    Can you add a progress bar on notifications without AutoNotification app? Just like the Progress Bar dialog, but in notification. Thank you so much!

    Can't connect to adb wifi Error

    Randy Juber · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Small white flashing box at the bottom of Tasker everytime I open it. It says "Can't connect to ADB Wifi. Check here: https://tasker.joaoapps.com/userguide/en/help/ah_adb_wifi.html"

    This happens when I have zero profiles enabled, and ADB Wifi is disabled in Developer Options. I tried adding a port in the Tasker settings, but the error never goes away. Issue started after upgrading phone to Android 13, and was not having this nagging error message when running Android 12.

    I've followed the directions on the link provided, but it works until Wifi Debugging is disabled (as I don't want it on), the phone is rebooted (scheduled

    Unable to launch apps in Android 13

    J B · 4 · Last reply by João Dias

    I have a Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G (not rooted). Previously on Android 12. Just upgraded to Android 13, on any tasks to launch apps, I get the error "Launch App: failed to launch com.sec.android.app.xxx". It doesn't read like a permission issue. Run Log just shows "err" on the launch app task.

    I've tried re-setting cache from recovery menu.  Also tried wiping data/cache for the tasker app.

    Any suggestions?

    Theming UI enhancements

    Paul M · 0 · Posted

    I have a couple of ideas for UI theming:

    1) Material You theme selection should include an option to have a 'light' main screen instead of the dark it defaults to. I'm guessing it's taken from the overall display setting on the device. 

    2) Selecting a colored theme, for example, Tangerine, should keep the navigation bar that same color instead of black. It lends to a nicer aesthetic and is similar to Material You theming.

    AutoLocation should not require Storage permission

    Ondřej Novy · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    AutoLocation plugin requires Storage permission during first start. After removing that permission manually, everything works fine. Only error message toast "Permission denied" is shown during AutoLocation app startup.

    Thanks.

    Add a STOP option to the Flash action

    StaffanT · 0 · Posted

    Often when debugging a task I use Flash to display status and variables, and many times, especially in loops, I also add a Stop action after the Flash. It would be handy to have a Stop option to tick within the Flash action itself. Yes, I'm lazy :-)

    AutoNotification - a Gmail notification button for "Read & Star"

    Ryan · 0 · Posted

    If it's easy to implement this, I'd love for it to be one of the button options.

    A seemingly more difficult but more user-customizable option would be for users to be able to assign an arbitrary number of actions to a single button (through checkboxes instead of radio buttons, e.g.) and then name the button.

    Add option to the "List Files" to do its job recursively. To do this currently you need to use a bunch of For Loops, and it ain't pretty

    "Trial over" with degoogled phone, but I already bought it

    Ryan Delaney · 3 · Last reply by helprace.ald5o

    I've been using Tasker on this device for a couple years. I purchased it many years ago and installed it via Aurora Store. Now, this device is EOL and I'm trying to migrate my Tasker profiles to a new phone. However, suddenly tasker won't run because my "trial" has expired. This is aggravating because I just want to export my profiles.

    In this thread Joao said:

    Tasker's Google Play version works by quering the Google Play store if it's licensed. If Google Play is not present then that will happen. You can always switch to the direct-purchase version that you

    Old workaround possible for muting

    psisquared2 · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    On my Fairphone 4, Android 11, I ran into the known issue with Sound Mode -> Mute that you reported to Google in https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/205205662 (you can add the Fairphone 4 to the list of affected phones). I furthermore noticed that this old workaround on Reddit reliably sets the phone to Silent on my device:

    1. Set DND Mode "No interruptions"
    2. (Immediately) set DND Mode "Priority"
    3. Wait 50 ms
    4. Set DND Mode "Allow All"

    Not sure if it works on the other phones, but I found it worth mentioning.

    SPLIT MODE

    JSO · 0 · Posted

    I am thinking it could be stellar to have in Tasker a split mode (two windows), so we could easily copy/past actions from a task to another, nevermind the project ! (as in a file manager app, like  SolidExplorer app if you know this one )

    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

    "Perform Task" return does not write to task variable

    Tortuosit of Tapiola · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    As reported here: https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/wj17wy/perform_task_return_not_overwriting_task_variable/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

    "Problem: A "Perform Task" return value does not write directly into a task variable, it should absolutely be able to, IMO. Or is it intended for some reason? I would guess it is the same for project/profile variables. 

    So currently I have to name the return %somename, then var set %taskvar=%somename.

    Note that the "overwrite" and "replace on passthrough" are unrelated here, we're not talking about variable passthrough, but function call/return."

    Anomaly on taking into account calendar event

    B@rberousse · 7 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi there

    I created a profile that performs tasks on a calendar entry ("Telework" in this case). The event is recurrent in my calendar. The profile works perfectly.

    However, sometimes I have to change the date of one (or more) of my teleworking days.

    In this case, the scheduled tasks continue to run on the days when there is no more telework in my calendar and, conversely, do not run on the days when I have moved the telework.

    Any idea on solving the problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    Scene use of a temporary variable as Element Default value

    StaffanT · 2 · Last reply by Håkan Sjörling

    I have a scene containing a Number Picker element but I have found that I cannot set the default value using a temporary variable, as the keyboard only lets me enter digits. It would be good if a normal keyboard be displayed when selecting the default value field. This might apply to other element types as well. Thanks for listening.
