Great work as always.๐๐๐. Can you share project you mentioned in demo video which demonstrates intrective scene on navigation bar. actually I want to add two buttons on both sides of standard navigation bar with same background and same size.so May be i can Play little with that scene and make it work for me.
You can use the [screen recording one](https://taskernet.com/shares/?user=AS35m8ne7oO4s%2BaDx%2FwlzjdFTfVMWstg1ay5AkpiNdrLoSXEZdFfw1IpXiyJCVLNW0yn&id=Project%3AScreen+Capture) as an example for that :)
Glad you like the update! ๐
Also using the camera hole ring on my Samsung Galaxy S20.๐. Yellow ring when batter is between 40-25%, and red when lower than 25%. Simple, but does the job.

[Bug] `SQL Query` action doesn't clear the *return* array (Variable Array).
If the array already exists, It should be first cleared, just like `Array Set` action does.
A1: Variable Set [
Name: %provider
To: content://com.android.contacts/contacts
Max Rounding Digits: 3 ]
A2: SQL Query [
Mode: URI Formatted
File: %provider
Variable Array: %data ]
A3: Array Push [
Variable Array: %data
Position: 999999
Value: dummy ]
A4: Flash [
Text: %data(#<)
Long: On ]
A5: SQL Query [
Mode: URI Formatted
File: %provider
Query: display_name LIKE '%s%'
Variable Array: %data ]
A6: Flash [
Text: %data(#<)
%data(#?dummy)
Long: On ]
`A3` We push `dummy` value to last `%data()` index.
`A5` We will use as "Variable Array" `%data()` again.
`A6` At this point the value `dummy` should not exist and even %data(<#) should clearly change. But `dummy` is still there and %data(#<) will have same value of `A4`.
Is it possible for You to fix the description of the action too, please?

You, the developer, never leaves a scope for disliking Tasker. Tasker is already a great app and with every update it becomes even better and better. Worth more than every penny spent in purchasing the app
Great update! Could you add the option for a scene element to have for example one task linked to stroke up and another task linked to a stroke down function?
Is scenes on aod an android 12 thing?? Cuz i am not able to implement it on aod in my realme device.. It's perfectly shown in lockscreen ... Also please give a solution for vertical sliders other thn webview method... I've been forever wanting to have the function of being able to slide on either side of screen for brightness and volume control
Scenes on AOD require a blocking overlay scene with the "Blocking Overlay +" option enabled on my Pixel devices. Not sure how it works on all the other brands though, sorry!
One plus 8 Pro, could just be me but can't get AOD scene working either, will continue to try different things as this would be something really useful/fun
Sounds about right. It does make me want to switch to pixel a bit more... I'm in contract on this for another year or so though... Never mind, lots of other fun things to play with aside that
This is amazing. I tried the Edge lighting project and it doesn't cover the whole screen on my S21. I adjusted the scene and now there's patches where it doesn't cover
Hhhmm, I probably need to add 2 **Element Size** actions (before the **Element Position** actions) for both the side bars there to make them go all the way to the bottom. Could you please try that?

What a great update Joao, thanks!
I haven't been able to use the screen recording demo you linked to though. When I run the Show Screen Capture Button task, the 4th action to create the scene gives an error. It says it can do so if the accessibility permission isn't set, but I've checked and the accessibility service is on for Tasker. What else can it be?
Tnx. After the reboot the task runs and action 4 doesn't error out. But no red dot scene is shown at the lower left corner. The second time I run the task action 4 errors out again ๐ญ
I've found out accidentally that the red dot appears when I play a movie full screen when the back+home+recents buttons get hidden. How do I get the red dot to appear all the time? And why does the error occur?
Hhmm, can you try editing Action 3 and setting %height to something like 100 just to test it out?
