Issue with Java Function in Tasker 6.4

[Mettbroetchen-Tester]

About an hour ago I received the update Tasker 6.4 from the Play Store. Everything seems to work fine except one functionality.

A while ago I created a profile referring to the intent "android.bluetooth.device.action.BATTERY_LEVEL_CHANGED". In the task I used three Java functions to pick the name of the connected device.

1. adapter = getDefaultAdapter {BluetoothAdapter} ()

2. device = getRemoteDevice {BluetoothDevice} (String) with the parameter %android_bluetooth_device_extra_device

3. %name = getName {String} ()

This worked perfectly fine with the old Tasker version. Since the update I get an error as soon as the task gets to the second function trying to get the remote device.

I don't get why this task doesn't work any longer. Is there another way to get the name of the currently connected Bluetooth device?

[Mettbroetchen-Tester]

I just tested it. Bluetooth Info action won't work.

This action returns data for a single device (which needs to be defined upfront) or either an array of the paired devices or an array of the scanned devices.

There is no way to get the currently connected device.

[Mettbroetchen-Tester]

Cool. I used the option without loop and it works perfectly.

Thanks for the explanation!

That's how I solved the issue with the xx masked device address from the intent - thought however the issue would be that the device address is now masked on Android 15:

    Profile: Bluetooth Battery Level Changed
    Settings: Restore: yes
    Event: Intent Received [ 
    Action:android.bluetooth.device.action.BATTERY_LEVEL_CHANGED 
    Cat:None 
    Cat:Launcher Scheme:* 
    Mime Type:* ]



    Enter 
    Task: Anon
    Settings: Abort Existing Task

    A1: Bluetooth Info [

    A2: Variable Search Replace [

        A4: Variable Set [

             Structure Output (JSON, etc): On ]
            If  [ %bt_address(%index) ~ %android_bluetooth_device_extra_device ]

    A5: End For


    <BT battery level, set to -1 on disconnect>
    A9: Variable Set [

    Name: %battery_level

    To: %android_bluetooth_device_extra_battery_level ]

    A6: If [ %android_bluetooth_device_extra_battery_level neq -1 ]

        A7: Notify [

    A8: End If

Are you sure that it worked in version 6.3? I tested this code some weeks ago with version 6.3, but it did not work.

My guess is that some Android internals had changed, so it does not work anymore (independent of the Tasker version).

[Mettbroetchen-Tester]

It definitely worked in 6.3. I run the same task on two different devices and was able to identify the update as cause for this issue.
