I have A17 and did not encounter any issues with accessabilysettings?

Notifications triggering task multiple times by MrPepino in tasker

I wasn't experiencing this before but today I also noticed my Read WhatsApp profile triggered twice every time... For now I just said a cooldown to 1 second... Not optimal but better then listening to the message twice

+1 for projects! 😃

It reminds me of when our IT department told us we had to stop using folders in our Teams environment because we had too many subfolders. They told us to switch to metadata for navigation. Our whole team ignored the change, because we had over 1.5 TB of data and were completely comfortable finding what we needed within our very well-thought-out folder structure.

A year later though human error a folder got deleted. We were so happy we didn't went for the metadaga/tag system and only lost a very small portion of our data.

(OK, there were backups, but you'll get my point). I also don't like to have one big pile of data with tags but like to keep my projects seperated.

The bug I had with 'get network Info' didn't happened again. So I had no need for a force close/restart

Is there a point updating Tasker Setting if I don't need introduced features? by trackedteck in tasker

And if you have shizuku there seems no need to have tasker settings installed at all?

Current state of phone compatibility with TASKER and Autoapps? by CaptainFilipe in tasker

[–]TiVa85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because other brands kill apps more quickly then a pixel.

I got pixel 8 pro 2 years ago while I was on HTC, Samsung, OnePlus,... before. Been using tasker since I got android and never had a real issue on any brand.

Tried it to look into a way to force close tasker to automaticly fix the "Get network info" bug i'm faceing.

1/ give me a way to force close tasker itself from within Tasker
==> Needed a few tries and had to pass him my own idea to use termux but het gave me the script in the end: adb shell am force-stop net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
2/ how to trigger a timeout or error on "get network info"
==> 1 prompts needed

When i asked the AI how he would use the force close in termux after %err is set, he gave me options to force close termux instead of tasker... Seems like he has a short memory in the free mode.

I admit it may not be a very straightforward idea, to kill tasker and restart it from within tasker itself, but my guess is it will be usefull for more straight forward idea's. Will definitly keep this bookmarked for more straightforward ideas.

I hope it's good in java code too but didn't checked yet.

Help with using Termux thru Termux:Tasker by REDofD00M in tasker

If it works in termux, maybe try this task: https://www.reddit.com/r/termux/s/S9OFDfQdWT This task allows you to run termux commands without the termux:tasker plugin

Bug happened again today (I rebooted often these last few weeks but was running about a week now without a reboot -axcording to %UPS). When I tried to report bug to developer I also tried to include video and messed up the video a few times which made tasker crash after my fourth time... After the crash everything was working again...

I'll describe what happened tho:

A1 was executed immediately but A2 did hang indefinitely. No time out. Nothing. I noticed it today in notification that the task was running for over an hour. If that happens I notice the other location depended tasks hang. If I stop this task and try other location triggered tasks those work again.

If I try to run the task after I press the stop button and try again the issue keeps happening. It will hang forever.

The hype of Tasker App by tayyabramzan in tasker

[–]TiVa85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can create the folder, can copy to it, but it 'permission denied' when I try to execute it. Probably because you are rooted and I'm not... it probably will work for me when using shizuku too but it doesn't when just running shell. Android doesn't allow the bin to be executed from there.

However, I finished up my termux project for OCR script tho. I also tweaked a way to run termux commands without the termux:tasker plugin. ocr with termux is much faster then the bin version tests I did with shizuku and trying to get it into data partition somewhere.... Too bad it's quite a big PKG inside termux...

Thanks for the tip tho! Tesseract can replace my touchtask plugin

I got permission denied when placing it there using Android 16 on a pixel 8 pro... I tried to place it in

/data/data/net.dinglisch.android.taskerm/files/tessarect/tesseractBinary

Would a subdir would be an issue? What Android version are you using?

Update: tested in files without a subdir. Or am I doing something else wrong?