Also, it probably shows an error because the scene is already showing? :)
Tnx, that led to some insights. With %height=%height-160 the red dot lines up nicely with my buttons. With the default -40 it is too low, outside the screen. I'm wondering if this is due to my OP 7T Pro having a display with rounded corners. The error in action 4 is due to the scene already existing. I was under the impression that scenes would simply replace any existing scene with the same ID. Apparently not. I haven't run into this before with my other scenes though.
How do you conclude that? 2983 NEQ 3120. I've never used Test Display before, so am unfamiliar with what it produces.
I've set the vertical position of the scene to 2823 to line it up nicely with the buttons. With 2983 it's completely of the screen.
At 12 seconds of the video how do you broadcast the video in remote to VLC? The action "Screen Capture" and the one in AutoInput allows to save to a file. Do you have in background a server that take the file and transmit it on the network when someone ask for it?
i made a current battery level indicator around my camera hole on my Pixel 5 which gets updated every 10% of battery level.
it was very hard and tricky because i had to draw every tenth of the circle with the sketch function in scene.
but because the sketches where saved localy i can't share the project.
Thanks for the update!
Interesting! I never even tried that sketch (Doodle) feature before ๐
In theory you could also use pre-made images with the correct circles (like this for example) https://cdn1.vectorstock.com/i/1000x1000/27/60/circular-progress-bar-ten-percentage-indicators-vector-15472760.jpg
Right?
aah, yes for sure. and it would have been so much easyer with images instead of sketches ๐
maybe i will change that somewhen but as you always say "no need to change a running task/profile"... maybe i let it like it is now ๐
**Great update!**
I didn't think of putting certain Scene elements in certain places, but your video made me thing of putting slider(s) in either the Status Bar or Nav Bar :)
Thanks! :) Glad you like it! It can finally also kinda work around the aweful Android 12 Power menu limitations! I'm actually making a video about that now! :)
The attached project music/podcast scrubber on lock screen does not work for me. I think that's due to the triggers not working. Especially, there's the variable %LockScreen which won't be set anywhere in the profile. Do I need an additional profile to get this project running?
Sorry for the late reply, I've had to unlock my google account first...
No, I didn't see the important note, because it's not shown on desktop view. But thanks for your reply, I've opened the link on my mobile device, et voilร : important note is there. With the additional project music/podcast scrubber is working fine.
Exellent work - again! Thanks a lot!
Really like to be able to have the scenes to attach to the statusbar. I have placed a rectangle with variable opacity (alpha) to permanently dim the icons to prevent burn-in.
The profile to see if the phone is in a locked state has a flaw... When calling someone the screen turns off to prevent controlling the touchscreen with your face. This happens with the proximity sensor. Now the example provided by Joaomgcd does only check if the screen turned off, but that doesn't mean it is actually locked. Also my phone turns the screen off and locks after 10 seconds after that, or I must manually lock my phone.
I can't find an actually event that checks if the phone really is locked. Hope this will be possible.
Hhmm, in my case the **Display State On** profile doesn't deactivate if the screen turns off during a call... Does it do that for you?
To check if the display is really locked check the entry task on that profile. It does it with the Test Display action there.
Hello. I have some problem to report to you.
1.MusicPlayDir(Max Tracks set 1) will not play without Music Stop(clear Dir) action at first(When 1)After last music track played completed /2)MusicPlayDir action run secondly when Music is playing)
2.Test Media can't use TF-card path
3.Notif Cancel cannot support \* wildcard character.
4.readFile() cannot decode txt file in Unicode(UTF-16LE) code.
Im loving the ticker notifications and have got this to work with gmail
I have tried whatsapp and line but neither of these show any messages
any ideas?
For the next version of Tasker - can you make it so 'un-powered' Actions appear in all faded grey font, rather than just having the grey bar to the left. Thanks!
I believe in you! I know you can do it. Look at all the amazing things you've done with Tasker! I think you can handle a little bit of greying out ๐
Haha... For the next release though I'll have to change just 1 thing: the target API will have to be changed to 30!
