    Android auto messaging (support app??)

    Patrick B · 0 · Posted

    Android auto has limitations for 3rd party apps. Currently media and messaging are supported, navigation is sparse

    What I would like to be able to is retrieve notifications from certain apps and make them visible in Android auto.

    I can read them out loud already, but I would like to see them handled as messages. 

    For. Instance 

    A Co worker posts via slack.

    A notification is triggered

    This notification is captured within tasker (via autonotification )

    Tasker sends it (via support app? ) to trigger a card in Android auto

    (alternative route could be to hijack the signature of an

    Vars/Variables tab accessible in the Task Edit menu

    Andrew Purio · 1 · Last reply by Richard Kemp

    It be would awesome if the Vars/Variables tab is accessible in the Task Edit menu (may it be through swiping from the right/left or in any available way). Not only that it would help a lot of users which are fond of using multiple variables inside a task such as myself but it can also help in saving time in creating a complex task by checking the current value of the variables in the task without exiting the menu.

    Ability to launch an app in pop up view

    Tyler T · 1 · Last reply by Tyler T

    Would be great if tasker had the ability to launch apps in pop up view. Not sure if it would be possible but I do know that there is a "multi window" edge pannel for Samsung that can do this. Would be an extremely helpful feature for certain situations.

    Add a way to highlight new actions in the Select Action display

    Jim Becker · 0 · Posted

    It's great to have the red badges show the new actions after an update. But they go away after you open them to look at the capabilities. 

    It would be great to have an option to highlight the new actions based on a user selected version number. It would be most helpful if the user could make that selection as an option in the display.

    Audio recording in Wav format (or uncompressed format).

    lux81 · 0 · Posted

    I need to record audio in Wav format (or another uncompressed format) without using external apps which can interface with Tasker.

    I know we're talking about smartphones and not professional equipment, but for the same device, by recording Wav files with external app plugin, I get a much higher quality sound than Tasker. On the other hand, Tasker offers better control over recordings, file management, and does not require tricks with time delays to make sure the recording is saved.

    More Easy Create Intents

    Bruno Davi · 0 · Posted

    I know that the Send Intent action is for advanced users but because it does not facilitate their creation with a button to show a list of intent patterns used in apps as Android.intent.action. (VIEW | MAIN | GET_CONTENTAND) he data such as date, extras, package, class and improve productivity when creating it is easy to end up forgetting something like that. I know that the plugins that make it easy to work this, to be sincere I think I'm very boring to make the user ending having to install several plugins to use with one or two actions if the

    Terminal Emulator In Tasker

    Bruno Davi · 0 · Posted

    Serious optimum if the task had this letter on the sleeve with this clearly the taste of liberty of many limitations when performing more complex actions, I know that has the Run Shell action, but if the task had an emulator similar to the Termless without using any plugin and still to create the APK guard everything and the one. Despite that I know that and a very difficult idea to take this here this idea.

    Vi que muitos apps de automação tem essa opção, e eu realmente preciso dessa ação, pois quero criar um projeto para recuperar as senhas que eu tenho sem ter que digitar uma a uma. Essa ação tera que adicionar uma nova rede Wi-Fi no Tasker sem que o usuário a digite.

    Support "wind down" mode in pie

    In general I prefer to have the wind down mode (monochrome display) enabled. While driving I would like to be able to disable this mode temporarily (similar to night light).

    Run Shell event

    4pda.ru · 0 · Posted

    Run Shell event shall be fired when a shell command prints to its standard output (stdout) a line matching a pattern.

    Example:

    event Run Shell [ Command: getevent Line:*00000004 Use Root:On ]

    The typical usage is to monitor keypresses (via getevent utility) and system log records (via logcat utility).

    Note: An implementation should ensure that the line buffering only is performed by an operating system and run time libraries. Any other buffering would make the event meaningless.

    Perhaps, a virtual terminal (pty) is the best IPC to be used.

    Automagic implements Command Output trigger, see http://automagic4android.com/en/help/components-triggers#trigger_command_output but the triiger may

    Nested state contexts

    4pda.ru · 0 · Posted

    Tasker supports grouping of states in profiles from the beginning. The enter task starts when all states become active, the exit task starts when one of the states become inactive.

    The notion of nested contexts proposed here changes the behaviour of the exit task only. Namely, contexts in a profile are ordered, there are broad contexts and narrow contexts, the exit task starts if a narrow context becomes inactive while all broad contexts are still active.

    For example let's consider simple profile

    profile HomeAtNight

    broad state Time from 22:00 to 6:00

        narrow state WIFI Connected HomeAP

            enter task

    Add Search and Delete to Notificatiom Category

    Robert L Ryan · 2 · Last reply by Robert L Ryan

    Currently the only way to assign a category is to manually type it in. This becomes tedious and error prone when several Notify actions share the same category.

    One solution would be to add a 'magnifying glass', which would allow selection of a previously defined category. Would this be possible?

    Would it also be possible to add a method to delete categories which are no longer being used?

    Data->Restore->User Local Backup should always be available as an option

    Brett · 0 · Posted

    A common use case for this request: 0) Freshly wiped device  1) Install and Launch Tasker  2) Try to restore recently downloaded local .xml backup file by navigating to Data->Restore Current implementation of the restore/backup feature is poorly designed as it is blocking this likely common use case. At least one other report of this "Feature" request was found: https://tasker.helprace.com/i356-manual-backup-only-creates-local-backup-and-restore-only-restores-from-cloud Original "Bug" Documentation: https://tasker.helprace.com/i462-tasker-bug-data-restore-user-local-backup-didn-t-appear-until-i-navigated-to-data-backup

    Project Export Without Including Profiles,Tasks,Scenes from Other Projects

    agnostic-apollo · 0 · Posted

    Can you add support for project export without including tasks/scenes/profiles from other projects.

    The problem is that say you have 3 projects. project 1 and 2 use common helper profiles,tasks and scenes which are all defined in project 3. Now if you export project 1 and 2 and share it with someone. They will only be able to import project 1 and importing project 2 will fail because when they imported project 1 all the helper tasks from project 3 were also imported, now they cant import project 2 because tasker already contains tasks with the same name.

    Anchor Action Label Text

    agnostic-apollo · 0 · Posted

    The first line of the anchor text should be displayed as the Anchor Action's Label Text inside the Task List so that we know what the anchor is for. Anchors are mostly used for comments and goto statements, and their text should be shown so that the code makes sense more easily, otherwise anchors have to be opened to see what they are for. For people who dont want the text shown could maybe write the text starting from the second line or maybe an option can be added in tasker settings to show or hide it.

    Can there be an option to change the text size of all action labels in the task list... I am talking about the following action boxes

    __________________________

    | Variable Set                         |

    | Name %name To %value     |

    __________________________

    Sometimes variable names are a bit long and hard to know which variable the action is using...
