    Separate Logcat Action to eliminate run away processes

    Ian Grody · 0 · Posted

    We can run Logcat via Code > Shell when permission is granted. However, it is easy to error the logcat command where the process will run away. e.g. typo "logcat notification" (a simple error) and Tasker will run logcat forever. We can pkill, but this can become an issue if Task limit is hit, Kill All wont kill the run away PID. Could there be a Logcat Action dedicated for this command please? That  way if a Kill All is done, it'll kill the logcat process too.

    Thank you.

    Get Voice can fail so it needs a continue task after error option.

    Steve Waring · 3 · Last reply by Steve Waring

    I'll add a screen shot when I am on my PC as you have to drag and drop them on this website, so I can't do it from my phone.

    This might just be a bug in Tasker that needs fixing. But if it's not possible to stop get voice from failing, then a continue task after error is needed so that the situation can be managed, eg try again.

    Restore backup.xml file in a task to load different configurations remotely

    Ivan · 1 · Last reply by pearhuman

    I think is a good idea the possibility to import/restore a backup.xml file to Tasker to load different configurations of Tasker. For example i send an sms with "load config 1" and tasker load the backup_config_1.xml saved in /sdcard/Download/.

    is a very useful feature, because i have an android in another place, and i can configure and customize remotely.

    Project app drawer

    Sam Ingersoll · 0 · Posted

    Crazy idea in regards to the projects. What if you made it like a "dock" and "app drawer". Bare with me. So instead of scrolling right and left for projects you have a few (for me it's 6 before I have to scroll) projects always visible and if you swipe up on them like you would on a dock in a launcher it would open up an "app drawer" grid of projects.

    Auto complete in global variable

    Dario Dias · 0 · Posted

    Selection of global variable set by tasker and the user from the search list is bit difficult when one has many variables set by the user. A drop down list or auto complete based on the starting alphabets would be of great help as the list would be small and easy to select.

    File monitoring for root files

    roizcorp · 1 · Last reply by Ian Macdonald

    5.9.3.beta4 introduces the ability to trigger tasks upon file events, however though this is limited to files in the /storage partition (where tasker gets permission for). For rooted phones, I would like to be able to monitor any file (specifically in /data partition)

    Tasker Scene Element

    Rizal Sunjaya · 0 · Posted

    Would be nice if: 1. Checklist is properly resize able, not only the outer border. 2. Toggle ui only consist of Font and without the underline when on, and no need to have background as we can always add separate background just like Text element. Thanks ...

    3rd Party App Link

    Mitch M · 0 · Posted

    Hello, 

    When trying to use a 3rd party app in profiles or tasks that we don't have installed, it would be nice if when we click on it (red list item, because we don't have it on our device), if there was a popup with a link to the app on the play store that asked us if we wanted to go there to download it. 

    Thanks!

    Choose input device - Keyboard changing

    DenHaz · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I'm going mad and can't pinpoint the issue.

    Honor View 20, Magic 3.0.0, Android version 10.

    I was ADB authorising Tasker, Join and Autovoice for Android 10 and since then my Android system switches the Keyboard input methods between my keyboard, Tasker and Join, making typing virtually impossible as the keyboard minimises every few seconds.

    I have tried the basics of uninstalling, reinstalling, re-authorising, trying different keyboards installs but nothing holds. I can't find any other similar issues online so it must be something very specific I have done but not sure where to start. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Scene tab crashing

    kingfish · 4 · Last reply by João Dias

    When I go to the scenes tab and tap the plus sign, I'm prompted to name my scene. As soon as I tap the check mark after naming, Tasker crashes. Backed up data, reinstalled, and restored. Same result.

    Remove multiple Google account restrictions in Autoweb

    Ravi Warrier · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Sometimes you need to have more than one Google account on your phone. 

    But having multiple accounts disables purchases/registration in some autoapps, especially autoweb.

    It would be nice to have this restriction removed as no amount of clearing cache and reinstalling autoweb+autoapps fixes the problem.

    Task: "While/End While" instructions

    Simaus Masaqer · 1 · Last reply by Max Hendrik Backs

    I know that Mateo asked for some sort of loops like "while", but he was answered with "For" loop which in programming works differently.

    Also, I am asking for true "While" loop. To give better view of this concept I am going to share my case: I'd like to hear who calls on the phone. So, AutoNotification comes here and the Tasker, of course. I make three profiles: one with Event->Phone->Phone Ringing, another one with Event->Phone->Missed Call and the last one with Plugin->AutoNotification. The first two just switch value of one shared variable %phoneRings from false, when phone does not

    Store exported items in projects in relevant folders

    Ian Grody · 0 · Posted

    When exporting items from a Project, could they please be placed into relevant sub folders please? This would make it easier finding items when exporting lots from different projects. Maybe as a toggle in case others don't want this?

    Thank you!

    timezone

    Patrick Lucas · 0 · Posted

    Hi

    My device is a Huawei MediaPad M5 tablet running Android 8 and the "Set Timezone" action appears red and cannot be used. This is preventing me from creating a task to update the timezone depending on GPS location.

    I know very little about Android programming but I found the link below and was wondering if it has anything to do with the issue. Please take a look.

    https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AlarmManager#setTimeZone(java.lang.String)

     

    Regards

    activate fingerprint scanner w/o screen blackout

    Logan · 1 · Last reply by Fabian Jiron

    I just noted that my Bank app with fingerprint identification feature, does not need to turn off the display to activate the fingerprint sensor, it merely prompts to place finger on sensor, and the sensor is active and awaiting a print to ID.

    On the new fingerprint Tasks and Profiles that Logcat feature has opened up, Id love to see an option to activate fingerprint sensor without the need to black out the display :)
