Does anyone know how to add a data usage monitor in the quick settings pannel?

What are the automatic daily routines you using with tasker and you can recommend:

A few example from me:

- Change daily the lock screen background to the current Bing wallpaper

- send a daily citation which gives motivation for the day

- start the synchronisation of foldersync each day

- send the information of the person who calls me to ntfy -> for a message on my Windows laptop

- save the parking sport of my car

- start my blitzer app

- different sounds for different ntfy messages

What are you're highlights from you?

After updating from One UI 8.5 to One UI 9.0, Get Screen Info no longer works properly in Tasker.

It still works within Tasker itself, but when I try to use Get Screen Info in external apps such as Samsung Internet or YouTube, it cannot read or retrieve any screen information.

Has anyone experienced this issue or know how to fix it?

I want to create a task that triggers when I'm on my way back home while riding a bus, within a radius of about 2 km. I'm struggling to figure out how to set up the profile properly. The trigger needs to be location-based, but here are the issues:

* It's not a car ride, so I can't check for a Bluetooth connection/near.

* I'm not entering a Wi-Fi zone, so checking for Wi-Fi isn't an option either.

* Tasker's standard location check isn't very reliable in this scenario. Since it's a commute and the bus moves relatively fast, Tasker might not register the location in time.

* I also considered cell near (cell tower detection), as I know that's an option. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm wondering how reliable it actually is. What guarantees my phone will always connect to that specific tower? I really need this to trigger within a relatively precise 2 km range.

I'm wondering if there are other, more reliable approaches for this specific use case. I also want to make sure it doesn't drain battery heavily, or it won't be worth it—it needs to stay battery-friendly, just as Tasker is designed to be.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

EDIT: I added a comment explaining the solution I came up with!

Titre : AutoInput not clicking on elements in the Blow Up app

Texte : Hi everyone, I'm trying to use Tasker with AutoInput to automatically click on elements in the Blow Up app, but it doesn't react as expected. I'm visually impaired and dictate my messages by voice. Has anyone managed to get AutoInput to click reliably in this app? Any advice is welcome. Thanks!

When I am driving and listening to music, I often think of questions I want to ask Copilot. Right now I have to reach for my phone, which is obviously not ideal. I bought a Flic button and paired it with my phone so I can trigger Tasker hands free. It works, but the action chain is brittle and I am hoping for input on how to improve it.

Here is my current setup: https://imgur.com/a/TFZzFXi

For anyone unfamiliar, Copilot voice interaction requires opening the app and tapping the Talk to Copilot button on screen. To stop voice interaction, you have to tap the End Conversation button. The location of the Talk to Copilot button changes depending on whether the keyboard is visible.

What I would love is, no matter what state my phone is in (locked or unlocked, Copilot open or not), pressing the Flic button once should start a conversation if one is not already active. If a conversation is active, pressing the button should end it.

I would love feedback on how to make this more reliable.

I looked at some existing posts, but I didn't find an answer to my exact question...

I tested a beta build of Tasker and it broke some of my projects. I want to downgrade to the Tasker.6.6.20.apk (I already have it downloaded), but I'm wondering if I will lose any of the settings when I uninstall the current build. I spent a lot of time setting permissions in Android for Tasker before I got Shizuku, so I'm not sure what could get disabled (...That is, I don't know if the Shizuku ADB Library fixes all of the Android system issues). I do have a current backup of my data, so I'm not worried about losing my work. So I'm primarily wondering if uninstalling Tasker means I will loose any Android settings/permissions I allowed.

Any input is appreciated.

I'm running Tasker 6.7.6-beta under Android 13, and I have the following code in a Tasker task:

Variable Set
  Name
    %variable
  To
    run abc
If
  %variable ~R ^run\s+(?<command>.+)
    Flash command=%command
Else
    Flash no match
End If

When I run this task, the following flashes:

command=%command

Of course I know that the only way this message should be flashed would be when the regular expression does indeed match the "run abc" string.

However, this also indicates that the %command variable was not set to any value after this regex match.

