    Autonotifiation startActivityAndCollapse()

    A Harper · 4 · Last reply by A Harper

    When I use an Autonotification tile with "Hide Notifications" as an option (to collapse the notification shade), I instead get a warning that Autonotification cannot close the shade and I should be using "Close System Dialogs" from the fired task to close the shade.

    Unfortunately, a work profile on my device prevents me from using Tasker's accessibility service, so this is not an option for me.

    However, other apps I use with quick setting tiles all seem to be able to accomplish this goal without special permissions. As does the QuickTask Tasker plugin.

    All of these other apps appear to

    Choose icon directly from an icon pack

    zc m · 0 · Posted

    Hi, I might be late to the game for this RC version.

    I am wondering if you will add the ability to access icon pack directly? Since there is a new feature to add Task to launcher, we need to choose an icon.

    For now, we can only choose the application icon, but if we can choose the icon from an icon pack directly, we have more option.

    For example, I have a task to automate Google Maps direction. If I use the original application icon and put them side by side, it will be quite confusing because of the

    In the tasker Do Not Disturb action (Mode: custom settings), as "Allow SMS Senders", I see 4 options: - Any - Contacts - Starred - None

    But ... in the corresponding systems settings (Android 14) there is also another (new ?) option: - Priority conversations

    Foor Loop Help

    Daniel Polniak · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello, I am trying to make Tasker do, what i believe, is a fairly simple task.

    I am using Tasker in my car. I have an aftermarket headunit that is running Android on it.

    What I would like is, when the headunit turns on, I would like Tasker to wait 2 minutes, then open an app. "Waze" app to be exact. Thats it.

    I was able to make this happen by simply creating a task with the following:

    1. Wait -> 2 minutes

    2. Launch App -> Waze

    However, this proved to be unreliable because the aftermarket headunit does not

    de-googled phone: Current beta (6.2.32-rc) complains about end of trial phase

    flipreverse · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi all! I purchased Tasker 8 years ago via Google Playstore. I double checked it. I've now switched to CalyxOS which uses microG and the Aurora Store. The current stable release works fine with microG. No complains at all. If I, however, join the beta program, and install the current beta version (6.2.32-rc), Tasker complains about the end of the trial period. I'm not able to make it work. Deinstalling it, and re-install the current version (6.1.X) brings Tasker to life again. Have you changed the Playstore detection recently? Or anything else in that version related to the Playstore? Regards,

    Tasker ask for confirmation to run a task from google assistant

    Emilio Jimenez · 0 · Posted

    Hi!

    Sorry if my English is not good. 

    I'm new to tasker and I created 2 tasks, CrossFit and test.

    If I delete one of the tasks and I ask Google assistant to run the only task that's left, it does it with no issues, but if I have 2 or more tasks and ask Google assistant to run one of them, a pop up appear asking for confirmation of which task to run and an arrow pointing to the one I asked in the first place (see screenshot below)

    Expose help section to the user.

    urkindagood · 0 · Posted

    Help section is being shy hiding himself behind the triple dot menu.

    IMHO, Tasker should have promoted him more to the user by actively presenting him in the upper layer.

    I think placing him right next to the resect button will make the user notice him more. 

    Or maybe Tasker could introduce a new way to call him for certain action. E.g long pressing the action in action list menu.

    The former should be sufficient though. Thank you!

    Add a search feature when adding a task to a profile

    It would be really helpful if we could search by task name when adding a task to a profile. My list of tasks is really long and scrolling takes a long time.

    Add an %item_index variable to each item in a scene's menu, enabling unique images for each list item in a menu

    thomas · 0 · Posted

    Currently in scene menus (those are the lists), every item in the list reuses the same image. The only way to give each item a unique thumbnail image is if it's manually input. For variable input, it's impossible.

     

    This variable would enable variable-populated menus to have unique images for each item.  For example, if your list contains a list of image files within a folder, you'd be able to display a thumbnail of each image in its entry in the list.  And if you were displaying a list of songs, you could show a thumbnail for each song.

