    Grace period for sensible state contexts to activate/deactivate

    Flavio Delgado · 6 · Last reply by adomm420

    An option in seconds the state must remain in the same condition until it finally (de)activates.

    This will make profiles more reliable and easier to use, instead of adding waits and conditions in tasks.

    Updating icon standards to include 2 layers: BG and foreground

    Brenden MacDonald · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi,

    I'm interested in seeing some updates to the icon system in Tasker App Factory. Apps since Oreo or Pi have a new icon standard. The "legacy" icon is still in use for earlier versions. The new standard, and the method of including icons in Android Studio, is to use a BG layer and a foreground layer with transparency. Two PNG's would be provided, and perhaps also a legacy PNG provided.

    (The current icon configuration might not need too much modification to suit that last purpose, with the new icon config being "added" to the setup.)

    I put up an

    Tasker to register for default SMS app

    Ian Grody · 5 · Last reply by Sam Cook

    Since Tasker has been green lighted for SMS/MMS, would it be permitted if Tasker could register as default SMS/MMS App?

     

    I suggest this idea as with the SmsManager class/objects, we could control SMS/MMS much more. This would include building our own SMS/MMS apps, backing up/restoring, organising and filtering as well as blocking/spam filtering. It would also allow us to see hidden short codes from those dodgy SMS spammers.

     

    Essentially, Tasker would just need to register it for now, rather than you make anything forward facing for it. Java could then do the rest. I for one would start

    Let plugins SET Global Variables

    Tasker Pro · 2 · Last reply by Ian Grody

    I know long ago there was a brief time where this was possible, but Pent changed the 'rules' because of a supposed 'security' issue.

    Is it possible to now solve this security issue? To make a more secure/safe connection between the plugin and Tasker to let set Global variables.

    It could even be an option that plugin devs and/or the user have to click something to agree to.

    Case in point, let's say you want to set 6 Globals at once. If they were local variables - AutoTools "Text" could handle it in one Action if it could set Globals.

    Add Search and Delete to Notificatiom Category

    Robert L Ryan · 2 · Last reply by Robert L Ryan

    Currently the only way to assign a category is to manually type it in. This becomes tedious and error prone when several Notify actions share the same category.

    One solution would be to add a 'magnifying glass', which would allow selection of a previously defined category. Would this be possible?

    Would it also be possible to add a method to delete categories which are no longer being used?

    Native Method to get Foreground App

    Robert L Ryan · 9 · Last reply by Paul Hedderly

    There is currently no built-in action to get the foreground app name and package. The %WIN variable is inaccurate and often empty, making it unsuitable.

    I know this can be done with AutoInput, but a native action for this would be very useful, especially in kid apps.

    A share community easy to use like Workflow

    Z ZHANG · 2 · Last reply by Z ZHANG

    A use-to-use share community is helpful to guide the newcomers and maintain the vitality of the APP.

    However, it is inconvenient when you want to share your useful profile to others. Here are some common ways I saw on the internet:

    1. Record a video to tell others how to set a profile. I think this would hold back most people who just want to share their thoughts.

    2. Write down all the setting steps like this one: https://forums.androidcentral.com/android-apps/301540-tasker-lets-contribute-profiles.html

    3. Export profile and import profile. 

    I think Workflow on iOS has done a good job. as attached file. Click the button

    Add Keyboard "Is shown" and "Close" Actions

    Robert L Ryan · 8 · Last reply by AHMET BUYUKHANLI

    We currently have an action to show the soft keyboard. However, there is currently no way to detect if the keyboard is already showing. Some way to detect this state has been requested several times on various Tasker forums.

    I request an action to close the keyboard, if currently shown, and an action that returns the current state of the keyboard.

    Bluetooth scanning

    Scott Miller · 1 · Last reply by Stefan

    Since Android 7, I think, Bluetooth scanning has been available without having Bluetooth turned on. But Tasker still requires Bluetooth to be turned on for Bluetooth near to work. This is similar to WiFi scanning without WiFi turned on, and Tasker does take advantage of this for WiFi near. It would be really useful if Tasker would receive support for Bluetooth scanning, so that Bluetooth could remain off when not in use. This would also eliminate the need for the toggle Bluetooth option in Bluetooth near for those using a supported Android version.
