For the action "Launch App" it is possible to set the package name as a variable, but there is no field to set also a special class as variable.

It would be great if you could add a input field for the app class as well.

It would be nice if you could add a function in Tasker to read out the next alarm date without the need of an extra plugin like AutoAlarm.

If possible, please tap into the BiometricPrompt API that's built into the Android system to use as an app lock task. The original pin lock is outdated and ugly :)

In later versions of Android (I believe 8.0+) there is an option to minimize notifications if you long-press the notification. This minimizes the notification and it has a downward arrow so you can expand it. 

For Tasker, it just shows Tasker * Tasker whereas other apps show some text like AppName * CurrentProcess. If I expand the Tasker notification it looks like the word "Tasker" is the title of the process running which is in bold text. Under that are the current tasks running which is not in bold. So, it seems it would just be a matter of removing

currently there is no way to get the display resolution (or if there is, I can't find it)

using wm is not an option as I need a non-root solution

As in subject, in Android 10 the dark system theme is real black, so Tasker should use the "Black" theme instead of the "Dark" theme (which is dark gray).

Moreover it is not clear to me what is the difference between themes "Device Default Auto" and "Auto" (I cannot find a description in the documentation).

Android Pie supports notches, with that said it has special apps for handling notched displays. It would be useful if Tasker could activate any one of those apps and based upon the app is launched, turn on an overlay. Like maybe, I wanted as much screen as possible on Google Duo, Tasker would switch to the default notch setting. Then I could want to watch YouTube, Tasker would switch to the hide option giving me a uniform experience. 

Under Android "Settings > Apps & notifications > Default apps > Assist app" you can choose which "assist app" to run when long pressing on the home button. The default is to run Google Assistant. I currently use Home Button Launcher as a custom "assist app" to run a Tasker task (I use this to lock the screen), but it would be nice to have Tasker provide an "assist app" client configurable to execute a task directly. This would make "Home Button Launcher" unnecessary.

Hi!

It would be great add the possibility to export a task that use plugin and insert their features into the exported app without install the plugins into other device. 

Example

i exported a task as app that use autoremote and I shared whit my friends. it can’t run without the plugin so all of they have to install the plugin to use my app. It doesn’t sounds good. It would be great have a really stand alone app

Currently tasks can only be run in a sequence, vibrate, beep, say, torch... all can't be run at the same time. A task that can say a SMS and flash a torch pattern at the same time is what I'd like to be able to create for example.

The HTTP Request action has an option "stop in case of error".  I like that HTTP Request has a way to change behavior based on whether the the HTTP Request succeeded or failed but I almost always need more control then that.  I would love one or both of the following additions:

1. Ability to switch to a different task in case of error and stop this one.  It would also need to pass in the HTTP response variables so they could be used in that task
2. An easier way to determine to conditionally call different steps for success or failure

Love the updates to the HTTP Request action to support headers.  I have started converting my javascriptlets making XMLHTTPRequest to HTTP Request actions since its much cleaner and easier to use.

I do have one request though.  When using XMLHTTPRequest it allowed you to easily store the status text in a variable.  This was really nice for providing messages to users when something went wrong since the status text is a lot more readable and understandable then the HTTP Code.  But the HTTP Request action does not store this information, it only stores the HTTP Code, HTTP Data, Response Headers

Hi Joao,

I would like to know if you could add the android.permission.SET_PROCESS_LIMIT permission to Tasker, as I just found that I can't make Tasker to interact with the Process Limit option under Developer Options.

Thank you.

I don't like the vanishing project bar. Therefore I ask for a setting to show it fixed.

The now defunct Secure Settings plugin used to have a feature that allowed you to enable or disable notifications for an app. I eventually figured out that this can be set with root and the "service call" command, using the following as a reference for Pie https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/refs/heads/pie-release/core/java/android/app/INotificationManager.aidl

So for the app "com.my.app", you first need to get the uid:

stat -c "%u" /data/data/com.my.app

Then run the following to disable notifications:

service call notification 10 s16 "com.my.app" i32 app_uid i32 0

To re-enable them, run:

service call notification 10 s16 "com.my.app" i32 app_uid i32 1

You can also fetch the notification status

I have AutoNotification Paid version, bought Android Go Edition device that doesn't have Notification Access feature that I overlooked & have rooted that phone by now. Any ideas/workarounds to let AutoNotification to access notifications despite not having that feature, through root access altering system accordingly, allowing AutoNotification to access notifications?

In addition to the idea before this which suggest some things to make it faster to navigate between actions when the user have a lot of tasks and projects

I suggest also making an option in preferences to load only one project by time because people who has slow devices have a lot of lags in navigating between tasks and actions 

This is a pretty obvious one, even if it has to generate a separate file, which would be a good additional option anyways.

Right now there is no direct way to backup/restore Global Variable names and values in native Tasker. A workaround exists via a "Global Variable Backup Task" posted on reddit a while back, but this should really be baked into Tasker to begin with.

The navigation bar customization is awesome.

I've added a button to my nav bar that is contextual.  Pressing it triggers a task that behaves differently depending on where I am, what network I'm connected to, what app I have open, and possibly more.  For example, if I'm not at home, it toggles my media play/pause.  When I'm at home, it toggles my lights on and off.  When I'm connected to my grocery store's wifi, it opens up Samsung pay.

I would like to be able to dynamically change the task's image in the navigation bar.  This way I can make

Media Controls only work when you specify the specific media player.

It would be better that there would be an option to run them on the foreground app whether it's Spotify or VLC or any other players.

For example, if Spotify is playing media button pauses Spotify and when VLC is playing media button pauses VLC. While now, unless you define which app the media controls should act on, this  task won't work.
