    AutoInput Beta - Stop Video Capture Has No Effect

    Robert L Ryan · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    There is an annoying bug in the current beta version of AutoInput. The Stop Video action does not have any effect.

    I first reported this on reddit, but neglected to post it here.

    Everything works correctly in the stable version.

    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

    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).

    An important note about the problem of exported apps doesn’t work without Tasker

    Wael Talaat · 1 · Last reply by Wael Talaat

    The important note: Some exported apps works successfully without Tasker if the screen of the phone is on (surely if it can work when screen is on in Tasker before exporting).

    Explanation1: Recently I have created a project. The aim of it is to open the flashlight without need to unlock the phone. Just by gestures. The project works successfully in Tasker. But after I'd exported it as an app and disabling Tasker. The app doesn't work.

    Explanation2: My flashlight project is designed to run when screen is off. But to check my note I've edited my project to run

    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,

    Queueing bugs with multiple Javascriptlets

    Tasks A and B both contain JSlets, but when I run the master task only the JSlet in A executes, i.e. neither the flash B nor the vibrate occur.

    Tasker popup notification requesting missing permission: Root Access

    Gicci · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Since a few days I get popup notifications stating that a required permission is missing, listing the "Root Access" as the needed one.

    Of course that's not an Android permission which can be granted, so the message is already confusing, and no action is performed when clicking the notification.

    It would be good at least to display which is the action that is triggering that request, so that the user could check and modify it.

    I am using a Samsung S10 with Android 9.

    %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

    Android Pie and Display Brightness

    SmartPhoneLover · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi Joao,

    I would like to report an issue regarding the Display Brightness action, from latest Tasker v5.8.2.

    Some users, me included, are reporting an abnormal function of that action when changing the device brightness. Known issues:

    - First time action is opened (added to the task), a huge number is shown: 1000+ (value). So, very out of range from 0-255.

    - When running the action with 255 value set, the device brightness doesn't get changed properly.

    So, I'm not sure why is this happening. Maybe because the API changed, so old code is not working as expected in Tasker.
