Hello Joao,

I would like to request, if possible, to add the android.permission.READ_PRECISE_PHONE_STATE Android permission into Tasker. It would allow us to detect new phone call states from the hidden API that the telephony service (phone) can't.

Then, them could be retrieved using the Intent Received profile event, listening to android.intent.action.PRECISE_CALL_STATE intent; or adding new events inside the Phone category (event).

Here are the phone states that this API could give us:

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base.git/+/master/telephony/java/android/telephony/PreciseCallState.java#26

I think the Time and Date profiles \event is a little bit weak in matter of scheduling possibilities. 

I have a software with scheduling Gui feature that I believe do that right. 

It has hourly and daily type settings. 

On hourly schedule you can set if it will happen on specific hour, if it will repeat every specific time and when it begins and ends. 

It also can set multiple hours to run at.

On daily, you can choose specific days in a week that it will run

It would be nice if something similar will be implemented. 

Just turning on Bluetooth seems not enough to automatically connect to some known Bluetooth devices - you have to explicitly connect to them. Therefore it would be good to have an action to explicitly connect to a known Bluetooth device by name or its device address.

 we all know we can use "adb tcpip 5555" to open adbd, and then use "abd connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5555"  to send adb command remotely. But we could also send command to "127.0.0.1:5555"  on our phone it self.  

On some devices, we may don't have root permission, and Tasker Shell Code action permission is greatly restricted, some commands such as "sendevent"  could not be performed. But if we use tcpip adb port to send the command, the phone wouldbthink it as a computer sending adb commands, and perform the command. 

Once the function is added, all we have to do is connect

Add a global variable %NAPP to indicate the current foreground application. Suggestion: %LAPP and %NAPP use the package name instead of the application name, or you can choose the application name or package name in the preferences.

Since the "Use Motion Detection" preference comes with a warning when using BT or Wifi near states, I'd like to only enable it when i need it, and automatically disable it when the profile i need it for is finished.

When launching an app, there's an option to exclude it from recents. However, it would make more sense to add this option when killing an app. There are few apps (namely media players, but others as well) that misbehave after being stopped, when they're still in recents. This should take care of it.

A seeing impaired user using TalkBack is not able to negotiate using the floating helper button. If in addition to the floating button you could make volume up either of the volume buttons the start / stop as well with perhaps a audio confirmation I believe it would make a suitable work around. 

You would probably need to put the option to enable this feature in the tasker properties. 

I would like to trigger webcore/smartthings from the shield.

do you support webhooks?

Tasker should have an option to automatically follow redirects on the HTTP Request action.  If the response is a 301 (permanent redirect) or 307 (temporary redirect) then the new URL is in the response location header.  It would be great if tasker had an option to automatically make the same request again at the URL specified in the location header when it receives a redirect response like this.

Note that it should also log that this happened so the developer can see it.  And if it is a permanent redirect then it would be nice if tasker somehow called your

I think Tasker is missing a while loop. I understand that there's the GoTo action, but it does not help with how easy it is to see where it begins and thus making it harder to edit.

Hello, is it possible to detect screen touches, and if touch happen take an action? For exapmple make a small vibration

Regards.

Basically the title

I request for another feature that, like the new Bluetooth Connected Event, please add a Power Connected and Disconnected Event to Tasker. I know a connected State already exists but I request for an Event too. Thanks again. 

This is probably the golden egg in AutoTools that really would bring Tasker's power into the real world.

By reading logcat, we can actually get a massive payload of varying data that would be available only to root or xposed style mods.

Examples are, detecting what Smart Lock unlocked your device just by searching logcat for "authenticate" when Display Unlock Event occurs. Another is determining if the connected USB device is ADB authorized or not by doing the same, but looking for "adb device (un)authorized"

By granting permission android.permission.READ_LOGS this would allow Tasker to do much more root powered detection

Hi, how can i check the runtime(foreground would be best) of an app in a certain periode of time. I thought about something like org.mozilla.firefox(time,1440:0) and hoped to get get back app_usage(0) in seconds.

I work a lot with Context "Cell Near" e.g. to detect work places,...

To set the cells for my wifes place I look at the context in the evening when she comes home.

Sadly the history (in the cell near context magnifying glass) is to short and so does not show the cells from in the morning. Could you please at least double, better tripple the history or make it a preference.

I think it would be very helpful if, when creating tasks, we could Long-press on variable names in the list that pops up after hitting the "tag" button, to see what is currently stored in that variable. Most likely in a flash notification. 

If it helps, I took a screenshot of what it would ideally look like:

Thank you for your time and consideration. Keep on being awesome!

It would be great if the low power motion detection (as used by the Motion Detection option in the settings) would be available as a profile event.