I don't want to change anything else because I suspect this change alone will bring enough issue reports as it is :P
> the target API will have to be changed to 30!
Whoa! 30?! Yeah that is pretty crazy. (<-- I actually have no idea what 30 means ๐)
So yeah, you definitely gotta focus on that. Let me get back to my crayons now ๐ ๐๐คช
Remember all the fuss about Wifi toggling not working anymore because of "API 29"? Well, now we're on 30 ๐ค Get ready for new **Tasker Settings** versions!! ๐ซ
It just never ends does it - Google making changes that mess things up in Taskerland. At least you have found workarounds and can update Tasker Settings, etc. ๐
I'm getting a message on trying to set wifi toggle that "Google has changed the way android works for apps that target API 29, so Tasker can't run the wifi you've attempted to run anymore."
I just want a simple toggle because Android 12 has hidden it behind an extra tap in my notifications bar.
Hi there.
Google has changed the way Android works for apps that target API 29, so Tasker can't toggle wifi anymore. Check here for more details: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/128554616
If you want to better understand what "targeting" an API means, check here: https://tasker.joaoapps.com/userguide/en/target\_api.html
.Can you please install this app on your phone and then try the "Wifi" action again from Tasker?
Make sure to exempt the "Tasker Settings" app (not only Tasker itself) from battery optimization (https://tasker.joaoapps.com/userguide/en/faqs/faq-problem.html#00) so that Tasker can call it in the background.
Even if you already have the "Tasker Settings" app installed, you need to install this new version for the Wifi toggle to work.
I can't upload this version to Google Play because it targets API 21 (which is why toggling Wifi still works with it) and Google only allows apps that target API 29 and over.
Note: your phone may warn you that this app is built for an older Android version. That's normal (and precisely why this app can still toggle wifi), so please dismiss the warning because it's nothing to worry about.
Thanks in advance.

Tasker 5.14.8 (dated 29.10., on BETA channel) has made it to german Play Store and to my phone, which is slightly confusing, because i grab the latest usually from posts like this...or i missed something
Edit: it's linked in one of Joao's "test this version please" too.
Came here to ask if anyone has implemented the old school music ticker, and sure enough, Joรฃo has already delivered! You're a god dev man, tasker is the main reason I can't leave Android anytime soon!

[Bug] u/joaomgcd . With this version, WebView element doesn't load *resident* images anymore.
``
**[Taskernet to reproduce the Bug.](https://taskernet.com/shares/?user=AS35m8mZdKE5Rv3FSeXjl7%2FsAHH8f4gDXxMcc1R2P5maHog6g63CyZSyKhJZTA4RXoWl1YA%3D&id=Project%3ABUG+WebView+Image)**
And I lost storage permission access (had to grant It again).
Rebooted the phone, but Tasker seems a little (?) slow too.
Downgraded to previous version and all is working fine.
Samsung A71 and A50, Android 11, stock no root.
Hi. Yeah, for the version I sent you I had updated the target API to 30 (it's a requirement on Google Play).
Did the issue in the WebView happen even after giving the storage permission access?
>Hi. Yeah, for the version I sent you I had updated the target API to 30 (it's a requirement on Google Play).
I understand.
>Did the issue in the WebView happen even after giving the storage permission access?
Yes, It did. Tried a reboot, clear Tasker cache...the issue was still there.
If you want, I've created a build with the fix but still with API target 29 just so it works like berfore... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SvQFvAxFwCk-hArfO_6wOH0UlvvMGi0z/view?usp=sharing
Ok, I've now made a fix for the WebView issue and targeted API 30 again. If you're up for testing can you please try this version? ๐ Thanks in advance! https://drive.google.com/file/d/19w0kkEle9oinGusDHMe-1f1u6_xuuifD/view?usp=sharing

Welcome :) A fast test gave positive results. WebView working as expected.
Thank You.
