    Join notification steals focus when it appears.

    Nikolay Vasilev · 0 · Posted

    When receiving a notification from my phone on my desktop via Tasker Join, the focus on the currently working app is stolen from the notification which means that if I am typing something, it is interrupted every time I receive a notification and I have to Alt+Tab to return to my application.

    Combine Features: AutoTools Toast + Tasker Toast Layout

    Elias Cabrera · 0 · Posted

    The Tasker Toast Layout has some great features that the AutoTools Toast doesn't, like appearing on the lockscreen and timeout. On the other hand, the AutoTools Toast has more customization, like font, padding, and more. 

    Could AutoTools be updated to add these missing features? Or could Tasker include the toast customization that AutoTools has? Having the functionality of both with be amazing. Thanks!

    Need android.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN

    Aashish Bharadwaj · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    On certain devices, Tasker will not be able to execute the "Net" > "Bluetooth Info"> "Scan Devices" action because it needs android.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN permission.

    I have granted every single permission to Tasker. This effects Galaxy S20 FE with Android 13, but not Pixel 8 Pro with Android 14.

    I may be able to grant with ADB, but Tasker is not properly requesting this permission or something else is wrong, as I am able to run Bluetooth scan from my own app with proper permissions on the same device. Maybe it also needs BLUETOOTH_ADMIN?

    Here are the permissions my own app uses:

    Make Notifications Persistent again

    inguscrowe · 0 · Posted

    With Android 14 update, Notifications cannot be persistent anymore. So I am always dismissing ones I want. This is request to give Autonotifications an option to make them reappear if they are accidentally dismissed, perhaps in the "command on dismiss" area there can be an option to reappear if you want it to be persistent .

    After Android 14 update, Tasker no longer completes phone call / dial tasks.

    Dan · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I have a task that auto-dials MMI codes to turn on/off forwarding. This used to work fine, after an Android 14 update, the dial keypad pops up with the MMI code already entered, but does not actual dial the number. I have to manually click "call".

    Add a "millisec" option to Additional Time parameter of Volume Up and Volume Down events

    Viper21 · 0 · Posted

    Would you please consider adding a millisec (msec) parameter to the Volume Up, Volume Down, and Volume Up/Down events in Tasker?

     

    Currently, the "Additional Time" parameter accepts only whole numbers as seconds, which doesn't help if I want to configure the volume long press to 0.5 sec.

    Action to enable & disable projects

    urkindagood · 0 · Posted

    Title says.

    Expected behaviour for disabled project.

    1. The profiles status remains unchanged.
    2. The profiles stop monitoring their assigned contexts, so they won't trigger the tasks they are tied with as if they are disabled.
    3. The tasks and scenes are still useable by other projects.

    I think It may be better to put the 3rd point under the action that toggles the project so user could have more control over their behaviour.

    Some additional actions or variables may be needed to query their status, and retrieve the project list.

    Slight change to the behavior of the "add action" (+) button when editing a task.

    Change the add action button (the + dealy) such that it adds the action above the currently selected action as if "insert action" from the menu were clicked.

    Add onExit task to scenes.

    Add an onExit task to scenes such that when one presses the back button or the tiny little "x" the bottom-right corner of the scene said task is performed. AutoInput doesn't seem to be up to the task (no pun intended) or I haven't figured it out, yet.

    Edit: I found the way using the "key" tab of the scene's properties.

    Load URL doesn't work for WebView element if the scene is not hidden/unhidden first

    SmartPhoneLover · 0 · Posted

    Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/17d0dbq/load_url_doesnt_work_for_webview_element_if_the/

    I'm building a project where I use the WebView element on scenes, and I noticed a possible bug that I wasn't aware about it until now.

    Basically, I'm visiting www.google.com on first scene launch, using the Load URL option of the Element Web Control action. It works as expected.

    The problem comes when you have an action (ie: scene button) that call the same base URL, and use it to reload the page when the scene is just created. Just like what the Home Button of a web browser does. Here, to make it work, you need include

    Show a portion of comment section in profile and task tab.

    urkindagood · 0 · Posted

    Preferably the first paragraph of the comment section (rather than limited characters), displayed under their name and this option should be accessible a toggle.

    This way, user could leave a brief description of their tasks and profiles and read them right away.

    Bypass lockscreen restrictions using Google Assistant from lockscreen

    Redpill · 0 · Posted

    Infuriatingly, Google restricted its own Google Assistant's functionality from lockscreens, with the assistant now frequently replying "You'll need to unlock your phone for that" ...even for things as simple as asking Google for directions/navigation!

    If someone had the smarts to figure out a way to utilize Tasker (with ADB) to bypass these limitations, that would be PHENOMENAL.

    Perhaps Tasker/ADB could trick the assistant to thinking the screen is still unlocked?

    Dialog actions crashes Tasker in some circumstances

    SmartPhoneLover · 1 · Last reply by SmartPhoneLover

    I would like to report a possible bug related, to the following actions, when used in the same task (or different), but when one of them is executed just after the other without any delay in between:

    • Progress Dialog (1st)
    • Pick Input Dialog (2nd)

    It sometimes happens, and in other situations doesn't.

    Profile starts but action does not trigger

    Walter · 0 · Posted

    Hi,

    I created a location profile that runs when I back to home. It starts always correctly. The linked Action for this profile is an Http Request (GET) to a specific address. If I run manually the Action in tasker It works fine, but it doesn't work automatically when profile starts.

    This is my exported task (obviously in the http address I replaced my personal data like home coordinates and http key with fake chars): 

    I know that Ifttt has it's own location trigger but it works very bad. So after more and more tentatives I'm trying the Tasker way.

    intent specify path

    ttschnz · 0 · Posted

    I propose extending Tasker's "Intent" feature to not only react to URL schemes but also to allow users to edit the "android:path" component of the URL. Specifically, I would like to have the ability to trigger Tasker tasks when clicking on a link that leads to a URL like "https://www.mywebsite.com/customcommand," where the "android:path" component would be "www.mywebsite.com/customcommand."

    Use Case: The primary use case for this feature enhancement is to enable Tasker to execute tasks on my Android device without actually opening the corresponding website. For example, if I click on a link that directs to "https://www.mywebsite.com/customcommand," Tasker would recognize the

    Tasker tasks don't work without internet connection [ Direct-Purchase Version ]

    Israel · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi, I have a Direct-Purchase licence registered on an Android device dedicated to old games and in this device the tasks do not work without an internet connection. I know that the Google Play version has this limitation but does Direct-Purchase also have this limitation ?

    If I export the task to APK can it work without internet connection?

    Required Permissions in App Factory

    StaffanT · 0 · Posted

    The "Required Permissions" list presented by the App Factory while creating a kid app is preventing the devs from removing "required" permissions. This means that some permissions that by Google are classified as "sensitive" will be present in the APK even if not actually needed by the app, requiring full verification by Google, which may take long time for no reason. During the app testing stage it should be up to the dev to determine which permissions ACTUALLY are required for the app to function properly, not (what sometimes seems to be the case) by generalized "guesses" by the app
