    Root use only, but apply a firewall for intents. This can implicitly block, allow and log all intents sent and received on Android and apps.

    Missing functionallity of sending SMS to a contact group

    Andriy V. · 0 · Posted

    Hello, I've spotted a missing functionallity.

     I cannot choose a contact group in event send SMS. When clicking on magnifying lens -> I can choose only single contacts.

    This is how I would have to use the contact group (I have entered CG:Friends manually, because there is no way to choose a group of contacts):

    Ability to select a range of lines quickly.

    Fábio B. Quetz · 0 · Posted

    I would like to suggest adding a feature that would greatly facilitate the selection of several lines: when selecting a line and selecting another line, then make the selection of any interval between them. When you have a task with many lines, it is difficult to make the selection one by one.  Thankful

    Allow detection of Tasker as a foreground app as an "expert" option

    Richard Kemp · 0 · Posted

    Currently Tasker windows do not affect %WIN, and Tasker can not be chosen as an app context. This is a deliberate restriction to prevent endless loops and other issues.

    I propose providing an option to remove this restriction, akin to "expert" mode in preferences.

    Native Method to get Foreground App

    Robert L Ryan · 9 · Last reply by Paul Hedderly

    There is currently no built-in action to get the foreground app name and package. The %WIN variable is inaccurate and often empty, making it unsuitable.

    I know this can be done with AutoInput, but a native action for this would be very useful, especially in kid apps.

    Add Keyboard "Is shown" and "Close" Actions

    Robert L Ryan · 8 · Last reply by AHMET BUYUKHANLI

    We currently have an action to show the soft keyboard. However, there is currently no way to detect if the keyboard is already showing. Some way to detect this state has been requested several times on various Tasker forums.

    I request an action to close the keyboard, if currently shown, and an action that returns the current state of the keyboard.

    Support of "android.intent.action.CALL"

    Igor Baydasov · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi. It would be nice to allow Tasker to intercept the "android.intent.action.CALL". I'd like to use it to make Tasker to catch call events, then wait until my Android car head-unit connects to my phone and place calls using its bluetooth connection as soon as it's established. (Head-unit and phone connect after Tasker sends through USB modem an SMS command to the phone)

    Trigger Bixby commands

    James Jermain · 2 · Last reply by TaskerEverything

    On the newer Samsung phones, Bixby has access to many system settings that are not available without root.  It would be great if we could send commands to Bixby.  Maybe using intents or Bixby "Type to Bixby" function.

    Event Monitor that performs a task when Tasker is disabled manually

    Tyler T · 0 · Posted

    If you use any Tasker permanent notifications in any of your tasks, and then decide to disable tasker while they are still showing, they can't be removed unless manually done in tasker. So it would be great if tasker had an event Monitor that would perform a task whenever tasker is dosabled manually either in app or from the quick notification buttons.

    Intercept notification - Detect package name

    Luigi Nocco · 1 · Last reply by Richard Kemp

    Hi,

    Currently when a notification is intercepted, vars %evtprm1 %evtprm2 %evtprm are populated but none contains the package name of the application that originated the notification.

    Can you add this info in %evtprm4?

    Thanks

    Provide Capability To Encrypt Files Created With Tasker

    Pete · 1 · Last reply by Richard Kemp

    Its great that Tasker can create files and backups, but due to potentially sensitive data that could be in the file or the backup it would be useful if Tasker could offer the option to encrypt that data so its protected while stored at rest.

    The option to encrypt always increases processing overhead so that should be a consideration when opting to enable the feature.

    The option to decrypt the file could be done within Tasker itself, but that would make that created file unable to be decrypted by anything other than Tasker.  Ideally an open source utility or industry

    I have exited tasker so many times with the back button on the wing screen. An option to add 'Are you sure? before exit would be great.

    Ability for inverted geofences

    Wolfgang Voigt · 2 · Last reply by Wolfgang Voigt

    I'm using tasker for years now and I'm very happy with it. But one thing Is missing I could never fix whatever I did:

    There is no option to define a Profile-Rule like "When I'm outside of that area". I know the following workaround: Define a geofence and only add an outgoing task.

    But that method brings some problems.

    1. It's not combineable with other conditions:

    I always add another condition on top of the ruleset, to make sure that the geofence is only checked when other variables have the expected value. This is important because they will be checked

    Improved project browsing

    Richard Kemp · 0 · Posted

    When you have many projects, scrolling left and right between them is a pain, especially if you can't remember exactly where a project is positioned relative to the rest.

    It would be good to have some sort of project browser, allowing filtering and sorting, etc.

    In Action: Variable Query and Lock ('Allow Cancel' enabled), when you close a querying popup by back button or by 'X' button on the popup, there's no way to continue the task coming after those actions.
