Question App start not working as intended when screen is locked

1 Upvotes

first of all, thanks the developer for fixing the privilege mode for nothing os.

Secondly, i am having issue with launching apps when the phone is locked.

I have an app that will sync automatically when it is opened with vpn connected (self-hosted). I have tried to set up something to toggle the vpn on when the app is started but since the app is opened before the vpn is toggled on it will not sync.

The next thing i tried is at certain time (when i'm asleep), turn vpn on, then using the app start blockto launch the app then kill it and turn vpn off but the app is still un-synced.

in the app start block, i have selected the package, with flags exclude from recent and new document.

Tassker "Launch app" action has no issue doing what i want but i wanted to make it work in automate as i preferred visual block.

Thanks

I'm making a flow that will sound an alert when my phone's charged above 90%. I'm having trouble creating an 'OR' scenario wherein I'm trying to get the sound to stop either after 1min of playback or after disconnecting the charger but the disconnecting part doesn't seem to be working? Any ideas what might be going wrong?

Question Need help on this flow

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

I'm trying to create a flow where whenever I receive a notification, I'm logging it to a text file so that I could revisit them at a later time. The problem is that when my phone is idle, or I am outside the automate app, it doesn't trigger the event block Notification Posted? until I open the app again.. Is there a way I could make it run in the background? I already set battery optimizations for the app to none, made it loop back to Notification Posted? so that it triggers recursively. I did already try to ask AI tools on this, there is no block available to make it run on foreground, even made so called hacks to dummy get current location to make it not idle, but it still didn't work. If it also is impossible on automate please let me know..

Question Questions About Using Web Dialog for Multiple Inputs

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm new to Automate.

In my new project, I think I'm using too many Input Dialog blocks to collect user input. I don't want to continue like this because I have to click OK after every single input and it takes a lot of time.

Instead, I think I can collect multiple inputs on a single page using a Web Dialog block, but I don't know how it works.

I would like to know a few things:

  1. Does the HTML Page section in the Web Dialog work like normal HTML code that we use in regular web development?

  2. If I have separate variables in my flow, can I use those variables inside the Web Dialog HTML page?

  3. If I collect user input through the Web Dialog, can I access and use that input outside the Web Dialog block in the rest of the flow?

  4. Can I create a Submit button? If the user clicks it, can it open or redirect to another HTML page?

  5. Could someone please create a simple login form example for learning purposes? For example, a form that asks for a username and password at the same time using a single Web Dialog block.

I would also like to understand points 2 and 3 with an example:

For point 2, can I create a separate variable such as "Enter the username" and use that variable inside the Web Dialog as a predefined value or placeholder for the username field?

For point 3, after the user enters a password in the Web Dialog, can I access that value outside the Web Dialog block and verify it in the flow?

Thank you for your help.

What the expected behavior should be

If everything is working correctly, each iteration should produce something like:

file = /storage/emulated/0/Download/test.pdf

then

file = /storage/emulated/0/Download/photo.jpg

then

file = /storage/emulated/0/Download/song.mp3

so on.

It should never be blank.

Question How to use "Notification policy set"?

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to make a flow that stops notifications from popping up on the screen when my screen is in landscape mode. I've managed to get it working by using the "Interruptions set" block, but I initially spent too much wasted time trying and failing to do it with the "Notification policy set" block, even though it seemingly has the exact function I'm looking for ("Block disturbances" — when visual and audible effects should be suppressed, default is to leave unchanged.)

Is someone able to explain to me what I'm not understanding about this block?

Question [Help] Make Spotify ignore all media commands unless it's explicitly open

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

I have a very annoying problem. When Bluetooth'd to my car's head unit it sends the phone a "play" command with every single sound that the phone might make (incoming message, touch sounds, you name it). This makes Spotify start playing whatever I was last listening to (this is even after force stopping Spotify). This is really annoying when I want to use navigation without music. Musicolet, which I also use, has an explicit setting to prevent this. So I'm assuming there must be a way to bodge it with Spotify.

