    export task with java code

    Good afternoon,

    I have a task that uses java code to get the call log, I then filter to get rejected calls or just last 5 calls or whatever, everything works fine in tasker, but when I export the task to an app it does not work, I inserted a vibration at the begining and at the end, so I know that the task is starting, but after the first vibration it does nothing more, no java code and no last vibration.

    So, is java code accepted in exported tasks? ... if yes, then what do I have to do

    tasker on the pixel 5 will NOT run any profiles

    Ever since I upgraded to the Pixel 5 I can't get Tasker to do anything at all. I used to have a profile that would run when connected to my car's BT. That no longer works. I tried changing the profile to trigger when I started my podcasts app (Pocket Casts) and that didn't work either.

    In addition, I keep getting the message to install ADB on my phone. Well, I've tried that several times using the instructions provided but, apparently, it hasn't worked.

    Help! Please.

    Tasker has no access to files created by AutoNotification

    Xavier Althoff · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello!

    I've found this problem a handful of times on reddit etc., but I can't seem to find any fix (except maybe rooting my device, which I would like to avoid at this point).

    I used to get a .png from a notification using AutoNotification and I could send that image via a POST Request in Tasker to a nodejs server. However, when using the path 0/Android/data/com.joaomgcd.autonotification/etc... in the request, I get a permission denied error.

    I am aware it has something to do with the way Android 11 handles scoped storage, however, wouldn't it be possible for AutoNotification to

    Couldn't toggle airplane mode with ADB Wifi (Android 6.0, no root)

    Artem · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hey!

    I want to enable Airplane Mode on my phone using Tasker action.

    There is a simple action named AirplaneON:

    Airplane Mode [Set: On]

    I have already configured Tasker and ADB according to the guides:

    • ADB Setup
    • ADB Wifi Permission
    • Write Secure Settings Permission

    ADB Wifi actions are working after that, like test. 

    But when I try to launch my  EnableAirplaneMode action, i have the following error:

    Is it possible to fix this problem without root?

    Get Location v2 doesn't return %gl_time_seconds in Android6

    WANG · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I used the "Get Location v2" function to get time from the return value %gl_time_seconds.

    It works very well in Android 10, but the same task doesn't work in Android 6, %gl_time_seconds keeps unset while %gl_latitude %gl_longitude can work correctly.

    AutoNotification not working on Samsung A51 with the new One UI 3.0

    StaffanT · 3 · Last reply by StaffanT

    Hi Joao, as I reported here (https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/m54otc/autonotification_toast_intercept_has_stopped/) I can no longer intercept toast and notifications since I installed the latest update by Samsung on my Android 11 device. I don't know which version of AN I was using after (re?)installing 4.3.0beta but now nothing works, no log entries, nothing, nothing. The only thing is that I get an AN notification saying "Intercepting Toasts" but that's it. What is interesting though is that after installing v4.1.4 (after I dropped out of beta testing), the AN log now contains some entries like this:

    • New intercepted Notification:
    • Title: Checking Tasker Condition 
    • Text: Running...;

    Notification Blocking backup cannot be restored

    StaffanT · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    I just found that a backup created of the list of blocked notifications in AutoNotification cannot be restored. The backup works fine and creates a BlockFilterForDB database (SQLite), which contains all the definitions and looks correct. But restoring only lets me choose the backup file and when accepted nothing more happens. I'm running Android 11 One UI 3.0 with Tasker 5.11.14 and AN v4.2.0 beta.

    Thanks for looking in to this.

    Installed tasker for the first time, crashed on startup. Uninstalled. Now gmail crashes on startup

    Jim Spath · 2 · Last reply by Jim Spath

    I purchased and downloaded Tasker today onto my Verizon Galaxy S8.

    After it installed, I tried running it, and it crashed.  I tried starting it a few more times, and it crashed every time.  So I uninstalled the app and got a refund.

    Now my Gmail keeps crashing.  I'm guessing Tasker installed some sort of hook to be able to use Gmail, but it wasn't (un)installed properly, so now Gmail itself is broken.

    Is there any way to cleanup whatever it is Tasker has done to Gmail?

    Oh, and I also get notifications that Email has crashed, which I don't

    API POST to Home Assistant returns "Invalid JSON specified"

    Stig Byriel · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi,

    I am trying to save a state to Home Assistant using the API. The POST request is working fine in postman, but not i Tasker.

    When i add the header "Authorization: Bearer <token>" (replacing "<token>" with the correct token. 183 characters consisting of letters and a period. So no special characters if that is relevant). The response is "Invalid JSON specified".

    If i change "Authorization" to something else it says "Unauthorized" instead.

    What am i doing wrong?
