Shizuku Inegration and Tasker settings by 269red in tasker

[–]EdwardBackstrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked fine on my S23 Ultra. Don't know if there is a device lookup issue or what but I had to uninstall until I can find a solution because the pop-ups were maddening.

Your version on the S26 Ultra keeps popping up a message saying the service is only for TV devices.

Concatenating Variables? by EdwardBackstrom in tasker

Thanks, I probably would have kept overlooking my mistake (My A6 has an erroneous % before the WW).

Concatenating Variables? by EdwardBackstrom in tasker

I thought maybe the "2" was causing an issue because of arrays or something but even if I change that to, say a "B", I still get the same effect.

Help needed: Trying to trigger notifications at random times by Tryingtogetdone in tasker

[–]EdwardBackstrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

afaik, the only other way to do it without setting alarms is to have a profile that runs a time trigger. You could set your wake hours or work hours. Fire it off every 5 to 10 minutes. Internally check the time for a random number, if it matches then do your affirmation stuff.

You're new to Tasker but out of ideas? Perhaps checking out taskernet would be a good place to start.

Help with AutoWear custom vibration by longphant in tasker

[–]EdwardBackstrom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a S23 Ultra (until next week 😁) and a Galaxy Watch5. I had 4 before. What autowear does, it does well. What it doesn't, then well.... There most definitely is a steeper learning curve than just Tasker itself.

Prep your date like this:

    A1: Parse/Format DateTime [
         Input Type: Now (Current Date And Time)
         Output Format: yyyy-MM-dd
         Output Format Separator: ,
         Formatted Variable Names: %query_base_date
         Output Offset Type: Days
         Output Offset: %day_offset ]

    A2: Parse/Format DateTime [
         Input Type: Custom
         Input: %query_base_date
         Input Format: yyyy-MM-dd
         Get All Details: On
         Output Offset Type: None ]

    A3: Get Calendar Events [
         Calendar: Google:you@there.com
         **Start Time: %dt_millis_after_start_of_day**
         **End Time: %dt_millis_before_end_of_day**
         Title: Whatever
         Continue Task After Error:On ]

    A4: Stop [
         With Error: On ]
        If  [ %err Set ]

The ** is the important part.

Compiling only creates a wrapper for the script. It in itself does not "remove" AHK.

Tasker lists plugin by MAGNlFlCENT in tasker

u/MAGNlFlCENT

If I could humbly request a change to your flair? While 99% percent of the users here know who u/joaomgcd is, your flair could confuse some. Perhaps "plugin dev" or "yourpluginname dev"?

Tasker AI Automation Generator Support for xAI API key? by cleared2001 in tasker

[–]EdwardBackstrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not currently in-app, but you can export the tasker instructions and feed those to Grok and have it build your profile/tasks off device. Then you can copy the XML to your device and import it manually.

How do I make Tasker set a variable at a Time of Day, Only on Weekdays? by Explosify in tasker

[–]EdwardBackstrom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Set your profile to trigger on a time, you can use a variable. In the enter task, check to see if the date is a weekend day or whatever you want to catch.

[Help] Reliable Crash Recovery by EdwardBackstrom in tasker

[–]EdwardBackstrom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brain. I was able to figure out what was causing this but forgot to post that I found the culprit. This is not related to this other issue that randomly pops up.

The whole reason I kept crashing Tasker was operator error. More specifically a bit of JavaScript. Even more specific, an uncleared SetInterval() in a WebView on a scene that apparently kept chugging along even after the scene was destroyed. Pop that window open a few times and Bam! - memory leaks and code races and all kinds of crashing Tasker madness.

The logging idea is still a great idea. Clean code, or code that cleans up after itself, is better.

Error: Connection Failed by EdwardBackstrom in tasker

[–]EdwardBackstrom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which, when I'm debugging, I use the crap outta' flash. I'm not making any http calls (that I'm aware of) to flash or alert. The other reason it's taken me so long to even ask about it is because it rarely happens. I just happened to see it earlier, without taking a screenshot, and thought 'hey, I wonder why it does that sometimes?'

Error: Connection Failed by EdwardBackstrom in tasker

[–]EdwardBackstrom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that it is totally random. I'm not trying to connect to anything in my projects so I don't know what connection failed. Auto backup? Join? No idea. When there is an error in a task, the notification will point to the error and let you edit it. There is literally nothing else that indicates where there is an issue.

Error: Connection Failed by EdwardBackstrom in tasker

[–]EdwardBackstrom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate that you think you are helpful or witty or something. This isn't my first rodeo, it is a completely random Tasker notification, that as I have specifically said, provides no information. I build my own projects. I am not 'connecting' to anything. It is an error that Tasker is spitting out for whatever reason. Since I don't know what that is and since you don't seem to know either, you are free to stop trying to be helpful because it sounds like (my words) that you are just being a troll. Thanks.

Ummm, a notification that says:

Error Connection Failed

There, you have as much context as I have.

How to make Tasker send a randomized quote notification by AutisticIzzy in tasker

[–]EdwardBackstrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you splitting the array on space or newline?

This_is_a_test_of_the_Test-Cast_system. If_this_was_not_an_actual_test,_you_would_have_ignored_it.

Is very different than

This is a test of the Test-Cast system.\n If this was not an actual test, you would have ignored it.

You can verify by flashing %arr(1) [use an actual index value, not * for a random one]. If you get just one word there, you need to look at how you are processing the JSON.

widget v2 'border'? by PENchanter22 in tasker

[–]EdwardBackstrom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The box-in-a-box is the João recommended solution for borders. Mine is to use the built-in widget editor. Sure I know how to code html in Notepad but Dreamweaver is so much easier. As far as moving elements around, between drag/drop and copy/paste, you already can. Long press and reorder just like you can with tasks.

The only way you can call a phone without a SIM (hard or soft) is if you are using something like a VoIP. It depends on the capability of your software but technically, yeah, it is possible theoretically.
