    Granular control over factory kids app creation

    Peter Gomberg · 0 · Posted

    I want to be able to try different things with the kids factory apps. For some reason when I make one and run the app on my Oculus Go, for example, the Android VR headset, the application will not run within the Oculus TV Android launcher like all other 2D Android apps I sideload onto the device but rather instead it displays itself over the entire display thereby breaking the use of it in VR on that headset. All other 2D Android applications work as expected, that is, that launch within the built in 2D Android app launcher which is

    Private DNS - select mode

    Steve Rothkin · 2 · Last reply by Steve Rothkin

    Allow selecting private DNS mode (off, automatic, or private DNS provider hostname).

    I use adguard-dns.com private DNS to block most ads on my Pixel 6. However, some networks (e.g. BJ's wholesale club) block access to this DNS provider (or sometimes even Android's automatic private DNS) and only work if I temporarily turn off Private DNS while connected to that network and later turn it back on when I leave.

    I'd  like to setup a profile that automatically turns off Private DNS when connected to specific networks that have this issue and turn it back on (with the already configured DNS

    Lock cerain plugins and task actions

    Peyman Babazadeh · 0 · Posted

    When I lock Tasker, it appropriately locks some task actions like “Disable Tasker”. I was wondering if you can allow the options of adding other actions to the list of not allowed when locked. For example, I want to lock access to “SecureTasks” plugin actions while Tasker has an active lock, because that plugin has full access to my phone.

    Create Notification from JSON (AutoNotification)

    Spurious · 0 · Posted

    Ideally, creating notifications would be possible from JSON inputs. You provide the necessary fields and it would create the AutoNotification with the properties. I assume this to be not too far away from how it works today. But it would help massively in re-using parts.

    add search to autotools dialog list

    It would be great if AutoTools dialog list had an option to turn on a search field to find a specific entry on the display list.

    Track the date/time a task is run

    Evan W · 0 · Posted

    It would be very useful to retain and display the most recent run time for each task.  

    I would be of great assistance in troubleshooting (ie - did the task really run or not)

    Also it would be useful in keeping things clean and deleting task that are no longer used.

    Authentication Dialog - Credentials Only Auth

    Nick Betcher · 0 · Posted

    In API 30+ it is now possible to have the BiometricPrompt.Builder (used by the Authentication dialog) require only credentials. In the US, the government may compel the owner of a phone to unlock it using their fingerprint since the government views a fingerprint as "public record" versus where a password is not. Besides, a person who is sleeping can have their fingerprints used against them while unconcious.

    As such, I feel that the Authentication dialog should allow the user of Tasker to specify that it should only ask for the device's password without prompting at all for biometrics.

    This is

    intent specify path

    ttschnz · 0 · Posted

    I propose extending Tasker's "Intent" feature to not only react to URL schemes but also to allow users to edit the "android:path" component of the URL. Specifically, I would like to have the ability to trigger Tasker tasks when clicking on a link that leads to a URL like "https://www.mywebsite.com/customcommand," where the "android:path" component would be "www.mywebsite.com/customcommand."

    Use Case: The primary use case for this feature enhancement is to enable Tasker to execute tasks on my Android device without actually opening the corresponding website. For example, if I click on a link that directs to "https://www.mywebsite.com/customcommand," Tasker would recognize the

    Bypass lockscreen restrictions using Google Assistant from lockscreen

    Redpill · 0 · Posted

    Infuriatingly, Google restricted its own Google Assistant's functionality from lockscreens, with the assistant now frequently replying "You'll need to unlock your phone for that" ...even for things as simple as asking Google for directions/navigation!

    If someone had the smarts to figure out a way to utilize Tasker (with ADB) to bypass these limitations, that would be PHENOMENAL.

    Perhaps Tasker/ADB could trick the assistant to thinking the screen is still unlocked?

    Show a portion of comment section in profile and task tab.

    urkindagood · 0 · Posted

    Preferably the first paragraph of the comment section (rather than limited characters), displayed under their name and this option should be accessible a toggle.

    This way, user could leave a brief description of their tasks and profiles and read them right away.

    Make "Go to task" context menu option...

    Make "Go to task" context menu option when highlighting a "Perform Task" action. Like "Convert to if block" in actions with conditional statements.

    Add onExit task to scenes.

    Add an onExit task to scenes such that when one presses the back button or the tiny little "x" the bottom-right corner of the scene said task is performed. AutoInput doesn't seem to be up to the task (no pun intended) or I haven't figured it out, yet.

    Edit: I found the way using the "key" tab of the scene's properties.

    Slight change to the behavior of the "add action" (+) button when editing a task.

    Change the add action button (the + dealy) such that it adds the action above the currently selected action as if "insert action" from the menu were clicked.

    Add a "millisec" option to Additional Time parameter of Volume Up and Volume Down events

    Viper21 · 0 · Posted

    Would you please consider adding a millisec (msec) parameter to the Volume Up, Volume Down, and Volume Up/Down events in Tasker?

     

    Currently, the "Additional Time" parameter accepts only whole numbers as seconds, which doesn't help if I want to configure the volume long press to 0.5 sec.

    Make Notifications Persistent again

    inguscrowe · 0 · Posted

    With Android 14 update, Notifications cannot be persistent anymore. So I am always dismissing ones I want. This is request to give Autonotifications an option to make them reappear if they are accidentally dismissed, perhaps in the "command on dismiss" area there can be an option to reappear if you want it to be persistent .

    Combine Features: AutoTools Toast + Tasker Toast Layout

    Elias Cabrera · 0 · Posted

    The Tasker Toast Layout has some great features that the AutoTools Toast doesn't, like appearing on the lockscreen and timeout. On the other hand, the AutoTools Toast has more customization, like font, padding, and more. 

    Could AutoTools be updated to add these missing features? Or could Tasker include the toast customization that AutoTools has? Having the functionality of both with be amazing. Thanks!

    show indicator on profiles/tasks that have changed properties/hidden variables

    bitclick · 1 · Last reply by bitclick

    When i scroll through profiles/tasks in the lists i cannot see if there are some changed (not default) properties or profile/task -variables set.  This makes debugging hard, for ex. i wonder why my profile does not activate when in fact there is a cooldown set. 

    If tasks/properties would have an indicator showing "there is something set in the properties." debugging would be a lot quicker sometimes.

    Confirmatory Box before Toggling a Profile from The Home Page

    S. M. M. Kaisar · 0 · Posted

    Accidental touches cause profiles to be turned off. Can you provide an option by which users can decide to show a confirmatory box before turning on/off a profile from the home page?