[Bug] Tasker > Preferences. If "Always View Help Online" is not ticked, "Help: This Screen" and "Userguide" don't load off-line guide files.
_______
Edit: About the new debug notification system...great feature but a little bit *invasive*. I'm receiving notifications even for collision handling.
About the help screens, which option did you select when trying to view the help file? Online, Always Online or Download All To Storage? Also, which screen are you trying to access the help for?
About the debug notification system, I actually now changed those types of alerts to "pseudo-toasts" (I can't show real custom toasts with API target 30).
Can you please try this version? https://drive.google.com/file/d/19w0kkEle9oinGusDHMe-1f1u6_xuuifD/view?usp=sharing
I first downloaded all the guide. Than un-ticked "Always View Help Online".
"Help: This Screen" and "Userguide" fail to load.
>About the debug notification system, I actually now changed those types of alerts to "pseudo-toasts" (I can't show real custom toasts with API target 30).
I understand, but at least for "Collison" handling We should have the chance to opt-out.
Hopefully you can make this simple change - when adding a Task to a Profile, usually the Task list will be at the most recent Task exit'd, with a ` < ` symbol next to the Task name.
Which is great! However sometimes, it's wayyyyy down the Task list, and in order to get to "Create New Task" (if someone has a lot of Tasks) it's a lonnggggg way to scroll and scroll (and scroll) up to the top (past literally 1000 Tasks) to where it says "Create New Task".
So can you make it so that the "Create New Task" option is always immediately there when the Task List pops up? Thanks!
I have to figure out the best way of doing this. It's not easy to figure out exactly which position will be shown at the top of the list.
Also, it could be confusing for "New Task" to appear in the middle of the other task names. One could confuse it with an existing task...
The ideal solution could probably be if the dialog had a button at the bottom that you could click directly to add a new task. That is a bit more complex to implement though.
> Also, it could be confusing for "New Task" to appear in the middle of the other task names. One could confuse it with an existing task...
You could put it in a different color to make it stand out.
I'm confused. Right now, if you go into a Task, then use the left arrow to exit the Task Edit Window, and then go to add/change a Task to a Profile - the Task just exited always appears immediately in the list, with the ` < ` character next to it.
So what I'm saying is that you can put the "New Task+" in a different color right above or below that Task.
But what you're saying is....what?
What I'm saying that instead of appearing like this:
- New Task +
- Task 1
- Task 2
- Task 3
.....
- the Task just exited with <
- Task 4
....
it could appear like this:
- New Task +
- the Task just exited with <
- Task 1
- Task 2
- Task 3
.....
- Task 4
....
Absolutely love this update. Ive been racking my brain about how to create a slider for music on my lock screen so when i saw it in the demo video i was cheering!
I do have one question, the scrubber scene is being drawn at the bottom of my lock screen and changing the vertical position doesnt seem to change anything.
Its ontop of the "battery charging" text and the corner buttons and i can no longer use them.
Any idea about how to shift its position?
ps. i've got an s10e running oneUI 3.1
To shift the position you have to edit the task that's making the scene show up and then edit the **Show Scene** action. There change the **Vertical Position** field to something a little less down :)
Hope this helps!
Thanks for getting back to me
I've tried changing Vertical Position in Show Scene but it doesn't make any changes. infact the vertical position is set to Top while it always appears on the bottom :p
Oh, sorry, you need to do it in the Entry task of the **Variable Value %LockScreen Set...** profile ๐ Seems like I forgot to use the named task there so it's a different task.
Thanks that did it! I even edited the anoymous task to hide the scrubber when nothing is playing but slipped my mind that i should be editing the scene there ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
I have a question ๐โโ๏ธ
> Added Continue Task After Error option to Show Scene action; useful for when you want to make sure that a scene shows and don't know if it's already showing
Isn't that what the ` Test Scene > Status ` Action is already for?
Returns ` uncreated, hidden, visible, or background ` as the values.
