    Display Orientation state should distinguish between landscape and landscape-reverse

    William Faulk · 0 · Posted

    The "Display Orientation" state allows us to trigger when the display orientation changes between landscape and portrait, but it does not trigger when Display Orientation changes between landscape and landscape-reverse. (Or presumably, between portrait and portrait-reverse.)

    The state should be expanded to trigger on all display orientation changes.

    Allow an empty string in Variable Set action

    virtual · 0 · Posted

    Please allow to set a variable to an empty string, even with a warning if required.

    There are several cases when this is useful, for example when combining multiple variables when you want one of them to concat without any value. Or when formatting with JSON a string like:

    and you want the var to be a string which could be empty. Yes, you can apply the quotes inside the var, but it is not as intuitive; or you can use Variable Convert with a null URL code, but this requires 2 actions.

    Use shizuku for adb privilege

    It would be nice to acquire ADB privilege from Shizuku rather than having it separately.

    Can Tasker Support Shizuku and Sui?

    cyanver · 0 · Posted

    Shizuku:

    https://github.com/RikkaApps/Shizuku

    Using system APIs directly with adb/root privileges from normal apps through a Java process started with app_process.

    Sui:

    https://github.com/RikkaApps/Sui

    Modern super user interface (SUI) implementation on Android. It mainly provides the ability to use Android APIs directly (almost in Java as the identity of the root, and start app's own AIDL-style Java service under root.

     

    Swiftbackup,sai and icebox already support shizuku,and greenify will supoort it soon.

    Use Shizuku as background alternative to ADB and/or Root

    The very, very short description of Shizuku is that it is an App that allow other apps to use actions reserved for ADB or Rooted devices.

    Shizuku is on the PlayStore, and the whole procedure is incredibly easy in comparison to Root, and even ADB Wifi.

    And yeah, I know you've implemented ADB Wifi shenanigans, but If the user has Tasker and any of these apps, then they are likely not going to want to do a separate procedure for Tasker. Unlike ADB Wifi and the Permissions App, it also means that tutorials and guides are offloaded to Shizuku

    Change folder for Tasker-Backup in Google Drive

    Cesar Bernard · 13 · Last reply by vbs

    It would be beneficial if wen could move the Tasker-Backup anywhere in Google Drive. At the moment it's on the start folder of "My Drive" and it can't be moved. Else a new Tasker-Backup-Folder will be created.

    Enhanced JSON Reading to better handle arrays

    alg · 0 · Posted

    Idea: Make JSONPath syntax available in tasker.

    Currently JSON query syntax in tasker does not support the JSONPath standard (currently in proposed status) as described in https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9535.html and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSONPath

    In particular arrays are awkward to deal with, especially for more complicated structures (arrays in objects in arrays... etc.)

    It's possible to work around this at the expense of additional tasker actions, or by using Javascript(Let) but it would be preferable if the standard was provided for.

    Some examples which don't work well are: %my_var(N)            Nth element of unnamed array. Have to use the rather ugly
