails/stops' will help to recognize that the task failed when not running from UI.

Based on the discussion here I would like to request this new feature for Tasker.

It appears that %anextras variable isn't populating after a text message is received and notification is intercepted by Autonotification.  I noticed this after running ADB permissions app a couple of months ago but I'm not sure ADB program had anything to do with this issue.  Help is needed to get it working again.

Is it possible to add an option to flash and autotools popup to add a border and set a border color around the whole toast? HTML border commands don't appear to work.

Thanks 

How about an integration of the Dhizuku API to grant tasker device owner permissions for phones that cannot be rooted at this time?

https://github.com/iamr0s/Dhizuku

Maybe as an additional checkbox next to the use root checkbox if the app is detected on the device and the permissions to use the app are granted to Tasker?

Would be beneficial for certain scenarios where a user may want to increase or decrease maximum tasks queued at different times without needing to manually do it inside of Tasker. 

I have several projects at the bottom. A few of them are locked. If I am in one of the locked projects, and then leave or close the app, then when I next open the app, I am naturally prompted for the lock code. However, if I don't have the lock code, then it forces me to leave the app. I can't find any way to switch to another project. I think it should allow for the option to switch to another project that isn't locked, given that "lock on startup" is not enabled.

Dear Joao,    many months ago I started using tasker. So far I have created everything I could mostly using autoinput since it was easier and a few tasker functions specifically for the profile part (time, event and state). The main reason I have started using tasker however is that i wanted to automate stuff I do on a daily basis. Along the way I have added the goal to integrate my devices via tasker and join and I'm still busy with that and so far it is going well. However there is one profile that i can't create since

It would be really useful if there was a variable, something like %ACTIVE that could be used in profiles to note when a task is running. It would be the same as using %TRUN !Set, but if possible, set to true and false when tasks run or not so that many profiles don't need to check for the turn state every time it changes.

Accidental touches cause profiles to be turned off. Can you provide an option by which users can decide to show a confirmatory box before turning on/off a profile from the home page?