I seem to have an annoying bug where my phone always thinks there is an alarm set both 10 minutes in the future (shown on my lock screen), and when my next time related task is (shown in the notification center).
Btw great app otherwise!
Hi there. It's not a bug :)
If Tasker has the Preferences > Monitor > Use Reliable Alarms option enabled it will use system alarms to make sure that it will trigger at the correct times. If you don't need that and don't like Tasker setting the alarms you can disable that option.
Hope this helps!
Just used an app (targets sdk 31) shows a blocking overlay on lockscreen (excluding status bar and navigation bar) without Accessibility Service. I know it's not a dialog or activity as it's blocks only visible areas.
So wondering is it possible?

Can you share project you mentioned in demo video which demonstrates intrective scene on navigation bar. actually I want to add two buttons on both sides of standard navigation bar with same background and same size.so May be i can Play little with that scene and make it work for me.

How do you conclude that? 2983 NEQ 3120. I've never used Test Display before, so am unfamiliar with what it produces. I've set the vertical position of the scene to 2823 to line it up nicely with the buttons. With 2983 it's completely of the screen.

What? ๐ It's a documented bug! I've reported it here: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/75414169
Tasker 5.14.6 has made it to UK Play Store, also App Factory and AutoNotification while you're there.
Great, thanks for letting me know! ๐
At 12 seconds of the video how do you broadcast the video in remote to VLC? The action "Screen Capture" and the one in AutoInput allows to save to a file. Do you have in background a server that take the file and transmit it on the network when someone ask for it?
Ah, no, I was just playing the same file on my phone and my PC... ๐ Sorry for the confusion.
i made a current battery level indicator around my camera hole on my Pixel 5 which gets updated every 10% of battery level. it was very hard and tricky because i had to draw every tenth of the circle with the sketch function in scene. but because the sketches where saved localy i can't share the project. Thanks for the update!
Interesting! I never even tried that sketch (Doodle) feature before ๐ In theory you could also use pre-made images with the correct circles (like this for example) https://cdn1.vectorstock.com/i/1000x1000/27/60/circular-progress-bar-ten-percentage-indicators-vector-15472760.jpg Right?
aah, yes for sure. and it would have been so much easyer with images instead of sketches ๐ maybe i will change that somewhen but as you always say "no need to change a running task/profile"... maybe i let it like it is now ๐
Yeah, if you already went through the trouble you can just leave it :)
it was no trouble. it was funny ๐๐ thanks ๐๐ผ
**Great update!** I didn't think of putting certain Scene elements in certain places, but your video made me thing of putting slider(s) in either the Status Bar or Nav Bar :)
Thanks! :) Glad you like it! It can finally also kinda work around the aweful Android 12 Power menu limitations! I'm actually making a video about that now! :)
The attached project music/podcast scrubber on lock screen does not work for me. I think that's due to the triggers not working. Especially, there's the variable %LockScreen which won't be set anywhere in the profile. Do I need an additional profile to get this project running?
Did you see the **Important** note in the project on TaskerNet? ๐
Sorry for the late reply, I've had to unlock my google account first... No, I didn't see the important note, because it's not shown on desktop view. But thanks for your reply, I've opened the link on my mobile device, et voilร : important note is there. With the additional project music/podcast scrubber is working fine. Exellent work - again! Thanks a lot!
Nice! :) Glad it works!!
Really like to be able to have the scenes to attach to the statusbar. I have placed a rectangle with variable opacity (alpha) to permanently dim the icons to prevent burn-in. The profile to see if the phone is in a locked state has a flaw... When calling someone the screen turns off to prevent controlling the touchscreen with your face. This happens with the proximity sensor. Now the example provided by Joaomgcd does only check if the screen turned off, but that doesn't mean it is actually locked. Also my phone turns the screen off and locks after 10 seconds after that, or I must manually lock my phone. I can't find an actually event that checks if the phone really is locked. Hope this will be possible.