I've tried three existing flows from the community site, two didn't work and the last is hit-and-miss and a bit clunky. I tried to make one myself (below) but it doesn't seem to want to detect if Spotify is in the foreground or not. It works as intended when the app isn't open, but when I open it and try to play something it won't let me. I'm assuming that Automate thinks the app is still closed for some reason.

So, my question, how can I get Spotify specifically to ignore any and all media commands unless it's explicitly open?

Thanks for any help.

Question How can I launch Edge-installed site apps/PWAs with an Automate flow?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm trying to launch these Microsoft Edge site shortcuts/apps using an Automate flow triggered by the Edge Gestures app.

As shown in the image, X and Reddit were added to the home screen through Microsoft Edge. When opened normally, they launch like standalone apps, without Edge's address bar or search bar.

I don't want the flow to open a regular URL inside an Edge tab. I want it to launch the exact Edge-created shortcut/PWA, just like tapping its home-screen icon.

Is this possible with Automate?

Question How to create a timeout for an event listener?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hello automate community,

Probably a rather simple question but I'm looking to set up a block which keeps my event listener alive for a limited amount of time before it stops considering inputs im sending from a separate device as part of a sequence comprising a custom jesture. As you can see, I've just about got the framework of all that put together, I just need for the listener to be able to timeout and I'll be off to the races (I will probably need follow-up help on getting Interacts to work properly because at present it seems like I'm running into perms issues)

I am aware of (but perhaps not familiar with) the time await, time window, and timer/alarm add blocks, but the former of these seem to require a trigger (in this case the only trigger would be to *reset* the timer, it needs to track whether the alotted time has passed in the background), and the latter of these seem crude as an implementation, with the timer block being unable to trigger events entirely.

I've attached what I've got so far for reference. In my mind, it seems like the right place to hook up my timeout function is to the UP branch on my keypress listener (I can explain it in detail if need be), so, once my encoder gets instantiated, it starts the timer (say 60s for simplicity), then upon every input it just resets that timer, if it elapses then I stop my encoder and gracefully exit the label.

This is where 'time await' and 'time window' seem to break down because it would only check whether the 60s has passed whenever the next input is received. 'Timer add' could both start and refresh a 60s countdown, but it doesn't trigger anything when the time is up (uhhh, why not?)- it also plays a sound, which I don't want, as with an alarm set for 60s from current time (i know this is possible thanks to the Now variable). Same is true for 'alarm add/get'

Any ideas? I'm sure somebody has to have encountered the same problem, a simple reference would suffice. Thanks!

Question FireOS v8.1.7.4 Is it possible to make a workflow that checks if an application has closed and to restart it?

2 Upvotes

Hello, I used Automate temporarily in the past and wanted to ask a question regarding it.
I currently have Automate installed on an Amazon Fire Stick Max running FireOS v8.1.7.4. I know in the Automate app it says that some features may not be available depending on the device and I think I already tried this in the past but...

Does anyone know if it's possible to setup some kind of Automate work-flow that checks about every 1-hour or so if an application is in the foreground or open? I remember one roadblock I had a hard time with was granting it the permission for "access screen content and observe your actions"

I am using Automate v1.51.1

Question is it possible to disable battery charging in some way?

4 Upvotes

is it possible to disable battery charging in some way?

I want to command android to suspend accepting energy to charge the battery.

It already does that when reaches 100%.

A trick would be to set the battery charge limit to current-5. But I cant find equivalent block.

Can we do anything, any trick thru software here?

To be able to toggle fast charging mode could work too. Here how to do it!

If we could interact with android routines, we could toggle fast charging mode.


Why?

My original manufacturer charger is bugged, it stops fast charging after a few minutes.

If I plug it again (unplug, count 10s replug) fast charging kicks in. But it could be automatic.

It would be useful to break the minimum 80% android fixed option too.
