    List variable names passed from subtasks

    Kristian Tigersjäl · 0 · Posted

    Variable names appear in the list when clicking the variable buttons in actions, if's etc. These include variable names used in the task and the profile. Variable names returned from a child task is however not included which can make it pretty cumbersome to use these. I'd love seeing these in the variable list as well.

    Move through the scene elements with the buttons (DPAD_DOWN, DPAD_UP, DPAD_LIFT, DPAD_RIGHT) of the physical keyboard or remote control; select an element with the ENTER button of the physical keyboard or remote control.

    Moving through the elements and selecting the scene elevement with the buttons of the physical keyboard or remote control is very relevant for Android NV and TV box

    Basically, give the user the possiblity to specify the decided format that he/she wants the result from a given math equation, to be formatted.

    Add support for the Implicit Grant Flow to the HTTP Auth action

    libnaniam · 0 · Posted

    I've been working with HTTP Auth for some time now. As far as I know, HTTP Auth only supports the Authorized Grant Flow.

    I know that the Implicit Grant Flow is less secure, but some APIs include additional functionality in the Implicit Grant Flow. For example, Fitbit's API requires re-authorization every 8 hours under the Authorized Grant Flow, but allows longer-lived tokens (up to one year) under the Implicit Grant Flow.

    Thank you!

    Selective write to log

    roizcorp · 0 · Posted

    I would suggest the ability to decide which task to (not) write to the log. The use case is like this: I continuously develop more and more stuff with Tasker, some of automation is already "production grade" and some in early phase which require more attention and troubleshoot. However, when I look in the log, it is too noisy with the already bullet proof scripts and i have to work really hard to find the tasks/actions/instances that are actually matter. Currently the filter of the logs hides the non-relevant lines but still i need to scroll down in order to

    Sub-trigger or trigger within task

    RmatriX1218 · 2 · Last reply by ZaN

    As of now, trigger (event, state, app, time etc) can be defined only as start event of any profile. Once any task is running with this trigger, there is no way to pause running task and wait till another event occur. This brings limitation to define complex task/profiles.

    We can use workaround of activating another profile with that task, but that's workaround only and not best solution.

    I am not software person, but my guess, we have all trigger elements readily available to do this. It's about putting these trigger element within task and defining algorithm to use this.

    It will be perfect if it will be possible to move matching rules inside matching pattern.

    if I want to push matching rule to beginning position,I need to remove all rules below,and then restore it manually.

    Full Screen Overlay in Immersive Mode Not Filling All Vertical Pixels

    Dan · 1 · Last reply by niwa2

    I have run into the bug described here while attempting to create my own full-screen blocking overlay scene. The original post I linked to describes the issue well:

    I'm trying to have tasker blank the entire screen, including the top status bar and bottom nav bar. But overlays don't seem to cover the top and bottom bars. If I switch to immersive mode to hide the bars, there seems to be a bug in tasker that crops the scene at the top and bottom. I don't want to use an activity instead because that causes the underlying app to lose focus.

    I wish there were a built-in "alarm set" state context

    Joe Gotta · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    My newest Tasker automation relies on such a context. I currently am using a complex workaround based on variables. This is less than ideal because the variables must be set one particular way, which is not versatile, and my current setup for this project is fairly confusing. My automatons could be greatly simplified if this wish were fulfilled.

    Fail "Send Intent" action when target is not found

    Matej Drobnič · 0 · Posted

    At the moment, it appears the "Send Intent" action always succeeds, even when it does not find any suitable target for the intent. Could that be changed, so action fails?

    This would make debugging tasks that contain intents much easier.

    Digest Authentication - request to add

    Akalsharan · 0 · Posted

    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,

    Sort File list by Dir, Files or Both

    C S · 1 · Last reply by XY-450M

    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.

    Allow "Desktop" mode or setting of user agent for WebView element in scenes

    R dT · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    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!

    Allow declaring of variables. Please read.

    Steve Waring · 0 · Posted

    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

    reorganize caller variables

    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

    Rename Toggle to Tasker

    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 AutoRotate Behavior

    Vyza · 1 · Last reply by Benjamin Hardy

    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 App Draw Over Other Apps Permission

    Threemoneys · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    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".

    Modular Operation

    成 张 · 0 · Posted

    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