    Allow "Stop" Action to Interrupt "Wait"ing Task

    Nick Betcher · 0 · Posted

    In my opinion, despite task priorities and all the other fancy (yet complicating) features/factors, a Stop action should actually stop a task (hey, concept! Haha), regardless of what it is doing. On some levels this may be difficult, but stopping a task that is currently in a Wait really shouldn't be one of those difficult situations, regardless if Tasker is using Android's alarm scheduling system or an internal timer system.

    It's trivial to test:

    - Wait in one task

    - Attempt to Stop it in another during the other task's Wait action time.

    The task is not only not stopped,

    Cannot install Tasker, tick battery optimization

    My Tasker stopped working after 6 years on my Ugoos TV box. When trying to reinstall, it is not possible to pass the install screen with tickboxes as I am unable to tick the box battery optimization. My android TV box is always connected to power. Changing battery settings and reboots did not solve it.  What can I do?

    Add Keyguard Lock State Listener (API Level 33; Android 13)

    Nick Betcher · 3 · Last reply by Nick Betcher

    New In Android 13:

    KeyguardManager  |  Android Developers

    Please add support for the new KeyguardLockedStateListener class so that, in addition to the, "Display Unlocked" we may also have, "Display Locked." From a security hardening perspective, this is an essential feature.

    This allows for features like putting the device into a paranoid-level of security so that -- in the case of a malicious actor -- if someone uses known-exploits (via USB) to remove a user's secured lockscreen while the device is on and logged into, Tasker can protect the user. This, combined with amazing features like an "Overlay+/Allow Outside of Boundaries"

    Real Beacon Support (not via inappropriate BT Near)

    ckollars · 1 · Last reply by ckollars

    Beacons are so different from Classic Bluetooth devices they need their own tools. Although the name is the same (Bluetooth), both the operation and the usage are completely different. First the theory, then some specifics--

    Theory -In addition to being BLE devices, Beacons are a] off (not advertising) for several seconds at a time, b] have use cases that need to distinguish "nearness" as close as a few feet, c] have use cases that require responding in just a few seconds -even when off, and d] broadcast a _very_ faint signal to minimize power use (which means something as innocuous

    Feature request: an option to turn off the display *with* fade-out ?

    Soudane GMTA · 0 · Posted

    In the "help" text for the display Turn Off action, we have the following text:   "On some devices it takes about 3 seconds for it to really turn off, on others it might take around 10 seconds. Either way, a fully black screen will be shown while the screen doesn't really turn off."   Could we have a new option for the Turn Off action which would allow the display to fade out without it being covered by the black screen? Sometimes, this fade-out behavior is desirable when the display is being turned off.   Thank you very much

    Action/Shortcut to open the Running Tasks and Active Profile Monitor directly

    Simsim · 0 · Posted

    Would be cool if we had a way to open the Running Tasks and Active Profile Monitor directly via shortcut or an action. So we can open them directly from a notification for example.

    Could be done via a new "Show Monitoring" action with option to choose between tasks, profiles and runlog. The "Show Runlog" action could be integrated in the "Show Monitoring" action.

    Regarding the "Notify" action...

    Alan Rosen · 6 · Last reply by Alan Rosen

    Hi, thanks for all you do. I LOVE Tasker! Regarding the "Notify" action, would it be possible to change the parameters of the action so that a variable itself can be shown in the notification panel, rather than just an icon which then has to be dragged down to see the variables's text? In my case, I'm trying to create a simple app to show the current local temperature (itself) in the notification panel. Thanks again, Alan R

    android 12 wifi control not working with tasker settings 1.3 or 1.4

    schalou · 4 · Last reply by João Dias

    I used to use tasker together with tasker settings 1.3 to control Wi-Fi on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 with android 11.

    This worked until last weekend, when my phone got an update to android 12 by xiaomi.

    I then updated  to tasker settings 1.4 from github, which seems to be the latest revision but still Wi-Fi control doesn't work anymore.

    Is there something I am missing here?
