    BT Connected => Select BT Device. Also display custom device name

    Pion_G · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

      In the "BT Connected" state settings, device name lookup dialog ("Select a BT Device") displays built-in devices names, but not aliases.   This make hard to distinguish devices with identical names.   I know that by testing it is possible to found corresponding device MAC Address, but it would be very much easy if the dialog displayed BT devices aliases also.    Sample:

    Toggle Bluetooth absolute volume developer setting

    Matthias · 2 · Last reply by Karl Wood

    Hello,

    I'd like to toggle the Bluetooth absolute volume developer setting when a certain BT device connects and disconnects. Unfortunately I did not find the option in Tasker. It would be very nice if you could add the option to change this setting with Tasker.

    Thanks!

    Autotools Web Screen Status Bar Text size

    Joram · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    I've tried the new Autotools Web Screen 'Status Bar Text' and liked it. It's pretty straight forward. While trying I noticed it's possible to change the position of the Text in the Status Bar but not the text size. I would like to be able to change the text size to match the text and icons of the Status Bar, or do what ever one likes.

    In my case for example, I have the current temperature in the little space right of the hole for the front camera and the edge of the screen wich is not used by the

    Built-in orientation variable

    Stretchion · 2 · Last reply by Neil F

    Hello

    It would be great to have a built-in variable for the orientation state.

    There are a functions to check it manually either by profile or task action but both of course are slower if we've a built-in variable.

    Send text-command to Google Assistent without opening the Assistent app

    From Tasker, for example send the command "Play Spotify on my Google Hub" to the Google Assistent. Without seeing any visual interaction. Maybe the API from Google can be used? Or the action-block app from Google?

    Please consider this small contribution this works for me you can minimise it into one line of shell command with REGEX by eliminating the extra steps of variable splits  I'm sorry I can't dig further into REGEX.

    AutoInput to also report the actual coordinates of the click/long-click actions

    berkan · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    %aicoordinates contains the center point of the clicked element.

    This is fine for relatively small elements like buttons, but sometimes I want to know the actual point I clicked on a larger surface -- for instance, on a canvas in a drawing app.

    Is it possible for AutoInput to set an extra variable (%aitruecoordinates ?) to return the point that was actually clicked?

    Many thanks!

    Problem associating tasks with user icons

    Sharif Salah · 2 · Last reply by Barbara

    Hey,

    I've got 100+ tasker actions that I've associated with my own PNG icons, mainly purchased from iconfinder.com

    Whenever I do a clean install of tasker, it doesn't seem to correctly associate the icon I've previously set up with the task. It just gives me a red triangle. So it's a bit of a chore to have to set them all up again.

    I've had two phones and it's been the same with both. Also, even without a clean install, over time the red triangle comes up for some tasks for no obvious reason. The icon is still in place

    Prevent android sounds when changing ringer volume

    Scott12 · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    Is there a way that Tasker can prevent Android from making sounds or vibrating when setting ringer volume?  I mute my phone at night, then I have a profile that runs in the morning that turns the ringer on, and it makes an annoying beep when the Ringer Volume action runs.  I saw one post that seemed to address this (https://tasker.helprace.com/i869-adjust-ringer-volume-0-without-sound), but setting Do Not Disturb didn't stop the sound for me.  I would also like to prevent the vibration when setting the ringer volume to zero.

    In addition to setting Do Not Disturb = No Interruptions, I've also tried

    Action to create files in Tasker

    Tyler T · 2 · Last reply by Tyler T

    The file actions are awesome but I can't seem to figure out a way to create files from inside tasker itself, only write them. May be wrong and it's already possible. But if not, would be awesome to have a "Create file" action. Being able to input a title, select the location to place the file, and even select what kind of extension is used (.txt,.csv, Etc.). Would save time by not having to create a file ahead of time to use inside of tasker.

    Add INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS permission

    Ian Grody · 2 · Last reply by Ian Grody

    In A11, running `dumpsys location` throws an exception that the user needs android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS (android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_ALL)

    These do look to be system/privileged, so should be grantable via ADB.

    Thanks.
