    Query set variables

    Scott Ballard · 2 · Last reply by Scott Ballard

    I would like to query, at random, which variables I have set and fill an array with their names and values. "Test Tasker" will show me the variable names, but not their assigned values. 

    My idea is to create a permanent notification that I can view at any time to see what variables I have set and what their values are.

    Also, this: http://www.floatingintheclouds.com/app-wifi-hot-spot-on-oreo/

    The issue I have with the "Nougat+ Tasker Tethering Control" is that it only works when I let it install to system, which I'm pretty sure will break future OTA updates. (OG Pixel, Oreo 8.1 march 2018)

    Notification Icon Colours That Work

    Scott Almond · 8 · Last reply by Scott Almond

    Allow chosen colour for notification icons to actually reflect in the notifications per android 5+ APIs. currently the colour chosen has no effect on android 5/6/7+. this was the whole point the option was added, but it never worked. otherwise why else would you let us choose the notification icon colour? Pent never seemed too bothered about this for some reason. Hopefully now Joao has taken over, we may see this feature come to work?

    "Notify" Action - Wear Compatibility.

    Scott Almond · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Currently if you want a notification to show on your watch/wear device you have to choose the Tasker action "Notify Sound", However, with this action, you cannot select "Permanent" notification so the notification can get swiped away accidentally. However, if I select Taskers standard "Notify" action (without sound) in order to choose the "Permanent" notification option, the notification does not show on the wear device at all.

    An option under the "Notify Sound" action, to make permanent would resolve this (can always select a silent audio file), but it would make sense if the standard "Notify" action even showed on wear

    Add WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS to Manifest

    Mishaal Rahman · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Currently, the only way to modify settings values in Secure/Global tables is to either export a mini plug-in via App Factory and grant that app this permission, or to the the AutoTools plug-in.

    However changing device settings seems like such a fundamental feature that it should be made native to Tasker. Tasker already lets you change many device settings, but there's no way for it to account for every possible setting from every possible device, so let the user manually choose.

    Right now, just adding the permission itself is enough. It might mean we have to use a clunky Java

    Edit Task/Project from PC

    Eric G · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Building larger tasks with a lot of text is very cumbersome on the phone.

    Would be great to have an app for PC that loads all profiles/tasks from the phone to a similar UI. You could use mouse and keyboard for faster editing and easily sync your new/edited task back to the phone and also test it from the PC.

    Probably would be a lot of work, bit I think it could make things a lot easier.
