I can't find out how to create a task which allows me to take a screenshot by holding down the power button.

The video on how to create a task does not display on my phone.

Surely someone could produce a simple step by step outline on how to do this

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 running Android 10.  I've created a simple task to disconnect my Bluetooth headset.  However, when I Play the task nothing happens.  That is, the headset remains connected.  I've tried usight the MAC address as well as the Name of the headset.  Neither Action works.  Please advise.

I am launching a App when the %DATE Global Variable is changed. If I switch off my phone during the night and switch it on in the morning. %DATE Variable is not updated. Only if I edit the Task and save it again, It changes. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Appriciate your help

Despite having a passcode on tasker, a user is able to use bypass the passcode using the search function to manipulate some of the tasks.

I'm having a problem creating the apps in Tasker because when I restart android the nova launcher doesn't load the icon that was in the application exported in Tasker

The help text for "restore settings" in the profile settings still references the old "cog icon" which has been replaced by double arrows

'Multiple variables set' action Does not assign a value from '%err' immediately after shell action. Screenshot attached

In latest build of Tasker or Tasker factory sometimes i have problem with compiling apk which have third party / downloaded images in it. I used to use images as my app's background.. by the way i always use jpg format

To enable permission for toggle Airplane Mode only requires an ADB appops command be run only once. I have verified this using appops, that after device reboot, Tasker retains permission to toggle Airplane Mode without re-enabling ADB wifi.

Yet trying to toggle Airplane Mode in Tasker will fail due to ADB Wifi not being on. Tasker does not attempt to toggle Airplane Mode, even though it already has permission.

If Tasker can retain permissions, then enabling ADB Wifi after reboot appears unnecessary.

Thank you

I installed and used TASKER first yesterday. Therefore  i created a profile (if telephone rings) that a task call redirection (german: Rufumleitung) will start.

That worked perfectly. But then after testing i wanted to manually disable therefore i  moved the toggle to grey on profile (if telephone rings) but recognized that android holds the message that all calls will be redirected.

I testet it and it is true, also with deactivation the option still stays and all calls are redirected. I never made other setting on android therefore therefore i must come from tasker...

Now is this a bug or

Tasker is not firing a Bluetooth Connected event (Profile) if I put a string in the Name variable in the event.

This is a Profile that I've used for years, and it recently stopped working - after Tasker and my Phone both updated, so I'm not sure which one may have caused the bug.

The profile triggers an action to set a sound/volume profile in another app, whenever my truck's bluetooth connects to my phone.  But for testing, I created an even simpler profile and gave it one action: to produce a popup message "BT Connected".

I tested this profile

Phone ringing event only triggers on Blank, Any, or My Contact*. (The * is required).  Caller Name In (%CNAME) only returns GMail, never a name.)

The Phone Ringing event does trigger on phone numbers 555123456*  (Yup the * is required) and %CNAME will be GMail.

Phone Ringing Event triggering on Contacts Labels would be great!

Used to work.  Do I need to set some new permissions?

Thanks for such an amazing tool!

I just used a 9 button scene and KEYBOARD action to create a DPAD and give myself the &^%$#@!!! arrow keys (and, eventually, the Delete key) missing from most keyboards.

  Good news:  It works!

Bad news:

  The keyboard disappears, then reappears after a beat.

It's kind of jarring to use, as-is.

Setting the "don't restore keyboard" flag is an ok workaround, but if it's possible to choose not to hide the keyboard that would be useful.

I don't see any way to create a rule that would trigger every, for example, 5 days.

I want to automatically reboot my phone every x days.

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

I have a messy csv file that i make multiple splits to be able to extract the datapart i need. When i finaly have the data i want i make a new variable (%csvA) with "variable set" and have the "structure output" checked.

When i then try to list all data from index 2 with %csvA[2]() i get nothing. If i list index 1 i get all the data from the variable.

To be able to only get the index 2 data i can use %csvA[2]() but only if i first go to the "Vars" tab, click the variable %csvA and

Hi there,

I'm facing an issue where I'm not sure if it's an issue of my phone (Pixel 3 with latest updates) or Tasker.

I created an task which switchs the background picture when my calendar shows that I'm having on-call for my company (State -> Calendar Entry). The on-call appointment is a bi-weekly recurring all-day appointment for 7 days. When the on-call starts, the background switchs as expected.

But during the week sometimes the profile becomes inactive for some hours. I added a log task with timestamps to the task to see when this exactly happens. But there's no

The Pick input dialog action is not working correctly. It does not return the variable %input. It simply do nothing.

I'm trying to remap the power double-tap action on my Samsung Galaxy S10 using Tasker.

I've seen the video on doing this with the Bixby key but am not having luck reproducing it with the power key.

- I've turned off the "Quick launch" toggle in the stock S10 camera - Got the popup asking if I wanted to set tasker as the power double-tap action (and restarted the phone as requested) - I've tried the adding the custom setting to make sure this persists at startup as per here

All to no avail.

- If I select the Tasker
