    Long Tapping a Quick Setting Button

    Zohar · 2 · Last reply by crixi

    Hi Joao

    Tasker enables adding buttons in the Quick Settings toolbar, and setting each button to execute a Task. This is done in the Preferences screen, under the "Actions" tab.

    Currently Quick Settings buttons that are created by Tasker, behave like this: Regular Tap executes the defined task, and Long Tap opens Tasker's Preferences screen.

    The behavior of the second one (Long Tap) is a bit of waste. Instead of having all Tasker created buttons to lead to the Preferences screen upon long tapping them, it would be much more useful If we can define for each button, a Long

    Output empty strings for unused %evtprm() variables

    Steven Buehler · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Feature request: When outputting variables' values to a task (i.e., adding a row to a Google sheet or text file), instead of outputting "%evtprm8" if %evtprm8 is empty (as an example), output an empty or null string.

    When I use the Google Sheets plug-in and when I export to text file as CSV, whenever Tasker encounters a variable with an empty value it outputs the name of the variable instead of null or empty value.

    Text a message using MY CELL NUMBER referencing a list of cell numbers

    Jason · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Is there already a pre-made project to all me to send a message to a list of cell numbers, either in a document on my phone or from my contacts, using MY CELL NUMBER? Hoping there is an automation that can do this with Tasker.   Example: I want to send "Hello this is Einstein, hope you are having a great week, let me know if I can help with your physics homework" to a list of 345 cell numbers I have in my contacts or from a document on my phone. Do this using MY CELL NUMBER so they all

    Pick a call and Enter a DTMF key

    Muhammad Faheem · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    There are many scenarios in which we get a call and have to click on a specific key in number pad (DTMF) to give authentication/permission, etc. Example, Gate security system where when someonw tries to enter, we get a call, and have to click on a specific number/key to let them in. But entering a DTMF key doesn't seems to be an option currently with Tasker. This would be very useful

    Create a variable when on the variable set action

    Multiple times I have run into the problem where I want to set a variable i have not created yet, having to back out the entire action, create the variable and go back. The ability to create a variable whilst editing the set variable action would be great.

    Collapsing actions within a task - and preserving that view

    Evan W · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I find it convenient to collapse actions within a task (for example, within and if statement). However, that view isn't preserved - when I exit the task and then go back in, the actions are expanded again.

    Please provide an to preserve the collapsed view?

    Greenify

    John · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    Could you please add hibernate + lock screen as a task option for Greenify just like their widget? I don't want to add a second task to turn off screen after the first task, because Greenify turns off screen and hibernates the apps at the same time without showing each app individually.

    Thank you in advance

    Suggest autoapps have a setting for which account should be used when unlocking plugins to avoid it randomly picking an account and the tasks consistently failing to run.

    WalterBishop · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    No matter if the correct Google account is the first one logged in or if it's the last one logged in auto apps always chooses a random account to try and unlock my plugins. So basically none of my tasks run without hours of resetting up my phone each and every day. Yes I have read the faqs. My suggestion is to have auto apps ask the user which account to use for logging in plugins one time and always use that account or you could even have it ask upon each purchase which account to use and then you

    Random numbers in decimal

    Thatcher · 1 · Last reply by Azek

    Could you make it so that the variable randomize will allow decimals. So if I set the minimum to 2.000 and the maximum to 5 it will give a number between 2 and five up to 3 decimal places. For example minimum: 3 maximum: 5.00, 3.73 would be valid, 5 would be valid, but 5.1 would not.

    Move Tasker Function "Music Active" to Media actions category

    A suggestion if it might be easy enough.. the GetMusicActive() function could be a useful condition for many users, and could be more discoverable if it resided in Tasker Media category rather than tucked inside the Tasker Function action. Thanks

    Separate Out of Bounds Blocking Overlay Scenes from Lockscreen Overlays

    JP · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    We can currently use out of bounds option to create scenes on the nav/status bars. This also allows the scene to show on the lockscreen or AOD.

    I actually don't want my navbar scenes to show on the lockscreen. Is it possible to add a separate option to allow Overlay+ scenes to not show on the lockscreen.

    State profile that triggers on a specific profile's ON or OFF status

    StaffanT · 4 · Last reply by StaffanT

    I look for a solution to the following scenario: Profile B should turn OFF when profile A goes ON, and vice versa. This is different to checking whether a state profile is ACTIVE or INACTIVE. There is currently no profile event or state that can monitor the ON/OFF (ENABLED/DISABLED) state of a profile. The variable %PENABLED is not usable in the same way.

    Please add Favorite action tab

    Hi Really thankful to your hard work to make tasker more and more pro. Want to suggest or request if it is possible than you can add favorite action tab as a sidebar menu. Like if using wait, flash, if etc.. Actions more commonly so if i can Define my favorite action and add it to my task on single tap it will be very useful. For example Like more often i add flash action with text' testing' to check if task triggered or not. So if i can add that action with Predefined text with single tap it will

    Long(er) Flash action

    Jimmy Jimmy · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Use Flash a lot for debugging. So easy and convenient to use. Sometimes when displaying a lot of information, even "Long" is not long enough. Could you make "Long" longer? Or let us specify how long (in second) it lasts?

    Add a wait period to the flash action

    Rich D · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    The newer versions of Android have created what I would definitely call a bug with the wait action. Now if I have multiple flashes no matter if the first flash is set to long or not the second flash will immediately overwrite the first. This happens so fast I can not even see the first flash action, leading me to believe it never occurred which makes debugging very difficult. The fix for this is to add a wait action after the flash action. Which means every flash action now I will have to add a wait action after it to

    Cool down period as a variable or set from within a task

    Tom Michael · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Have profile "cool down" time be specified from a global variable. Something like ...

    Tasker Function - Set Profile Cool Down Period - Select Profile (from helper list) for Cool Down Period. - Set Cool Down Time Period (from helper)

    This can be useful when using "If" statements in specific tasks for profiles where collision or priority levels can cause conflicts.

    Example:

    Profile - "Remind me to Call Mom Back"- Missed Call Notification from Mom

    Task - Remind Me

    IF - I'm in a %Meeting (true), Set Cool Down Period for 2 Hours for profile "Remind me to Call Mom

    A way to designate whether a Profile has been user named or not.

    Tasker Pro · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Currently in Tasker when creating a new Profile there is the ability to name it manually by the user, or to just click the checkbox and let Tasker auto-assign it a name (usually based on whatever the Contexts are then assigned).

    The problem with this is - some of the names that Tasker uses for auto-naming can often look like they were named by a user, which can cause problems later on, specifically:

    The variables %PACTIVE and %PENABLED do not / will not contain Profile names that have been assigned by Tasker, regardless of if they are active or enabled.