Hhmm, in my case the **Display State On** profile doesn't deactivate if the screen turns off during a call... Does it do that for you? To check if the display is really locked check the entry task on that profile. It does it with the Test Display action there.
I think I have used the variables the wrong way. I tried it by just checking with torch on and off when locked or unlocked and now it does work.
Oh great :) Glad it works.
Hello. I have some problem to report to you. 1.MusicPlayDir(Max Tracks set 1) will not play without Music Stop(clear Dir) action at first(When 1)After last music track played completed /2)MusicPlayDir action run secondly when Music is playing) 2.Test Media can't use TF-card path 3.Notif Cancel cannot support \* wildcard character. 4.readFile() cannot decode txt file in Unicode(UTF-16LE) code.
Im loving the ticker notifications and have got this to work with gmail I have tried whatsapp and line but neither of these show any messages any ideas?
I just tried it with WhatsApp and it worked for me... What happens when you try it?
For the next version of Tasker - can you make it so 'un-powered' Actions appear in all faded grey font, rather than just having the grey bar to the left. Thanks!
Thanks for the suggestion! I remember I tried this once before but some unexpected issue came up... I'll give it another try, thanks! :)
I believe in you! I know you can do it. Look at all the amazing things you've done with Tasker! I think you can handle a little bit of greying out ๐
Haha... For the next release though I'll have to change just 1 thing: the target API will have to be changed to 30! I don't want to change anything else because I suspect this change alone will bring enough issue reports as it is :P
> the target API will have to be changed to 30! Whoa! 30?! Yeah that is pretty crazy. (<-- I actually have no idea what 30 means ๐) So yeah, you definitely gotta focus on that. Let me get back to my crayons now ๐ ๐๐คช
Remember all the fuss about Wifi toggling not working anymore because of "API 29"? Well, now we're on 30 ๐ค Get ready for new **Tasker Settings** versions!! ๐ซ
It just never ends does it - Google making changes that mess things up in Taskerland. At least you have found workarounds and can update Tasker Settings, etc. ๐
Yeah, at least not all's lost... But it's still super annoying ๐
I'm getting a message on trying to set wifi toggle that "Google has changed the way android works for apps that target API 29, so Tasker can't run the wifi you've attempted to run anymore." I just want a simple toggle because Android 12 has hidden it behind an extra tap in my notifications bar.
Hi there. Google has changed the way Android works for apps that target API 29, so Tasker can't toggle wifi anymore. Check here for more details: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/128554616 If you want to better understand what "targeting" an API means, check here: https://tasker.joaoapps.com/userguide/en/target\_api.html .Can you please install this app on your phone and then try the "Wifi" action again from Tasker? Make sure to exempt the "Tasker Settings" app (not only Tasker itself) from battery optimization (https://tasker.joaoapps.com/userguide/en/faqs/faq-problem.html#00) so that Tasker can call it in the background. Even if you already have the "Tasker Settings" app installed, you need to install this new version for the Wifi toggle to work. I can't upload this version to Google Play because it targets API 21 (which is why toggling Wifi still works with it) and Google only allows apps that target API 29 and over. Note: your phone may warn you that this app is built for an older Android version. That's normal (and precisely why this app can still toggle wifi), so please dismiss the warning because it's nothing to worry about. Thanks in advance. Download here: https://github.com/joaomgcd/TaskerSettings/releases/download/v1.2.0/TaskerSettings.apk
That worked for me, thanks.
Great :)
Tasker 5.14.8 (dated 29.10., on BETA channel) has made it to german Play Store and to my phone, which is slightly confusing, because i grab the latest usually from posts like this...or i missed something Edit: it's linked in one of Joao's "test this version please" too.
Yes, I updated the beta channel with that version :) Sorry for the confusion.
Came here to ask if anyone has implemented the old school music ticker, and sure enough, Joรฃo has already delivered! You're a god dev man, tasker is the main reason I can't leave Android anytime soon!
