    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

    Tasker: 5.8.0.beta.5 Android: 9 OS language: Japanese Tasker UI language preference: English

    Proximity sensor not working - profile state always "active"

    Michi · 6 · Last reply by Mike Frame

    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

    How to solve a problem ?

     Once upon a time it worked, now on older versions it does not work, lifting the tube does not occur. New versions show a message that i need android 8 I don't have android 8

    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.

    Thanks petr

    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

    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).

    Does not detect notification when app sends a notification

    Sruthi Yeruva · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    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

    Not able to remove Quick Settings Shortcut

    TM0NEY46 · 0 · Posted

    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