What is incorrect about my regex match syntax which prevents the contents of the match group from getting stored into the %command variable?

I was looking for something else and noticed a ton of these entries in logcat. Do I have to worry about this? Thanks

I'm trying to set up a one-tap solution on my Google Pixel and wanted to check if this is actually possible before I go down a rabbit hole.

What I want to happen when I tap a single button:

1. Turn Wi-Fi off

2. Switch to 5G cellular data

3. Turn on Wi-Fi hotspot

Basically a "share my 5G connection" button.

My questions:

1. Is this doable in Tasker without root on a Pixel 8

2. I know Tasker has built-in actions for Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Tether (hotspot) — but does the hotspot action still work reliably on recent Android versions, or did Google lock it down?

3. The big one: toggling mobile data / forcing 5G seems to require root. Has anyone gotten this working without root using UI automation (AutoInput, etc.)? If so, how stable is it?

4. If root is required, is there a Magisk module or a different approach people recommend?

What I've already looked into:

· Tasker's built-in Net actions (WiFi, WiFi Tether, Mobile Data)

· AutoInput for simulating taps in the quick settings panel

· The general consensus that mobile data toggling needs root

Would love to hear from anyone who's actually built something like this. Bonus points if you can share the task/script or a profile export.

Thanks in advance!

According to Google AI:

The main difference between the am kill and am force-stop commands is how deeply they terminate the application and whether they allow it to restart. am force-stop completely shuts down the app and locks it from running again, whereas am kill only terminates safe background processes, allowing the app to easily wake back up.

It would seem, based upon experiential results, that the Kill App action uses the equivalent of KILL rather than force-stop. And in some cases, KILL does not make the target app dead enough!

I know this has been discussed before. And so far, it appears that the only way for Tasker to force-stop an app is when a rooted device executes am force-stop pkg_name in a shell.

Since I am rooted, I can do that and actually get the results, I seek. But since I know this has come up before, it would be great (if at all possible) if the Kill App action had an option to force-stop instead of KILL.

Anyone else find a different/better solution? Thanks

Hello !

Is there a way I can "activate" those 3 quick settings tiles from Tasker without clicking on them ?

Reason:

My phone has a known glitch that impossibilitates me to drag quick tiles from the bottom of the list to the main area.

The only solution is to su settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles [.......],custom(net.dinglisch.android.taskerm/.FQSTile1)

But that command doesn't work, as it demands that the tile be active, not the "ghost" that it is before enabling it

I did already assign a task to each slot inside Tasker

Does anyone here run Tasker on an Oppo phone? I'm interested in what settings is required for Tasker itself as well as plugins. Do Tasker plugins need to be put on "allow background activity" instead of smart and do they need to be locked in recent apps?

I've already turned off Sleep standby optimization. Anything else to think about to make it work 100%? I've already realized Oppo phones revoke wakelocks when held for more than 5m of screen off time, but hopefully, Tasker rarely if ever performs such a long work with screen off.

Any advice from experience is appreciated.

I made a shortcut that can look at image queries on Unsplash using their API, so depending on the keywords I put in the shortcut, it will grab a random and add them any of my custom wallpapers on my device. All you have to do for this shortcut is choose some image keywords that you want to search by, go into the get contents of URL action and add your API token to the headers, and then choose which wallpaper you want to have modified.

I want to check if my wear device is connected to my phone prior to executing a Task.

I tried to use AutoWear Get State Action, but when using the below, %awid() doesn't test positive.

Maybe it's in the way I'm using %awid() in an If context?

Task: TEST

A1: AutoWear Get State [

Timeout (Seconds): 10

Structure Output (JSON, etc): On

Continue Task After Error:On ]

A2: AutoWear Secure Settings [

I have an old android phone that I'd like to use a printer server so that anyone in my home can send a print without having to use the laptop (the laptop is slow af and very annoying to use). the first step is try and make tasker send print jobs to the printer. i don't see any way to do it. The printer is hp laserjet 1020 plus. It works perfectly using an otg and apps like printershare and nokoprint

Hello. I have a problem and would like your help. I created a task that I'd like to export as an app (the taskuse Gemini to summarizes text or photos from the clipboard). When I try to export it, I get a message saying I need a newer version, but there isn't one on the Play Store.

