    Feature Request: Calendar Insert - Color Support

    Anne · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Currently, the Calendar Insert action lacks a "Color" field. To set a specific color, users must:

    ​Create the event.

    ​Use Test Get Calendar Events to find the newly created Event ID.

    ​Use Calendar Update to apply the color.

    ​The Solution: Add a Color input field directly within the Calendar Insert action. This field should ideally support:

    ​Alternatively, you can slightly optimize the process by outputting the event id as local variable from the Calendar Insert action.

    Calendar Entry (State) should support Start Early / End Later offsets

    Jimmi Jönsson · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Currently, the Calendar Entry (State) context is only active during the exact event time.

    In real-world usage, calendar events often don’t strictly follow their scheduled time. Meetings can start earlier or run longer than planned.

    Example: An event is scheduled from 10:00 to 10:30

    • It may start at 09:45

    • It may end at 11:00

    To handle this, it would be very useful to add offset options directly to the State context:

    • Start Early (minutes)

    • End Later (minutes)

    Example usage:

    • Start Early = 20 → profile activates at 09:40

    • End Later = 30 → profile remains active until 11:00

    This would

    Run a Http server in background. Receive Http post and get events.

    Jackal Zhao · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    It's been a hard thing to transmit messages from one device to another. Such as simple  sending a long text message from a computer to a android phone. 

    Using the Join to share clipboard requires connecting to Internet and exposing your content go Google. 

    Using Chat softwares has much much limitation. 

    Even if our devices are under same wifi network, it's hard for us to send a simple message from one device to another.

    Add "Java" tag for public taskernet.

    aasswwddd · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Add Java tag support for public taskernet to make it easier to find uploads that contain Java function or Java code action. It might be a good idea to automatically assign the tag when uploading to taskernet as well if the the file contains those actions. This can be done in the upload dialog in Tasker app.

    Add Java Interpreter Support That Accepts Variables

    aasswwddd · 2 · Last reply by aasswwddd

    As of now, Java function in Tasker only allows the user to define the code line by line, only with one action. We also have to handle the flow control with Tasker actions. Tasker tries to show a limited of character per action by default as well.

    Thanks to all of them, the code becomes hard to read and debugging the code is not easy either since the code are branched into multiple actions.

    Having a Java interpreter like BeanShell would fix them. https://beanshell.github.io/license.html

    We could write full scripts in one place like with JavascriptLet action. Handling flow control and error

    Add support to trigger Samsung Modes & Routines

    Alex · 4 · Last reply by João Dias

    Samsung's Modes & Routines (M&R) app exposes a few different hidden content providers that can be used by Tasker to run Routines and turn Modes on/off. The advantage of M&R is that it's a system app, so it can control many things that Tasker cannot do alone. For instance, users can toggle Wi-Fi or disconnect a Bluetooth device without needing Shizuku/ADB Wi-Fi. Additionally, there are many other Samsung-specific actions (not going to list them all here). If Tasker could tap into these actions, it would really open up the door for Samsung users to automate things more easily and automate

    Allow exporting Task/Project as app with additional files

    Mishaal Rahman · 3 · Last reply by GlitchYou

    Being able to create apps within Tasker is probably its neatest feature, but there's one rather annoying caveat: there's no option to export with additional files!

    You have to use convoluted workarounds such as this: Reddit

    Can Tasker Support Shizuku and Sui?

    cyanver · 1 · Last reply by Tebogo Michael

    Shizuku:

    https://github.com/RikkaApps/Shizuku

    Using system APIs directly with adb/root privileges from normal apps through a Java process started with app_process.

    Sui:

    https://github.com/RikkaApps/Sui

    Modern super user interface (SUI) implementation on Android. It mainly provides the ability to use Android APIs directly (almost in Java as the identity of the root, and start app's own AIDL-style Java service under root.

     

    Swiftbackup,sai and icebox already support shizuku,and greenify will supoort it soon.

    Use Shizuku as background alternative to ADB and/or Root

    Christian WS · 2 · Last reply by Azek

    https://github.com/RikkaApps/Shizuku

    The very, very short description of Shizuku is that it is an App that allow other apps to use actions reserved for ADB or Rooted devices.

    Shizuku is on the PlayStore, and the whole procedure is incredibly easy in comparison to Root, and even ADB Wifi.

    And yeah, I know you've implemented ADB Wifi shenanigans, but If the user has Tasker and any of these apps, then they are likely not going to want to do a separate procedure for Tasker. Unlike ADB Wifi and the Permissions App, it also means that tutorials and guides are offloaded to Shizuku

    copy and paste If criteria

    Lynda Howell · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    It'd be great to be able to copy the If section of one action to another.  There are certain criteria I use over and over, and typing them each time leads to typos.  And it's so frustrating to get a complex If tweaked just right and then realize I should have used a different action.  It'd be nice to be able to use Switch Action without losing the criteria, or to be able to copy the existing criteria and paste them into a new action.

    I'm not talking about copying the variable or value individually.  I know that's already possible.

    Add altitude above sea level to Get Location v2

    Matthew Bellringer · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Currently, Get Location V2 returns the GPS altitude above the WGS84 ellipsoid. Whilst useful for some things, it's not a very human-relevant number, as most people think of altitude in terms of the height above sea level. Here's a good thread explaining the issue. Correcting for this issue within Tasker is non-trivial. 

    Android now has built-in support for making this correction. Could we have optional access to it through Get Location v2, please?

    Let a Samsung A16 switch off automatically when the charger stops charging it (and viceversa!)

    My Toyota's built-in navigator is a nightmare.

    I'd dedicate, instead, a Samsung A16 with Android Auto + Google Maps to replace it.The cellphone would never do anything else and would normally be always left in the car.

    Is there a way to have the cellphonte switching OFF automatically when I switch off the car (and the USB cable stops charging)? Scope: to prevent the cellphone getting totally discharged if I leave it alone on the car for days (having stupidly forgot to switch it off manually).

    Turn off Tasker's custom Mode when all Device Effects are disabled

    digitalcircuit · 2 · Last reply by digitalcircuit

    Tasker uses a custom Android Mode to implement Device Effects such as grayscale, dimming the background, etc.  This works great!

    However, when running the Device Effects action to turn off all effects (unchecking every box), the Tasker custom mode stays enabled, leaving the status bar icon active which hides whatever other custom modes are active (e.g. focus hours at work).  I have to manually toggle off Tasker's custom mode.

    Compare this to the updated Digital Wellbeing app where turning on Bedtime Mode activates the app's custom mode, and turning off Bedtime Mode then deactivates the mode.
