    Google Drive sign-in doesn't work for me.

    Paul Simon · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello,

    when I try to sign-in / authorize to GoogleDrive I only get a spinner on a white window and then nothing happens. I am on 5.9 now but I am quite sure the problem has been persistent for quite some time and several updates. As a result backup to GD never worked for me. Does anybody have a clue how I could solve this?

    I get the following error message: Unknown Google Error

    Thanks

    Launch App only works if I'm inside tasker

    Cotov · 1 · Last reply by Cotov

    If I set a task to launch an app it will only do it if I have tasker open and running in the foreground and I'm browsing inside it. Otherwise apps aren't launching e.g from home screen with tasker minimised.other things like vibrate on trigger work so the task is initiated. But apps do not launch. Seeing the logs it says all is good and app is launched.

    Example:

    Event: shake up and down -> task: 1) vibrate, 2) launch camera.

    If I'm inside tasker in any menu, if I shake 1 and 2 happen. But if I'm anywhere else,

    More information about which Tasker action is running

    Ravi Warrier · 0 · Posted

    In the notification while a Tasker action is running, there's no more information about which action/task is being executed. 

    In the attachment, you'll see what I mean. This notification has been on the shade since last 9 minutes and I don't know what's happening. Perhaps, the notification can include more details (name or number for anonymous tasks). If multiple tasks are running, then the notification could show a list.

    Invert and Minimal option for Significant Motion event

    Ravi Warrier · 2 · Last reply by Ravi Warrier

    Currently the Significant Motion event works fine, but the problem is that there is no way to trigger anything when such motion has stopped or reduced.

    There could two sub-options for the event:

    1. Minimal - reduced thresholds (to trigger slight movements)

    2. Inverted - No motion is detected (whether significant or minimal)

    media recorder

    Maxime · 0 · Posted

    Hello,

    I can't record calls (incoming and outgoing). Let me explain.

    For that I use a task with the action "Record sound", found in the tab "media". I have specified the destination path (correct path), and the name of the file that will be created. I put a maximum size of 300. Format: AMR Narrowband and the same for the codec.

    When I receive a call and answer (task triggering), an error message appears: "Failure to initialize the recorder")...

    However, the action works if I change the source and put "Microphone".

    How can i solve this problem ?

    Thank you in

    Timer event and state

    shahide gomnam · 0 · Posted

    Hello guys...

    Requesting a timer event and state, gonna explain how it works below;

    Time event;

    For example we can create a profile consists of a timer event and a proximity sensor state, so if proximity is true for less than 3 sec perform A and if it's more than 5 secs perform action B.

    Timer state;

    Add a timer state and add it up with a display off state and a turn on event so if the screen was off between 30 to 60 seconds and turned on in this period it will trigger a specific action...

    Or eg.

    Wrong Application Icon in Widget

    Michael · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi!

    I have created a widget on the home screen. Depending on the profile, I change the widget icon and text (and some other things) via tasks (Set Widget Icon). For the widget icon, I use an application icon since it launches the application when clicked.

    There are two problems with the widget's icon:

    When setting the icon to the application icon for Google Maps, it doesn't show the usual map icon but a red location marker instead. There seems to be a problem with how the application icon is selected. In the task definition in Tasker, the correct icon

    All date actions and variables should have a locale parameter

    Stefan · 0 · Posted

    Similar to the say action where you can pass the voice as parameter all date related actions including Variable Convert should support a locale parameter. The locale should be either system default when omitted or en, fra, pt, de, etc. For variables like %DATE I suggest to offer  virtual array with the locale as the index, e.g. %DATE(en)

    More Variable Convert functions

    Stefan · 0 · Posted

    We have in Variable Convert the following:

    - Date Time to Seconds: date can be in YYYYMMDD format or xx-yy-zz, in which case the positions of day, month and year are determined by Android preferences. So to code locale-independent you always have to use the first format YYYYMMDD hh.mm

    - Seconds to Date Time: returns the localized format

    But we don't have a native Tasker function to get from seconds the first format. So we would need a 'Seconds to Date Time (YYYYMMDD hh.mm)'

    Furthermore a 'Seconds to day nr of week' would be useful.

    Increase size for the "runlog"

    269red · 0 · Posted

    It would also be great to increase the size for the "runlog" (which is about 250kB right now) which also just last about 3h in my case. (My tasker backup.xml has about 10500 lines of code ... so I asume me beeing a heavy user ;-). In my opinion it should be around 1MB.

    Allow multiple conditions of the same type, soecifically locations

    Von · 2 · Last reply by Randy

    The "location without tears" informs the user that low power conditions must be met before high power conditions are tested.

    It would be great if the low power and high power conditions in the same context could be net based and gps based *location* conditions.

    For example, two location geofences around the same center, a larger radius with net only, and a smaller radius with gps. The smaller gps radius would only be checked if the larger net only radius was already matching.

    This would also be generally useful for any type of condition to relax the current restriction. Another

    Run shell timeout not work

    Lazypawn4012 · 1 · Last reply by Lazypawn4012

    I saw the Old Discussions at forum, it has no meaning...

    https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/tasker/DeEHhw2emao

    Today I runned a shell script about "Getevent" -same as above discussions- with 5 sec of timeout. But it doesn't timeout.

    And it worked on my device earlier, but after several updates, some months, today, it doesn't.

    +

    I performed above as task, give a stop action to that task, it doesn't stop itself.

    ==============================

    So, the result is... you had an mistake with root permission.

    A shell script action with root permission can't be controlled by tasker, th owner app.

    It just can be excuted by, but

    HTTP Request through a proxy

    Danil · 0 · Posted

    Route a HTTP Request through a proxy like it can do with a CURL. For example this is necessary to send requests to blocked servers. In Russia is a blocked api.telegram.org. If I need to send a message from my bot, I must be use a VPN or i need do http reruest with a curl through a proxy. I think there are a lot more uses for that.

    Increase history items for "cell near" context

    269red · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Dear Joao,

    I work a lot with Context "Cell Near" e.g. to detect work places,...

    To set the cells for my wifes place I look at the context in the evening when she comes home.

    Sadly the history (in the cell near context magnifying glass) is to short and so does not show the cells from in the morning. Could you please at least double, better tripple the history or make it a preference.

    Ability to choose time format

    I prefer using tasker in English, but changing the language also changes time format to 12 hour. I am not used to it, my country uses 24 hour format and that is what I am used to. So you can imagine how much of a pain it is to set events based on a time. Could you please add the option to choose time format in future releases?