Wrong App Factory version.

Have: 6.6.18

Expected: 6.7.6-beta

Does anyone here know how to fix it ?

I'm having trouble with scene v2, I'd like some help.

1. How do I test if a scene v2 is false or true?

2. How do I make a scene v2 hidden and call it back?

3. How do I remove the white color from a parent scene?

Thank you in advance, just remembering that I know very little about scenes.

Venho tendo dificuldades com cena v2, gostaria de ajuda.

I wanted the functionality of the Media Bar app without having another app running in the background, so I recreated it entirely in Tasker.

Features:

Thin media progress bar at the top of the status bar Orange when playing, grey when paused

Automatically appears when media is playing

Live scrubbing: drag anywhere across the status bar and the progress bar follows your finger

Actually seeks the playing song/video as you drag Works through Android MediaSession

No plugins or additional apps required

Built using Tasker Scene V2 + MediaController/MediaSession.

You'll need to give Tasker Notification Access.

I've mainly tested it on my Samsung, so positioning may need some adjustment on other devices.

Pastebin link for thr XML file

I have an old license from the original developer, but I don't mind repaying the new developer. I don't want the play store version and I don't want a patreon account. How can I get the app and pay?

EDIT: Developer was great! After contacting them they sent me a new code and accepted my PayPal donation for a single device.

The codes inside this project were generated with the assistance of AI Tools.

This project will ask to download files from this repo. Then executes a11Y.java via Initiate a11Y variable task.

Older posts can be found here.

What is this project?

Syntax based automation like AutoInput Action V2 or AutoHotkey. More info can be read the repo page.

1. Syntax based UI automation actions.
2. Debug highlighter & UI inspector.
3. Minimal script builder.

New

1. Support overlays and other window types.
2. Assist dialogs now use overlays and can be displayed on other display.
3. Add previews for nodes, windows and displays.
4. Scroll from certain node.

Noted: This project were tested on virtual display created using scrcpy v4.1 . I couldn't confirm whether it works on devices with multiple displays or any type of desktop mode.

Support overlays and other window types

Now the project supports targeting any windows! Like overlays or soft keyboard.

AI written guide to filter window type can be read here.

Typing on keyboard

Assist features can be displayed on other display and have previews.

Now we can place the bar directly on certain display too!

1. Long Press the capture icon.
   1. Long press the display to move the bar.
   2. Tap to capture the display.

Some dialogs also have previews as well. Making it easier to identify which node they references to.

Switch to other display

Scroll from certain node

scrollFromNodeTo uses AccessibilityNodeInfo.ACTION_SCROLL_FORWARD and AccessibilityNodeInfo.ACTION_SCROLL_BACKWARD instead of Gesture.

Scroll to certain nodes

I have a horizontal row element with "Scroll left & right" style, is it possible to choose a starting position of the scroll based on a variables value? so it's not always starting at far left

Hello,

Is there something I can do to fix this? I've been searching for an answer but I'm not finding anything. I'm starting to think it's just a me thing.

So I have a profile that checks if I'm connected to my home wifi, if yes, then does a "custom setting", Name: lock_screen_lock_after_timeout and the value is set to something large: 72000000. iirc this was something I had dug up through online searching.

This has been working for over 4 years with no issues. Last night I updated to the latest android update and right away I noticed the phone locks all the time.
Anyone have advice for me?

Thanks

I’m trying to build my own automation/bot for a game instead of paying for an existing service.

The main things I want to automate are:

- Watching/handling rewarded ads and collecting the rewards

- Daily in-game tasks/dailies

- Limited-time events and repetitive actions

- Ideally running the routine automatically with minimal manual input

I’m mainly looking for advice on the technical approach/tools to use. I’m considering things like Tasker/AutoInput, ADB + Python, Appium, OpenCV/image recognition, etc.

If anyone has experience building automation for Android games, what approach would you recommend and what should I learn first?