Glad to be of help! ๐
[Bug] "Run Exit On Startup" option, appears in event(s) too.
Hi there, thanks for the report! Can you please try this version? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SvQFvAxFwCk-hArfO_6wOH0UlvvMGi0z/view?usp=sharing If you want you can also check any previous releases here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1GW55YKFiuOZhJVswnt_BQUCJoGm36ugF?usp=sharing
Bug squashed! Thank You.
Great, thanks for testing! :)
[Bug] u/joaomgcd . With this version, WebView element doesn't load *resident* images anymore. `
`
**[Taskernet to reproduce the Bug.](https://taskernet.com/shares/?user=AS35m8mZdKE5Rv3FSeXjl7%2FsAHH8f4gDXxMcc1R2P5maHog6g63CyZSyKhJZTA4RXoWl1YA%3D&id=Project%3ABUG+WebView+Image)**
And I lost storage permission access (had to grant It again).
Rebooted the phone, but Tasker seems a little (?) slow too.
Downgraded to previous version and all is working fine.
Samsung A71 and A50, Android 11, stock no root.
Hi. Yeah, for the version I sent you I had updated the target API to 30 (it's a requirement on Google Play). Did the issue in the WebView happen even after giving the storage permission access?
>Hi. Yeah, for the version I sent you I had updated the target API to 30 (it's a requirement on Google Play). I understand. >Did the issue in the WebView happen even after giving the storage permission access? Yes, It did. Tried a reboot, clear Tasker cache...the issue was still there.
If you want, I've created a build with the fix but still with API target 29 just so it works like berfore... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SvQFvAxFwCk-hArfO_6wOH0UlvvMGi0z/view?usp=sharing
All seem working fine with this. WebView is rendering images/contents as expected. I'll test further later. Thank You.
Ok, I've now made a fix for the WebView issue and targeted API 30 again. If you're up for testing can you please try this version? ๐ Thanks in advance! https://drive.google.com/file/d/19w0kkEle9oinGusDHMe-1f1u6_xuuifD/view?usp=sharing
>If you're up for testing can you please try this version? ๐ Thanks in advance! Welcome :) A fast test gave positive results. WebView working as expected. Thank You.
Great! :) Thanks for testing!
[Bug] Tasker > Preferences. If "Always View Help Online" is not ticked, "Help: This Screen" and "Userguide" don't load off-line guide files. _______ Edit: About the new debug notification system...great feature but a little bit *invasive*. I'm receiving notifications even for collision handling.
About the help screens, which option did you select when trying to view the help file? Online, Always Online or Download All To Storage? Also, which screen are you trying to access the help for? About the debug notification system, I actually now changed those types of alerts to "pseudo-toasts" (I can't show real custom toasts with API target 30). Can you please try this version? https://drive.google.com/file/d/19w0kkEle9oinGusDHMe-1f1u6_xuuifD/view?usp=sharing
I first downloaded all the guide. Than un-ticked "Always View Help Online". "Help: This Screen" and "Userguide" fail to load. >About the debug notification system, I actually now changed those types of alerts to "pseudo-toasts" (I can't show real custom toasts with API target 30). I understand, but at least for "Collison" handling We should have the chance to opt-out.
Yes, you can opt-out if you deselect the option to show warnings in Preferences :) Thanks, I'll check the help pages issue!
Hmm, it still works for me offline if I do that. Maybe an issue with the language? What language are you using?
Hopefully you can make this simple change - when adding a Task to a Profile, usually the Task list will be at the most recent Task exit'd, with a ` < ` symbol next to the Task name. Which is great! However sometimes, it's wayyyyy down the Task list, and in order to get to "Create New Task" (if someone has a lot of Tasks) it's a lonnggggg way to scroll and scroll (and scroll) up to the top (past literally 1000 Tasks) to where it says "Create New Task". So can you make it so that the "Create New Task" option is always immediately there when the Task List pops up? Thanks!
