    Change camera's storage location to avoid Google Photos to auto-upload the photos.

    Daniel · 0 · Posted

    Currently Tasker can only store images into DCIM/Tasker which has the problem that Google's Photos app will index them and upload them to Google Photos without the ability to exclude that directory. We should be able to select any target directory.

    media recorder

    Maxime · 0 · Posted

    Hello,

    I can't record calls (incoming and outgoing). Let me explain.

    For that I use a task with the action "Record sound", found in the tab "media". I have specified the destination path (correct path), and the name of the file that will be created. I put a maximum size of 300. Format: AMR Narrowband and the same for the codec.

    When I receive a call and answer (task triggering), an error message appears: "Failure to initialize the recorder")...

    However, the action works if I change the source and put "Microphone".

    How can i solve this problem ?

    Thank you in

    Run shell timeout not work

    Lazypawn4012 · 1 · Last reply by Lazypawn4012

    I saw the Old Discussions at forum, it has no meaning...

    https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/tasker/DeEHhw2emao

    Today I runned a shell script about "Getevent" -same as above discussions- with 5 sec of timeout. But it doesn't timeout.

    And it worked on my device earlier, but after several updates, some months, today, it doesn't.

    +

    I performed above as task, give a stop action to that task, it doesn't stop itself.

    ==============================

    So, the result is... you had an mistake with root permission.

    A shell script action with root permission can't be controlled by tasker, th owner app.

    It just can be excuted by, but

    UI bug - sliders - length change while editing

    Xavier Novella Sinde · 0 · Posted

    Please note that the sliders make small jumps when going from units to tens to hundreds, which makes modifying them by hand a bit difficult. Also, the total lenght of the slider is modified while sliding.

     

    Instead of porcentually assigning pixels to the number on the left and then filling the gap with the slider to the right, the text box should be big enough to fit number 999 and then the slider should fill rest of the gap with a fixed length.

     

    Now, when you go from 9 to 10 and from 99 to 100, the slider

    Profile having Event or State Context to check %CELLID variable set is not working in Exported App

    ganesh nikkam · 0 · Posted

    I have created a profile with Event Context to check the %CELLID variable is set (value is blank) and trigger a task when this variable is set.

    In Tasker -> Preferences -> Monitor, I have enabled "Cell Workaround" and "Use New Cell API" options.

    This profile will work and triggers the linked task without any issues when it is in Tasker, but if I export this project as an standalone app (with all required permissions) and install it, this profile will not trigger at all from the app.

    Please help to solve the issue.

    Few points to note :

    Issue with "Setup Quick Settings" on Android 10 when "Do Not Disturb" is enabled

    lucatrv · 1 · Last reply by lucatrv

    I use the Tasker "Toggle Quick Setting" to enable / disable vibrate mode. It was working without issues on Android 9. On Android 10 it works correctly only when "Do Not Disturb" is disabled. When it is enabled I get the following behavior: with a single tap I can enable "vibrate mode" with no issues (I set the "Toggle" status to "Active"), but when I tap it again most of the time it does not work. I need to tap it several times until the task is run ("vibrate mode" is disabled, and the "Toggle" status set to "Inactive"). Every

    Wifi and Bluetooth names end in a space

    Stavros · 0 · Posted

    For some reason, wifi and Bluetooth names on my phone (Xiaomi 9T) end with a space, making them not match, since I remove the space. It took me a while to realize what was happening, even though I was using the scanning feature. The scanner was adding the space but I was removing it, thinking the addition was accidental, and then was wondering why the network name never matched.

    I guess the extra space should be fixed, or maybe ignored? This happens for all networks, and I know they definitely don't all end in a space.

    "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.

    The zip action doesn't keep timestamps intact

    Abi · 0 · Posted

    So, right now, when you zip a folder with Tasker, all the files get their "last modified" date changed to when they were zipped. Could we get an option to keep the timestamps of the files intact instead?

    %LIGHT returns %LIGHT (the string)

    Lionel Bompart · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello !

    I wanted to create a task on an HP Touchpad running Android 4.4.4 (CM by jcsullins) to deactivate the daydream screensaver if the light is very low. The setting can be modified with secure settings plugin, that's great but I've got some issue trying to get the light sensor current value. When I try to display %LIGHT (in a flash for instance), it just displays %LIGHT. I tried several other variables, the flash shows their value properly. Is there something special to do to access %LIGHT ? I tried Automate just to check : It seems that the

     When using a number picker in a scene, the %old_val is not set correctly, if you roll the number picker and then roll again before it has stopped, the %old_val becomes unset and defaults to - 2147483648 (-2^31).

    %caller reports incorrect context when the same named task is called by two profiles at the same time

    Dan · 0 · Posted

    I've discovered that %caller reports the wrong context when two different contexts with the same priority call the same named task at the same time.

    You can reproduce this by creating a named task (I called mine Collision Test), with collision handling set to "Run Both Together" with the following action:

    1. Array Push: %Collision, Position: 1, Value: %caller()

    Then call the task "Collision Test" in both the entry and exit tasks of two different contexts that have the same priority:

    • Collision Test 1: State -> Variable Value: %Collision_Test ~ true
    • Collision Test 2: State -> Variable Value: %Collision_Test !~ true

    AutoWeb: Gmail API get message body data decoding needed

    anonymized · 0 · Posted

    Body data is somehow encoded and payload body data won't come through.

    Needing some way for Autoweb to decode body data.

     I found this, https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-ruby-client/issues/145 . Could I decode somehow with AutoTools?

     

    I don't know, if payload body data is needed, then it doesn't seem to go throuhg. Only body parts data comes through. I get something like this from here as below: https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/v1/reference/users/messages/get? 

     

    "body": { "size": 0 }, "parts": [ { "partId": "0", "mimeType": "text/plain", "filename": "", "headers": [ { "name": "Content-Type", "value": "text/plain; charset=UTF-8" }, { "name": "Content-Transfer-Encoding", "value": "7bit" } ], "body": { "size": 925,