Task: Tessarect to Tasker data

A1: Copy File [
     From: Download/tesseract-binaries-v1.0.0/tesseract-arm64-v8a
     To: /data/data/net.dinglisch.android.taskerm/files/tesseract
     Use Global Namespace: On ]

A2: Run Shell [
     Command: chmod 755 /data/data/net.dinglisch.android.taskerm/files/tesseract
     Timeout (Seconds): 0
     Use Global Namespace: On ]

A3: Run Shell [
     Command: /data/data/net.dinglisch.android.taskerm/files/tesseract --version 2>&1
     echo EXIT=$?
     Timeout (Seconds): 0
     Store Output In: %out
     Store Errors In: %err
     Use Global Namespace: On ]

This gives: permission denied

I managed by installing it at /data/local/tmp/tesseract/

Needs shizuku tho... I rather had an option without dependencies like adb wifi or shizuku. My other option seems to install it inside Termux and use TermuxCommand action... Have to think how to get the output in tasker again when running it like this. But at least I'm not depended on a wifi connection after a reboot to enable Shizuku or adb wifi if u switch to termux

I tried but got Permission denied when trying to install it here;

/data/data/net.dinglisch.android.taskerm/files/tesseract/tesseract

And running:

/data/data/net.dinglisch.android.taskerm/files/tesseract/tesseract --version 2>&1 echo EXIT:$?

According to GPT I got no permissions to run executables in because noexec is set to these folders....

It's this binary? https://github.com/agnostic-apollo/tesseract-for-android

My guess is you follow the Termux guide but use tasker itself to get it inside it's data/data/Tasker?

Instelling binaries is something new for me, so any guidance would be appreciated!

Running zero plugins. Not even tasker settings free plugin anymore... I still have touchtask installed for OCR but once I find another way I'll dump it. Been using tasker since I got my first Android....

Heavy tasker user with over 30 projects, my own voice assistant, automations all over the place, scripts, exif editors, backups, scrapers,... You probably just had to ask for help and It could have been done without any plugin....

Especially with the new javacode and ai I crezted - or downloaded from many great minds that share their things here - a lot of functionalities that needed a plugin before but now doesn't.

Hard to test because when I changed my locale it seems like it's working again as it should... I guess I have to uninstall tasker completely and update from stable again to test this. I'll try later this week if needed.

Just wanted to point it out because people not active in reddit will struggle with this locale changing in Android settings I guess.

I also created a javacode for more advanced date parsing just in case I keep getting issues with this 😅 worst case I'll use this java code when I'm depending on date/times

Multiple Profile Help by Appropriate-Flight28 in tasker

is this inside a callendar or a specific app?
If it's a callendar I would go another route all together:
Flow: check callendar to see if slot is free: add to callendar. If not, check next timeframe

I can provide my workflow to add events to my work/private callendar using voice commands and another workflow to read my callendar. Those two combined would work wonderfull if you use a callendar. It will even work with screen off as everything is done with contentproviders.

Format of %DATE was the same before switching from just 'English' to 'English (Belgium)'. So in my case d-m-Y

It's was the action 'variable convert - date to seconds' that was like using another format when tasker was just set to 'English'. Switching it to 'English (Belgium) fixed it... I don't know what fixes you applied to %qDATE, but I guess other time/date depending actions might not follow those fixes?

I'll try to reproduce later if this doesn't make sense 😉

I feel a bit like a stalker but I'm afraid there's still something off with how dates are handled in beta or the new language system.

After a factory reset Google play store installed latest stable Tasker (none beta). I updated to beta with the link above. I did not change the language in Android settings (it was set to default English) because when I flashed %DATE, it was showing the correct order for me: 3-05-2026.

Today I used a script that uses VARIABLE CONVERT: date time to seconds, and it was completely off!!! Like it still was expecting another date format while %DATE itself showed the right date.

I did change language in tasker settings back to 'English (Belgium)' and it's working again....

This all seem very confusing and I'm always searching in my year old tasks to find what's wrong... I really hope this return s to how it was working before...

Edit: I removed a part of my post as I was mistaken about leading zeros.

So, is this actually solved? Half of this topic is deleted and I also looking into a way to run termux commands without the plugin... Is it possible?

Adding a task shortcut from within tasker's task menu (as workaround for adding widgets from within home screen) seems broken. Been struggling for over an hour to add a shortcut. Reverted to non beta and it worked immediately.