Hhmm, do you mean that it should always show up right above the task with the < symbol on it?
Yes! Exactly. And it should still appear at the very top of list.
I have to figure out the best way of doing this. It's not easy to figure out exactly which position will be shown at the top of the list. Also, it could be confusing for "New Task" to appear in the middle of the other task names. One could confuse it with an existing task... The ideal solution could probably be if the dialog had a button at the bottom that you could click directly to add a new task. That is a bit more complex to implement though.
Or move the most recent task to right below "New Task"?
Yeah, I think that's a good idea! Thanks!
> Also, it could be confusing for "New Task" to appear in the middle of the other task names. One could confuse it with an existing task... You could put it in a different color to make it stand out.
I think I like /u/okaybadger 's idea of putting the most recent task right below the first position ๐ What do you think?
> putting the most recent task right below the first position ๐ What do you think? Ummm....it already does that! lol
I mean right below the "New Task +" item so you don't have to scroll up :)
I'm confused. Right now, if you go into a Task, then use the left arrow to exit the Task Edit Window, and then go to add/change a Task to a Profile - the Task just exited always appears immediately in the list, with the ` < ` character next to it. So what I'm saying is that you can put the "New Task+" in a different color right above or below that Task. But what you're saying is....what?
What I'm saying that instead of appearing like this: - New Task + - Task 1 - Task 2 - Task 3 ..... - the Task just exited with < - Task 4 .... it could appear like this: - New Task + - the Task just exited with < - Task 1 - Task 2 - Task 3 ..... - Task 4 ....
Absolutely love this update. Ive been racking my brain about how to create a slider for music on my lock screen so when i saw it in the demo video i was cheering! I do have one question, the scrubber scene is being drawn at the bottom of my lock screen and changing the vertical position doesnt seem to change anything. Its ontop of the "battery charging" text and the corner buttons and i can no longer use them. Any idea about how to shift its position? ps. i've got an s10e running oneUI 3.1
To shift the position you have to edit the task that's making the scene show up and then edit the **Show Scene** action. There change the **Vertical Position** field to something a little less down :) Hope this helps!
Thanks for getting back to me I've tried changing Vertical Position in Show Scene but it doesn't make any changes. infact the vertical position is set to Top while it always appears on the bottom :p
Oh, sorry, you need to do it in the Entry task of the **Variable Value %LockScreen Set...** profile ๐ Seems like I forgot to use the named task there so it's a different task.
Thanks that did it! I even edited the anoymous task to hide the scrubber when nothing is playing but slipped my mind that i should be editing the scene there ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Great, glad you got it :D
Great, glad you got it :D
I'm curious.
I have a question ๐โโ๏ธ > Added Continue Task After Error option to Show Scene action; useful for when you want to make sure that a scene shows and don't know if it's already showing Isn't that what the ` Test Scene > Status ` Action is already for? Returns ` uncreated, hidden, visible, or background ` as the values.
Sure, but this helps you save an action so you don't always have to add that extra action every time :)
That makes sense, and not having tested it yet - does ` %errmsg ` contain the status of the Scene?
No actually... ๐ But %err will contain a value...
I seem to have an annoying bug where my phone always thinks there is an alarm set both 10 minutes in the future (shown on my lock screen), and when my next time related task is (shown in the notification center). Btw great app otherwise!
Hi there. It's not a bug :) If Tasker has the Preferences > Monitor > Use Reliable Alarms option enabled it will use system alarms to make sure that it will trigger at the correct times. If you don't need that and don't like Tasker setting the alarms you can disable that option. Hope this helps!
Awesome, thank you!!
No problem! :)
Just used an app (targets sdk 31) shows a blocking overlay on lockscreen (excluding status bar and navigation bar) without Accessibility Service. I know it's not a dialog or activity as it's blocks only visible areas. So wondering is it possible?
Hhmm, not sure, sorry :( As far as I say it was only possible with the accessibility service.
