    REMINDER handling in CALENDAR INSERT action

    Dennis Pesin · 0 · Posted

    When I add event in my system calendar via "Calendar Insert" action, there is no option to turn on reminder for this event. My event is put into calendar, but for the calendar to remind me of it, I have to go to the calendar and turn on reminder manually, adjusting when the reminder should trigger. I want to turn it on and adjust in the tasker action.

    Good day. Can you make the xml of the exported app encrypted? So no one can read your hardworked tasker project. Thank you

    Task silent overwritten

    Hello. I have a common task for several projects. When exporting a project, the common task is exported correctly. But when importing a project, the task is quietly overwritten. Can the tasker show a warning or error that a task with same name already exists and interrupt the import? I have to first delete an existing task, export or rename it and then import project.

    ADB "helper" Service/proxy

    MattH · 0 · Posted

    For some time I've been using tasks & associated Termux scripts from enable_adb_wifi_on_device_boot_android_11 to enable ADB Wifi on my phone following a reboot.

    Since upgrading to Android 13 the task dependent on Read_Logs doesn't work (without relying on ADB!) so I've made an additional task (triggered by VolDn) to read input fields via AutoInput, parse for IP:port, and pass this to the Termux script to connect to the IP:port presented and enable ADB.

    Because over time more Tasker functionality seems to need a reliance on ADB (Read_Logs in Android 13 being prime example) my thought is to have tasker run

    Tasker auto recovery error

     

    Sometimes Tasker fails, and this interrupts my work. These are my ideas

    • Send a third person the fail error with the following information
      • Error message, where specify the task and the steps that fail
      • Send the runlog.txt file
    • Add a Profile where the user can decide what would like to do when this happens

    Allow "Stop" Action to Interrupt "Wait"ing Task

    Nick Betcher · 0 · Posted

    In my opinion, despite task priorities and all the other fancy (yet complicating) features/factors, a Stop action should actually stop a task (hey, concept! Haha), regardless of what it is doing. On some levels this may be difficult, but stopping a task that is currently in a Wait really shouldn't be one of those difficult situations, regardless if Tasker is using Android's alarm scheduling system or an internal timer system.

    It's trivial to test:

    - Wait in one task

    - Attempt to Stop it in another during the other task's Wait action time.

    The task is not only not stopped,

    Event for lost data connection

    Thomas Larsen Wessel · 0 · Posted

    I need my Android phone to warn me (eg by playing a tune) when it loses internet connectivity. As far as I can tell, such an event has not been defined in Tasker. Am I right? Could you add such an even to the app?

    As far as I can tell, it should not be hard to implement such an event. Source: https://medium.com/@veniamin.vynohradov/monitoring-internet-connection-state-in-android-da7ad915b5e5. 

    One useful scenario - Why I need it:

    I do some basic surveying using SparkFun Surveyor. In order to give very precise results it must connect to the internet to retrieve correction data. This is called RTK/NTRIP. I

    Add an %item_index variable to each item in a scene's menu, enabling unique images for each list item in a menu

    thomas · 0 · Posted

    Currently in scene menus (those are the lists), every item in the list reuses the same image. The only way to give each item a unique thumbnail image is if it's manually input. For variable input, it's impossible.

     

    This variable would enable variable-populated menus to have unique images for each item.  For example, if your list contains a list of image files within a folder, you'd be able to display a thumbnail of each image in its entry in the list.  And if you were displaying a list of songs, you could show a thumbnail for each song.

    Access Tasker environment functions from actions

    Joe Cornelius · 0 · Posted

    It would be extraordinarily helpful if Tasker provided actions that let us use some or all of the same underlying Tasker management functions that the Tasker environment and Task Editor use.

    Here are some examples of what I'm asking for:

    An action that returns a tasks's cdate and/or edate.  It could accept the taskname as a parameter.

    An action that recognized which task(s) is/are highlighted in a project's Task view would work well with the requested cdate/edate action.  (And a similar action that recognizes selected actions while I'm in the Task Editor.)

    An action that works in the Task Editor

    battery drain

    netbird · 0 · Posted

    Is it possible that Tasker will present a list of profiles and tasks sorted by their energy consumption in the past 24H or 7 days? In addition, is it possible to add an action that will present the energy consumption at the end of a task?

    SHIN WONG · 0 · Posted

    Could you please add a round corner in Scene image element?(set corner radius for image,Not backgound color rounded corner)

    Rounded corners are a more popular design. It is more friendly than rectangular rectangles. You can use it to show all UI with images: imagine that round corner App Icon,dialog with background images,user-defined button..

    Notification click event in Notify action

    Anuraag Agrawal · 0 · Posted

    Add Notification Click event inside Notify action. Sometimes a single profile is enough but due to lack of Notification Click event inside Notify action we need to create another profile with Notification Click event.

    Add option to set separator for CSV structure

    Konstantin Lisnyak · 0 · Posted
    Currently, Tasker can only extract data from a CSV structure if a comma is used as a separator. But many CSV files use different separators due to the fact that the data itself can contain commas. So it would be nice to be able to choose a custom separator, as is already possible in most array-related actions.

    Folders for tasks within a project

    Drasiel · 0 · Posted

    Hello, I have a project that has enough tasks I had to break it into 2 different projects to be able to use the UI properly. There are 29 tasks for the project and as soon as the list of tasks goes over 17 on my phone screen, the ui starts getting janky and it becomes difficult to move and rename any of the tasks in the project. This made me realize that having folders that behave like the collapsable If or For actions would alleviate my issue, while also making organization within a project better. Cheers.

    Set, Detect, and Avoid Mock Locations

    Nick Betcher · 0 · Posted

    (this is technically a duplicate of https://tasker.helprace.com/i1124-mock-up-on-tasker but the title of that post is misleading, at best. It also doesn't have very detailed requirements or a user story. So, here is a better one:)

    As a user of Tasker, I need the ability to be able to set my system's location via the Developer Option's Mock Location App feature so I can ask Tasker to set a fake GPS location for the rest of the system.

    I also need the ability for Tasker to "see past" that fake location so that profile conditions that use Location-driven conditions still work as

    Fullscreen / Resize Scenes

    Nick Betcher · 0 · Posted

    As a user of Tasker, I need the way to be able to ensure that a scene is, and remains, a certain size, even after the scene has been edited through the Tasker Scene Editor UI. Often it is needed for the scene to be fullscreen and that any actions that alter the screen size/orientation cause the scene to be resized to fill the new screen size.

    Sometimes, it is nice to be able to resize a scene programmatically to a specific size (not necessarily fullscreen) from a Task's or Scene's actions for a variety of reasons. An option in Create

    Something like a try-catch block

    HippoMan · 0 · Posted

    When writing code for a task, it would be useful to be able to implement something like a try-catch block, similar to this ... try   action-1   action-2   action-3   ... more actions and logic ... catch    action-a    action-b    action-c    ... perform these actions and logic if    any of the actions in the "try" block fail;    otherwise, skip this "catch" block if all    of the "try" actions succeed ... end-try-catch

    It doesn't necessarily have to be this exact try/catch syntax, but whatever the exact syntax, similar functionality would be useful and

    Default on tap for NOTIFY action

    WhirlWolf · 0 · Posted

    Currently when a notification is created there is no default on tap functionality.

    We have to create another profile as NOTIFICATION CLICKED event and configure.

    We should be directly able to configure on NOTIFICATION CLICK functionality in the NOTIFY action itself.

    It will be great addition to tasker imo.
