    Tasker in hung state...

    Ashish · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello,

    I am reporting a situation where takser looks to be in a hung state.

    First my setup and environment:

    - Kindle fire HD 8 7th Gen Tablet, with google play installed.

    - Latest tasker version.

    Though this issue is not profile related(because the profile works on the same device 99% of the times and other devices too, and been using it since 2 years) but relates to takser/tasker service in general. I have an app profile , which i use to control how much my kid spends time on her lovely apps(games and youtube).

    Since about some time ago,

    AutoInput accessibility caused droping frames during each swipe

    Jackal Zhao · 0 · Posted

    If I open AutoInput accessibility, the system would become unresponsive, more specifically, it drop frames when I swipe. (I'm nor sure if I used the proper words) 

     

    I did some research, found something on an article https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/55585722 

     

    The article mentioned that the existence of AccessibilityInputFilter blocked the InputDIspatcher thread being awake. So the input event was put into next Vsync, which means the InputDispatcher won't follow the pace of InputReader, but the pace of Vsync. 

     

    There is a super snappy app called FooView, and some people says the Advanced function in accessibility would cause dropping frames. So normally people only open the Basic function in

    XMLHttpRequest() and fetch() in Javascript(let) returns nothing sometimes

    Jason Lim · 3 · Last reply by Jason Lim

    I would first like to acknowledge that I might be getting something absolutely wrong here.

    The code below will have the following results in chrome (accounted for CORS):

    • results[0-8].fetch = "..." // contains something
    • results[0-8].xhttp = "..."

    but will have the following results in Tasker:

    • results[0-4].fetch = "" // undefined
    • results[0-4].xhttp = ""
    • results[5-8].fetch = "..."
    • results[5-8].xhttp = "..."

    Few things to note:

    • An observation will be that something is only returned if the URL doesn't end with "html" or a sever directory.
    • The results here are the same with a POST request too.
    • I currently have no workaround other

    Tasker UI language is switched to the OS language when entering Auto Series plug-in settings

    Hiroki OHZAKI · 1 · Last reply by Alessandro Perna

    When entering the setting screen of an Auto series plug-in (for example, AutoInput), the Tasker UI language is switched to the OS language different from the preference until exit the tasker setting screen.

    For example Event> Plugin> AutoInput> Gesture Action> Plugin> AutoInput> Action

    Proximity sensor detection not working on xz2 compact.

    Profile says proximity sensor is always active, even when its not.

    Is it the same issue/bug as on S10+? (there was another solved question with the same issue.)

    SQL Query selection parameters not working with more then 1 parameter

    Falco · 0 · Posted

    I found out the sql query selection paramters need a real array and not just a list of values. But there is still a problem with this funktion: you can't use more then 1 parameter.

    Here an example

    Array Set %sqlparameters Values:  1 2

    SQL Query

    query: SELECT (? + ?) FROM table LIMIT 1

    selection parameters: %sqlparameters

    result: null

    SQL Query

    query: SELECT (? + 2) FROM table LIMIT 1

    selection parameters: %sqlparameters

    result: 3

    Is this the evil of a conspiracy of corporations?

    Allow Music Play to start from times that aren't just integer seconds. Right now it only lets you start from discrete one-second intervals.

    thomas · 0 · Posted

    I'm working on a scene where I'm going to need to be able to play a sound file from specific starting points, and being able to start from a particular time in the audio file is great, but currently it only lets me start at 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, and so on.  And I'm unable to start it at 1.5 seconds for example.

    I really need that increased level of precision for the project I'm working on.  I don't see why it should be limited to one-second intervals.  Please let us specify down to the millisecond!

    HTTP Get is not allowing username contains @

    valecnik · 0 · Posted

    Currently HTTP get allows username and password specified as username: password@website.com, but username can not contains @, which is unfortunately limiting it.

    Ideal way would be to add new field for credentials.

    Heads up for Android Q

    https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/05/08/background-apps-can-no-longer-launch-activities-in-android-q-beta-3/

    FYI:

    Tasker may have to ask users to disable this feature in developer options by turning on "Allow background activity starts." This is still a beta, so it's unclear how the restriction will take shape for the final release.

    Preferences interactions behaviors make it too easy to mistakenly change a setting while scrolling

    thomas · 0 · Posted

    In Preferences, the items with drop down menus (for example "List Item Dragging" under UI, or "Accelerometer" under Monitor)

    If you touch one of them, it opens the drop-down menu and allows you to select one of the options without lifting your finger.

    This is good for quickly changing settings with a single drag, but it also introduces a problem for scrolling.

    Namely, it makes it too easy to mistakenly change a setting when all you were trying to do was scroll up or down.  All it takes is for the user to start scrolling by touching one of the

    Dragging and reordering tasks, scenes, profiles, and actions is buggy and also hard to tell where it will land

    thomas · 3 · Last reply by I have issues

    I made a short video to illustrate the problems.  Please view it!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z86c_crDCyk

    There are two problems with dragging and dropping items:

    1. Dragging and dropping an item between two other items SHOULD place it between them.  But it does not.  It doesn't work properly.  It often either doesn't register any change in position, or it puts the item in the wrong place altogether.  Here is another video demonstrating the problem; in this one, the dragging doesn't do ANYTHING for the first few attempts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKYqYJBBMy4

    2. There should really be some UI to indicate where a dragged item will land, similar

    Single MMS received causes multiple profile trigger events

    Harames · 2 · Last reply by Harames

    I use Tasker to play a sound for incoming texts (SMS/MMS), so that I can check for various conditions (first).  For example, if I am in a meeting I don’t let it play the sound.

    But, recently, there has been a change that I have been unable to resolve…

    Anytime I receive an MMS the sound gets played 2 or 3 times, whereas SMS still plays a single sound.  This has only been a problem since Android version 8 (Oreo).  Prior to that Tasker saw a single notification for each SMS or MMS.  Nevertheless, I don’t know if the change

    When creating a task that calls itself, pressing stop will become non functional after the first loop (pressing it will do nothing).

    Going to homescreen and back to the app will allow the task to be stopped

    Does not detect notification when app sends a notification

    I am new to tasker so please help me if i missed a step to get this work. 

    bassicaly im trying to get tasker to detect the notification from one of my app and to perform a task to play media. 

    My idea is once my door is open, my door sensor triggers and send a notification to my tablet. once tasker reads the notification about door sensor it must play a voice recorded. 

    i have successfully uploaded my media play in task tab but my profile is not detecting the notification from my smart app in order to play
