Hello Joao,

I absolutely love Tasker and the Autoapps and Join! 

I've mentioned this request on the Autoapps forum, but posting here also as advised. I'd like to ask if digest authentication can be added to Tasker and/or the Autoapps (e.g. Autoweb) as an additional authentication option. This would be helpful for using the Philips Android TV API and the Remote Hue API (and likely lots of other things too).

Please consider this request :-)

Best,

Right now File List action puts every Dir and File into an array. There should be a option to limit the Array to just Dirs or File or Both. Its annoying when you want move APKs files into a APK Dir, etc. 

This should be fairly simple to implement as native Android already allows for this feature. I think I might be able to control the user agent with Java code injection but haven't been able to successfully make this work. It would be really great if we were able to load full, desktop-mode webpages in our projects and apps we make with Tasker, without having to use a plugin or chrome web view window. Please please please? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you! 

There is a lot to this suggestion, but please read it all, it’s worth it.

Declaring a variable changes how a variable is used, until that variable is next named in a Declare Variable action.

Action for Declare Variable has three values:

Variables:

     A comma separated list of variable names.

Assign Out:

     This option controls what happens when the value of an unset variable is referenced.

     standard:

          The variable reacts as at present.

     unset:

          When a variable is declared with this option, instead of

in call event state, it sould be no matter in which direction the call is to get its external participiant.

why at first find out, in which direction the call is and then use "called name" and "called num" or "caller name" and "caller num"??

it would be much better, when the global variables are:

%EXT_NAME %EXT_NUM %CALL_DIRECTION %CALL_DURATION %CALL_ANSWER_DATE %CALL_ANSWER_TIME %LOCAL_NUM for dual sim

Tasker's default Quick Settings Tile is very useful for disabling/enabling Tasker, but can its label be changed from "Toggle" to "Tasker" to better describe its function?

Update the behavior of the Tasker Action: Display AutoRotate (Off, On, Toggle) to reflect the Screen rotation changes introduced in Android 9 (API level 28):

“When the device is in rotation lock mode, users can lock their screen to any rotation supported by the top, visible Activity. An Activity should not assume it will always be rendered in portrait. If the top Activity can be rendered in multiple rotations in auto-rotate mode, the same options should be available in rotation locked mode, …”

Currently, setting Display AutoRotate to Off, always locks the screen to portrait instead of the current orientation.

Kid apps from Tasker App Factory start with the following notification inherited from Tasker:

"Starting in Android 10 Tasker needs to always have the 'Draw Over Other Apps' permission to be able to do stuff like opening apps from the background."

Can this notification be removed from Kid Apps? Even if this permission is required for the kid app as well, the notification shouldn't say "Tasker".

I hope to add a way to modularize the task list.For instance.Now there is actually this modular way.But there's a problem.Is when one of the tasks invokes the other.There is no easy way to edit the task being called.I hope to add a function, that is, in the task that calls other tasks, click on the called task, you can directly enter the editing process of the called task.That would be very convenient.In addition, the task module called in the task list is displayed in another color, so that it can be well distinguished, it is not a normal task

When editing code you might sometimes find that what was originally a condition on a single action actually needs to apply to multiple actions, or that an If block that used to be bigger now only contains one action.

As you commented on this suggestion (sorry, I can't find a way to link the comment directly), the solution to the first part is often to use an If block instead. However the conversion can currently be cumbersome to do by hand, especially for complicated conditions. And Tasker is all about automating stuff, right? :)

I think it'd be nice if

Currently, if we want to filter an array we need to use %var(#?pattern), then loop over the indices returned and construct a new array. Another suggestion already exists to get rid of that loop by allowing %var(1,5,7) to return an array with just those indices and I agree that'd be a nice improvement. There it is then suggested that we could then use %var(%var(#?pattern)) to filter an array. However, I think for that special case we can do even better.

We currently already have %var(#>)/%var(>) and %var(#<)/%var(<), where the version with # returns the index and the other the value,

in particular the slider handle and the actual line the handle slides along

Could it be made so Media playback and other sounds Tasker can make can be made so we can control which speaker the sound comes from (Left/Right) please?

Thank you!

Hi,

I would like to trigger some tasks using Face ID if possible.

It may be a wonderful idea to manage smart home applications according to the faces of the people living home. For example, it says their names after checking their face IDs. Or it waits to say the personal notes from another user until it sees the target person 's face.

Thank you very much in advance,

Hi, I've been trying to see if this is possible but just can't see it. Say I wanted to get information from App Info and use the %app_icon() in a custom navbar, currently I can only choose Task icons from icons in a list.

If I wanted this to be dynamic and based on say, the last app I used, it would help to allow that to be a variable.

I offer full integration of the OpenStreetMap API in Tasker, since the capabilities of Google Maps are limited. I propose to extract all possible information from the API into variables, such as street names, house numbers, POI names, etc. What do you think of this?

This would be especially useful for devices running Tasker which are mainly just automation devices hidden away -- the device automatically backs up its Tasker data which you can edit on your phone by importing the XML, but then you push the XML back to the automation device and it automatically restores it in the same way it would if going into Data -> Restore -> User Local Backup (without the need for AutoInput or anything).

Something like having the context be "File Restore.xml modified," "Read file," "Import Data."

Hey,

I'd like to include the Tasker protocol extension in an app under Eclipse Public License 2.0.

Since the https://tasker.joaoapps.com/code/TaskerPlugin.java file has no license information included, I doubt it would be legal to modify and re-distribute it.

Can you add a license (maybe put this file under some free software license) to this file?

Thanks!

Can you please add global variables for:

- Installed Tasker version

- Device Firmware version

-Date of security patch 

This information would be very helpful for self created logfiles in Tasker projects.
