    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

    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

    Menu element multiple select customize

    Tyler T · 0 · Posted

    Currently, it seems when a menu elements is in multiple selection mode, when selecting any entry, it highlights said entry in a real thin, blue boarder. 

    Would it be possible to add in a feature to customize the effect of when an entry is selected inside of the menu element? Maybe change the color of the boarder around the selection, the size of the boarder, or maybe even a way to highlight the entire entry in a different color. 

    Depending on the color or the scene/menu elements, can sometimes be hard to see which entry is selected and which isn't.

    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

    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?

    Request: Add round Rounded Corner radius in Scene image

    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.

    Action Lock Feature - Within Task

    Kyle Tameirao · 0 · Posted

    The ability to lock down any actions within a task you want so that it can't be deleted while it's locked. This is useful for creating tasks and basically using lock to save actions or sequences that are finished while still working on other portions of the task. Would also make deleting everything except the actions you want to keep much easier and prevent accidental deletion.

    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

    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.

    Suggestion for the new Copy/Paste conditions option across actions

    SmartPhoneLover · 0 · Posted

    Suggestion (1)

    I think placing the Copy & Paste options under the Conditions section would be better, than having to open the top menu.

    I mean, instead of placing the correspondign options in the top menu, allow Tasker to show/hide the Copy/Paste buttons in the Conditions section if the user copies (and wanted to paste) conditions from an action. So, by default if no conditions are copied from any task, the buttons (copy) could remain hidden, and only appear (paste) when Tasker detects that some conditions have been copied.

    • Copy button: always visible.
    • Paste button: only appears when the user

    Copy Move Paste a single condition line from IF or other condition Blocks

    269red · 0 · Posted

    The Condition features are a great idea !!!   But what I miss most, is the possibilty to move, copy, paste a single condition statement within the IF of an action and to copy a single conditon statement to another action. In the example below, I would like to Move, Copy, Paste a single line like %WifiCMD ~ auto withthin the Condition block or to other Actions or IF statements !   Action Edit Condition %BatLow SET OR %WifiCMD ~ auto AND %Usr !SET

    Action to enable & disable projects

    urkindagood · 0 · Posted

    Title says.

    Expected behaviour for disabled project.

    1. The profiles status remains unchanged.
    2. The profiles stop monitoring their assigned contexts, so they won't trigger the tasks they are tied with as if they are disabled.
    3. The tasks and scenes are still useable by other projects.

    I think It may be better to put the 3rd point under the action that toggles the project so user could have more control over their behaviour.

    Some additional actions or variables may be needed to query their status, and retrieve the project list.

    Non-Unique Task, Profile, and Scene Names

    Proposal:

    Allow multiple tasks, scenes, and profiles to have the same name so long as they're in different projects. You can have the default be to check the current project so you don't break people's stuff and you can make it so that if there's only one task with said name, it'll use that one to further the not breaking of stuff.

    Examples:

    1) Project "Main" has a task named "Get Project Name" which returns "Main" while the project "Chrome" also has one which returns "Chrome". You could access Main's task thusly, "Main(Get Project Name)" and if the calling task
