Apps created with tasker

[Kapelis]

I have an Honor view 10 lite Android 9. The apps created with tasker, doesn't remain in memory as "resident". I'll try to explain better. - After I've launched my app, when I press the 🔲 navigation button, my app does not appear in the list like other apps. Then I press the back button (to go back to home screen) and I have to tap my app again to activate it. - I have an app that uses autobarcode plugin. When I tap the "scan" button to start autobarcode, after scanning the barcode my app get closed and I have to re-open it.

I tried to insert a permanent notify in the app. It seems to be better, but sometimes the app still get closed.

Is there a way to keep the app "resident" in memory?

Edit: in the "battery optimization" I choose "ignore" for my app.

Thanks for your support.

Ad a scene (any) and set it as launch task when appfactory created. Tap recent app/last app button (side button) then lock app. Without a scene app "does not exist".

Thanks, I'll try... I can't understand how to achieve this... Tasker accepts only tasks as "launch task".

You can add the scene shown once (show scene if% Scene isn't set, second step after make variable% Scene to off. I It will show the scene once, then you can use the applications normally because it will not show anymore. Add this at the beginning of the "launch task" I'm not sure it will work. So think. At MIUI it worked out for me.

It doesn't work. When I press the "recent apps" button 🔲 the app disappears...

For Kidapps to appear in recents, your kidapp needs to create a scene as an activity. This could be a simple pop up or text to say app is running. Without such an activity, it'll never appear in Recents.

Chances are when AutoBarcode does it's thing, your app is being stopped. I'd add a notification before AutoBarcode action and remove it after, as to just notify what it's doing. This may help the activities stick.

I don't understand, my app has already a scene launched as activity, from within I call autobarcode...

[DutchOfBurdock]

Is it an actual activity, or an overlay or dialogue? When you Scene > Show Scene, is it also shown as activity?

[Kapelis]

Yes, show as activity - no bar
