    Tasker App factory should be able to optionally create Android App Bundle (.aab) for kid apps aside the (.apk)

    Amos · 0 · Posted

    Android app bundle to be created optionally for tasker kid apps instead of Apk alone.

    Since Play store now requires developers to only upload Android app bundles of their applications.

    Please kindly work on this, thanks.

    Join no longer triggering Tasker profile

    Chris Thielker · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    My join commands that I use to create notifications in Tasker no longer are triggering Tasker to run tasks. Nothing has changed in my Tasker or server side. The task runs fine when triggered manually in Tasker.

    Deletion of two profiles at the same time is not possible

    Wolfgang Voigt · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    When I want to delete two profiles (or more) at the same time I select them both first.

    But the delete icon doesn't work then. It works when only one profile is selected, but not for two.

    I thinks this should be an easy fix.

    Regards

    %CELLSIG and %CELLSRV don't return the correct values

    Robert L Ryan · 0 · Posted

    %CELLSIG always returns -1 and %CELLSRV always returns unknown for LTE networks.

    Apparently this is a long standing issue.

    The state of Use New Cell API has no effect.

    "Allow Phone Access" in WebView will not stay checked

    Hjw6213 · 1 · Last reply by the squimbly

    This problem is posted on Reddit by u/IVIichaelGScott a while back but he did not get around to posting it here. I am therefore posting it here since I am having the same problem. 

    https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/9hl84r/allow_phone_access_in_webview_will_not_stay/

    https://i.imgur.com/6HEHOda.jpg Whenever I check "Allow Phone Access" and then back out of the screen, it un-checks itself. I have a stock T-Mobile Galaxy Note 9 on Android 8.1. Any ideas?

    This problem only happens if URI mode is selected in the webview options.

    I have a mi9 running AOSP ROM and android 9.

    AutoTools Dialog List functionality fatally lost upon tapping the Android Home or Recent button

    YsTL · 1 · Last reply by Pico Benguet

    When a task puts an AutoTools Dialog List on screen, and subsequently we tap the Android Home or Recent button, then :::

    [1:] not only the AutoTools List instance disappears unrecoverably, since it won't figure in the Android "Recent" scroller, 

    but also [2:] attempting to run the same task again will fail at putting the expected Dialog List onto screen, unless AutoTools is Force Stopped first (*>) [or the device rebooted],

    and moreover [3:] the same failure then also applies to whichever other task would need to generate any other AutoTools List dialog. __________________________________________________________

    Specific [Custom Setting] seems glitched, you can enable, disable but not read current state or toggle

    Theodore Calvin · 10 · Last reply by Sunny D

    Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G with (unrooted) Android 12 here.

    My S20 has a feature called "Extra Dim" (to dim the display even more than the default minimum) which is identified by the Custom Setting "Find Setting" as (secure) "reduce_bright_colors_activated" with value 0 or 1.

    I can ENABLE or DISABLE this specific setting without any problem using tasker, but surprisingly I cannot READ the current state, as Custom Setting doesn't return a value to the variable referred to by the "Read Setting To" setting (it returns the name of the variable, as usual when using uninitialized variables).

    CELLSRV Not Updating On LG V20 With Stock Android 7

    David White · 6 · Last reply by David White

    Hello. I have owned and used Tasker for years. I just got a new phone, LG V20 w/Android 7. This is a flagship phone and I am running stock (although systemless rooted) Android firmware. Unlike my last phone (Note 3, stock/rooted Android 4.4.2) Tasker is simply not updating the CELLSRV variable on the new LG phone. It always seems to report "unknown". I have tried enabling new cell api with no change. I have read posts from Pent that this can vary by ROM (specifically regarding CM Android) but I find it hard to believe that something like a flagship

    Import via share link fails due to missing permissions

    schlimbo · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    When trying to import a project that has root actions integrated (via TaskerNET link), the import fails on non-rooted devices.

    I get the following message during the import dialog:

    Missing Permissions

    Tasker needs the following permission(s) for the functionality you have configured:

    Root Access

    If i then click "ok" nothing happens and the import aborts without message

    I don't see a reason why the import should not work in this case.

    cell near does not work in Android 9

    Dale Cooper · 2 · Last reply by Dale Cooper

    The "Cell Near" feature in Profiles does not work in Android 9, neither with the original mode nor with the "new API" that is suggested in the app. specific conclusions at this time:  - No cell information is returned if I scan for the current location  - No current cell information is recognised, and therefore profiles with "Cell Near" as entry condition currently do not work

    Tasker is running deleted profiles

    Ciprian Trofin · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    I made a divert call profile, that did not work as expected (I set the pattern to **1 and redirect to my Mom's number, without knowing about the significance of * char). Basically, any call to a number ending in 1 was diverted to Mom.

    I deleted the profile but the diverted action was still active. I restarted the phone - same.

    I disabled Tasker -  the diversion was off. Enabling Tasker reactivated the diversion.

    Phone: Xiaomi Mi A1 - Android Pie.

    I'll have to stop using Tasker untill the problem is solved.

    Update: I deleted all profiles and restarted

    Log Warnings getThemedIconID

    There are log warnings i have been getting

    "UITHeme: 03.29.43#m#UITHeme: error: getThemedIconID: attr: 2130772109 failed to get ID"

     

    I think they are most likely related to

     

    "getResolvedVar: android.resource://net.dinglisch.android.taskerm/drawable/hl_aaa_ext_gear"

     

    I am using that icon in my notification actions, and the gear icon does exist cause it shows. not sure why the warning though...

    Support for Android TV running Oreo (e.g. Sony TVs)

    Ameel · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Similar to this previous post: https://tasker.helprace.com/i214-tasker-on-android-tv

    I don't mind sideloading etc, but the main issue is being able to access the full layout of Tasker. Currently the search button and 3-vertical-dots menu at top right corner do not show up on my TV (Sony running android 8). I tested latest released 5.7.2 and 5.8.0 beta 5. 

    Is Tasker somehow compatible with some Android 8 TVs and not others?
