    Google Calendar Entry - State in Profile

    Chris · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    I created a profile that detects if a calendar event is active using the State>App>Calendar Entry function.  It has worked for a number of years.  This past week it stopped working.  It is not detecting when the event is active.  I tried adding a new calendar to the Google Calendar and accessing it through Tasker and it does not display.  I have also tried toggling the calendar permissions in Tasker and that has not helped.  It seems Tasker is not accessing the Google Calendar at all.

    Parse/Format DateTime linked to wrong documentation

    Anthony · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Parse/Format DateTime help is linked to https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html for documentation on the formatting codes to use. However, using e.g., u gets an IllegalArgumentException. From the exception it appears Tasker is using Joda, so the doc link should be https://www.joda.org/joda-time/apidocs/org/joda/time/format/DateTimeFormat.html instead.

    Clipboard monitoring makes keyboard to glitch

    User · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi. As always, huge thanks for continuing developing Tasker. Want to report bug. Latest 5.15.3-beta, Android 11 (LineageOS 18.1).

    Steps to reproduce: 0. Important: bug "activates" only after some time after Tasker was launched, like few hours 1. Create single task with any single action which use %CLIP variable, e.g. make Tasker to monitor it (via workaround, yeah) 2. While typing anywhere mark text and press Copy / Cut, e.g. change clipboard 2.1 Even enough modify clipboard via shell: service call clipboard 2 s16 "text" 3. For a second *any* keyboard hides and appears again (shown on attached video) 4.

    Get Location v2 suspends all other tasks

    JasMan · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hey,

    I noticed an issue with the "Get Location v2" action. It seems that the action suspends all other actions/tasks when the location update is running.

    When I stop my car and the bluetooth connection to my mobile phone gets inactive, the variable %BluetoothConnection is set to "None", which triggers two pofiles to do an location update (Location Update@Out of Car) and check the audio profile settings (Check Audio Profile@Bluetooth).

    According to the Tasker log (see below) both profiles are triggered and also both tasks (Force Location Update & Set Audio Profile) are started. But when the Get Location action

    On Asus Zenfone 8, bluetooth state is not correct

    Mathieu Blanvillain · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi Joao, 

    I've sent you an email through the app. I open a problem as well for the follow up.

    I create the same profile over and over again on different devices (Pixel 5, Pixel 4a, Xperia XA2 etc ...) and they are working fine.

    But with my asus zenfone 8 I cannot make tasker to read, correctly, the bluetooth state.

    What does it mean ? 

    I have a profile and task saying that if the phone is connected to my band (Mi Band 5), then volume of everything should be set to maximum.

    Setting/changing notification volume (or any volume setting) ends DND mode if turned on by Tasker?

    Wayne K · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Is it expected behavior that implicitly changing the volume level via Tasker would turn off DND mode if turned on by tasker? Doesn't seem to do this if DND is turned on via Android UI. See attachment for VERY simple reproduction case.

    I have a Nexus 6p and all I want to do is completely disable the proximity sensor since the phone goes black when I make a call

    Please tell me exactly (I'm dumb) how to completely disable the proximity sensor, since when I make a call the screen goes black.

    Otherwise, since I just bought Tasker, if I can't do this, I want to return it for a refund.

    It's the only reason I bought it.

    Thanks!

    Out of nowhere "Power: Any" state change stopped being detected.

    Zero clues. Zero messages.

    Is there a way to discover the reason ? A Log ?

    That Run Log from tasker itself doesn't register anything

    I even created the simplest possible task (to beep) when power:any triggers. No deal.

    Missing Permissions notification popping up frequently

    Ryttch · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi! Whenever a task is saved or when closing Tasker, this message shows Tasker needs the following permissions(s) for the functionality you have configured: Access fine location *Variable %WIFII The problem is, I'm aware the variable works with location only, but I denied this permission in purpose, because it is not needed for what I'm trying to accomplish. Only THAT variable is necessary for my task. Now, is there a way to prevent this notifications to pop up again and again? Because it is driving me crazy to click on cancel every time I try to configure some tasks. If
