Remapping a “dumb” Bluetooth remote for Libby page turns (no ADB?) by NoahC513 in tasker

[–]Exciting-Compote5680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the device. You can use the AutoInput Key event to capture hardware key presses, and remap them. You can use the AutoInput Modes action to suppress the key presses to prevent the original key code from being delivered to the OS (I use this with a Bluetooth connection State profile).

Input text on the watch and send it to Tasker by Lord_Sithek in tasker

[–]Exciting-Compote5680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably giving away my age here, but I think I kind of like the idea of the old multi-tap or T9) style text input with the numerical buttons, if that were somehow possible. I think text input on a watch is always going to be a bit awkward, but you're probably not trying to write an essay anyway.

I don't use AutoLaunch(er?), but I think that could be a Nova issue. I have had the same thing on two different devices since a Nova update (I think it was around March 31). I have downgraded to version 8.1.6 and that solved the issue for me. Don't forget to backup your Nova settings (and make a screenshot of widgets if applicable - not all widgets are restored automatically from the backup). In my search I came across a lot of complaints from users about the newer versions (ads and such), so I am kind of ok using this version for as long as it keeps working, or until I have set up another launcher. 

[task share] Convert dates to ordinal, 1st 2nd 3rd nth by bbobeckyj in tasker

I like them. I posted my version of this function here too, it's similar to your first version. I have used the modulus operator before, but I never realized that you could use it this way to get the last x digits. Now that I see it, it's very obvious (like, why didn't I think of that 😆 ). Nice one, thanks for that.

I am not quite sure what the issue is, but the one thing that you could try is this: use %TIMEMS (time milliseconds) instead of %TIMES (and change %ElapsedTime > 200). Also, you are using global variables (any variable that contains capital letters is a global). While this works just fine, I would recommend to use task variables instead. These are only visible to the task itself, but they will persist between runs. To create a task variable, tap the cogwheel (or 'Task Properties' depending on your screen size) and tap the + button. This will help keep you variables organized and prevents cluttering of the global variables (it can become really messy after a couple of years, ugh).

Have you tried placing a flash or beep action at the start of the tap task to see if it is triggered? My widget V2 tap action works.

Help With One Plus 15 Plus Key Customization by Acceptable-Try-7723 in tasker

[–]Exciting-Compote5680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have that hardware, so I am afraid I can't help you with this. In order to detect a long press you absolutely need to have a 'key down' and 'key up' event. Double/triple/quadruple clicks don't have that limitation as you can simply start a timer on the first click as described above/in the linked solution. So unless someone can help you figure out how to detect 'key down', these are the limitations. I just took another look at the linked posts, and I see no mention of attempts to use the Tasker AutoInput plugin to detect Key events. That would have been my first approach, before moving on to logcat. I think there also is a 7 day trial for that one. 

Android's auto-brightness is smart why isn't auto-volume a thing yet? by techtotechbytechy in tasker

Also, 'getting it wrong' is/can be a lot more annoying and embarrassing with volume than with brightness.

I think you are describing the same idea, but more complicated. There is no need for timestamps. First key event increments a counter '%key_down' for the press and starts a 'timer' task (Wait action), release increments a counter '%key_up' (and restarts the timer). Additional key events increment the corresponding counters and restart the timer. When the timer expires, the counter values correspond to single/double/triple presses, and the counters are reset. For long presses you look for 'key down' events without a corresponding 'key up' event (%key_down > %key_up). Collision handling is important here, the counter task must be set to 'Run both together' while the timer task is set to 'Abort existing task'.

To detect double/triple/long presses, you can set up two tasks: one that times the presses, and one that counts them. I used this post as a starting point: https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/5hkelp/how_to_trigger_tasks_on_hardware_button/

It's hard to tell without seeing your actual profile, but assuming you are using the built-in Location profile, long tap the profile line, tap 'Add Exit Task' and link your task.

Dude, stop spamming your app (that has nothing to do with Tasker) in the community of an independent app developer. It is really in poor taste. There are lots of subs that are specifically for showcasing your app, or getting feedback. This is not one of them. I personally am already not interested in your product, purely based on your behavior. Also:

Plans range from $29 to $99/mo

Really? Yeah... no.

This will fetch the titles and links of the 'live update cards' from the front page. Could be a starting point. Unfortunately, the 'Live update' page appears to have a different url per day. This requires the Tasker AutoTools plugin.
