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.

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

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

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

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

My device is galaxy A50 android 9.I 've created a project to answer an incoming call autimatically.the project runs successfully.after exporting the project as an app and after installing the app and enable accessiblity setting for the app and enable change system setting from setting after that the app didn't answer the call automatically although the device did that before exporting the project .I hope to fix the problem in a next update of Tasker.

I tried disabling "Show Notification Icon," and I've toggled the notification permission for Tasker and restarted my phone multiple times and in different orders.  The notification always returns with the icon in the status bar.  The option in the menu seems to do nothing. :(

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

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

Currently, there is no real way to remove Quick Settings as icons in the quick menu drop-down.  You can temporarily make them not accessible by dragging down the icons, but similarly as the Quick settings menu is always accessible they can be accessed quite quickly by dragging them back to the top. Additionally, I discovered that by holding on any quick setting Tasker icon, Tasker will actually open up. From there Tasker can be disabled quickly which removes the whole reason for the having a specific scene I built for work mode.

I suggest a toggle be added within Tasker

Tasker 5.7.0 beta 10. Crash apk build with Appfactory. Redmi Note 3 SE. Android 9.0

Run Shell Max timeout value is 2147483, Any value higher than this passed as a variable crashes tasker.

Kill App Action With Root On causes this. I think when app is not open.

Description

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...

Not sure if there's anything that can be done, but update to Chrome 72 for Android causes webview to render a blank screen when the source is HTML, works inside Tasker but not as exported app.

Hello,

Is Tasker supported for French accented characters? When a pushed notification (from Text Ingredient from IFTTT) reaches Tasker, those accented characters are not recognized by Tasker. What's wrong ?

When running Tasker on Android 8.1 I noticed that there's a small bug that doesn't always display the UI in the language selected in the Preferences.

I set up English as Tasker language and my Android is in Italian. The change in the UI happens sometimes when resuming the activity and I'm able to reproduce it, see my attached video record.

Open Tasker in Oreo, push the multitasking, rotate the screen back and forth, return to Tasker and you'll get some parts of the UI in the OS language.

It happens on other apps, too; I think it is related

I use a local work profile provided by Shelter for apps I need sandboxed for whatever reason. Unfortunately those apps don't show up in the list of apps for enter/leave profiles and things like AutoNotification just list resultant effects with a blank associated app (still works fine via title/text match though).

The list of available activities in "launch app" is not complete. E.g. 3C Toolbox Pro has a reboot menu which is displayed for selection in the activities list of Nova Launcher, but it is missing in the list of Tasker.

Hi,

the shutdown and reboot commands of Tasker don't give alert to other apps what causes some problems. The Tasker help says that this is also an issue of all other apps. But the same commands of 3C Toolbox Pro and of Custom Quick Settings let other apps react correct.

Can you, please, add this to these Tasker commands, too?

Hi. I'm fairly new to tasker, so I'm sorry if this has a very obvious solution. I have this task running (picture attached). It is activated when my car Bluetooth is disconnected from the phone. When it runs, there is a 5-10 second delay between #5 and #6. Is this any way to make this more fluid and have everything back to back? This is the only task that I've had this issue with. Everything else works flawlessly. Thanks!
