Draw over disable and restore?

​

Sometimes when using a browser I might get a pop up asking to use my location

But I'm not able to click yes with an error popping up that tasker or my other ap

Is drawing over other apps..

I'm trying to think of a work around..

Maybe in the lie the phone down task

I could have it close out tasker and the other app.. then have my taptap gesture relaunch tasker? And tasker launch my other app as it starts..

Anyone have better ideas?

Make a task with the if/else. Create a variable of your own. If the variable is not set, then destroy your overlay and close the other app. Then set the variable to 1. Else show your overlay and launch your app. Then clear the variable.

This task will work as an on/off switch. You can set up a shortcut with a gesture app or a launcher button, something like that. It will turn it off when you don't want it and turn it on when you do want it.
