    Accessing multiple indexes of an array

    Richard Kemp · 1 · Last reply by Frits van Bommel

    Suppose array %alphabet contains the values a,b,c,d,e. Currently if I want to access the first, third, and fifth I could write %alphabet(1) %alphabet(3) %alphabet(5), but this is a bit cumbersome as the number of entries I want increases.

    Some programming languages offer the ability to access multiple array indexes in one function, in Tasker this would look something like this:

    %alphabet(1,3,5) --> evaluates to a,c,e

    This would be especially useful when searching for array matches using %var(#?pattern) - you could use %var(%var(#?pattern)) to instantly get all members of %var() which match pattern.

    Permit bigger scenes than physical display and that can be scrollable

    Joao, thanks for this wonderful app. 

    I think that would be nice to permit bigger scenes than physical display and that can be scrollable.

    Thanks in advance

    Ability to show maximum-width Task Names when adding Tasks to a Profile

    Tasker Pro · 1 · Last reply by Richard Kemp

    Right now when a device is in Portrait mode and a Task needs to be added to a Profile - the menu that pops up truncates Task names since the menu is only maybe half the screen width.

    There should be an option to have that menu extend the full width of the screen so the most characters as possible of the Task name can be displayed.

    Right now Tasker just randomly cuts characters and replaces them with "..."

    Change Scenes Seekbar to Material Design

    Most elements in scenes have been updated to Material Design, but the seekbar has been left out and its feelings are you. Please update the seekbar to match MD and the rest of the scene elements. Thanks!

    Allow other characters for entry for Position for Array Push and Array Pop

    Noel Yap · 6 · Last reply by Tasker Pro

    Arrays can be used as queues if `%array_name(#)` can be used in the Position field. I know a very large integer can be used but `%array_name(#)` conveys intention much better.

    Profile execution stats

    Against each profile, show the date/time it was last executed. Additionally, touching the date/time stamp can bring up additional details like how long did the profile execute? How many times has it executed in the last day etc.

    I would like already the last executed time stamp

    Add an option to easily move the list items

    Niyon S V · 3 · Last reply by Dave Wiard

    I have a suggestion that when we rearrange any list item, for example some tasks list it can't be dragged and dropped to the desired place easily. If we tap & hold any item and move to some position it doesn't move to the place which we intended to move. This happens to profiles, tasks, actions,.. etc. we have to move everything up and down many times to get them in desired position.

    If you add a 'drag & drop' icon, that appears when we start to move an item, it'd be so helpful. If possible, when you get enough

    New Tasker function getDateFormatted

    Stefan · 3 · Last reply by Stefan

    Can we please have this as a Tasker function? I guess it's a very common functionality needed by many ambitious projects and if anybody has already the function in his Tasker configuration new imports of projects containing this task as well will fail.

    Fix %BATT (Battery Level) variable "not valid" in Variable Value State context

    virtual · 1 · Last reply by badbob001

    Please fix this long standing "bug" (actually not implemented code), already described on the original thread here:

    https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tasker/8Nke4GLfa1I

    Basically either the ability to put %BATT variable in Profile > State > Variables > Variable Value (not allowed at the moment) or to set the battery ranges by variable in Profile > State > Power > Battery Level.

    Using variable in Time Event Context for the Every Time Repeat

    Steffen · 3 · Last reply by Mosaad Gaber

    Hello TASKER community and DEV,

    we fill in Time Event from a Szene for Custom Profiles for Start and End of Actions.

    Now it would not be bad, if we can fill the Every Time Context also from a variable, the repetition rhythm fix of hour or also as variable.

    attached a screen design - Would be an idea.

    Tasker UI - possibility to show/sort profiles based on the priority

    Daniel Hajduch · 3 · Last reply by Daniel Hajduch

    Recently I had some problems with profile execution, I have a lot of profiles, and I found that it was a problem with priorities. But checking the profile priority means a lot of clicks. Would it be possible to show profile priority next to the profile on/off switch? I think at left side of the switch. Or add priority as separate column with possibility to sort profiles by it's priorities?

    Thanks

    Project Variables listed in VARS tab

    JP · 1 · Last reply by josephlegrand

    The new project/profile/task variables are hidden via a long press and press in a menu. It would be great if they were listed in the VARS tab to easily check what value they are currently set to.

    Also, it would be great if they were visually distinguished from local variables.

    Implement Android Enterprise API (Device Owner)

    Nick Betcher · 3 · Last reply by Nick Betcher

    There's a huge, Huge, HUGE untapped resource out there: Device Owner (NOT Device Admin). You can do all sorts of wild things that most experienced Android powerusers had no idea even exists and tend to try to root their device (unnecessarily) to accomplish. SecureTask accomplishes this goal, but with the developer having suddenly abandoned all of his apps and began ignoring emails about acquisition of the source code (they're all free apps), we need a long-term replacement.

    SecureTask is also very vulnerable to external apps because it performs no password verification when it receives the plugin fire intents, even if

    Native MQTT support

    Spiregarden · 2 · Last reply by Mark de bruin

    MQTT would be the most logical way of Tasker to integrate to a home automation or vehicle.

    Current 3rd party plugins have various problems:

    - "Join" requires Google Play framework

    - "MQTT Client" by Webneurons is no longer maintained and it contains a google ad tracker

    - "Node Red integration" requires Node Red, and feels unnecessary

    For me, native MQTT support would be the most important feature of Tasker. If I'm not alone here, I'd be happy to take part (via Patreon) in covering the expenses of developing the native support.

    Option to disable Display Off Monitoring

    Agraetz83 · 0 · Posted

    At the moment tasker only allows to increase the display off monitoring interval to 9999 seconds (~2,8h). I'd like to disable it entirely or better yet take FULL control which profiles are allowed to wake the device and which aren't.

    Background: I've got an exported kid app which is supposed to wake the device at predefined times. This is absolutely critical. There isn't anything else that should be done, if the user isn't actively using the device. Now Doze works like this: if an app wakes the device, it's blocked for another 9 minutes from waking the device again. If

    Battery level state set from variable

    badbob001 · 2 · Last reply by Rino0099

    Please allow the battery level state from/to values to be set from variables. I would have expected this would be possible in advanced mode for all states, but there are exceptions.

    My use case is that if I want different battery levels based on things like current user, location, or time (weekend/weekday/holiday), then I can just update some global variable instead of creating a separate profile for each variation.

    "System / Send Intent" action should support more than 3 EXTRAs

    Kaarel Kaljurand · 1 · Last reply by schrott97

    I want to launch an app (http://kaljurand.github.io/K6nele/) that supports lots of EXTRAs via Tasker, but Tasker's "System / Send Intent" only supports 3 EXTRAs. Maybe this is just a UI limitation, but even then it is a limitation, for which I don't know a good workaround.

    Scenes sizes

    Giancarlo Ferreira · 1 · Last reply by Somesh

    Greetings! I would like to leave a tip: in the next update, you can put the option to use percentage (%) to change the size of the resolution of the scenes, besides the pixels? It would help a lot to fit all screen sizes. Ex: to cover the entire screen, just place 100% vertical and 100% horizontal. Thank you.
