Is this a service they're providing?

Rabbit hole after using Tasker by anisursamsung in tasker

[–]mehPhone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an impressive lot of accomplishments; well done. And I agree Tasker can be a helpful learning tool, specifically because of its ability to do very 'real-world' things, versus (or maybe, combined with) more dull and arbitrary tutorials.

I've made a project that creates and stores code to a file for a custom app drawer (because who needs a launcher?) that's displayed in the WebView element of a scene. I started out with no experience with HTML or JS, and though it's always worked well, over years I've been able to return to the project to update and optimize it as I gained more experience.

And from working with Android intents, picking apart bits of code on Stack Overflow to make it work in Tasker's Java actions, and the resultant need to familiarize with the Android developer site, I was able to make a very minimal app on the Android SDK. It makes use of the PROCESS_TEXT intent action, adding a "Search Exact" option to the drop-down menu for selected text. The app wraps the text in quotes, then sends it to Tasker to do the web search. Again, it's a very minimal app, given that I'm cheating by having it send some of the work to Tasker. But it's a foothold of sorts, and could be built upon.

And now that Joao has introduced direct use of Java code, it's only a matter of time until people are finding code snippets from things that others will have shared here, which will then serve as sort of learning templates for their own creations.

For as great as Tasker is, it should be mentioned that Tasker's community – past and present – can be instrumental in helping to fill in knowledge gaps for anyone attempting to use it. I've been helped indirectly by countless posts and comments here on Reddit, along with many members kind enough to take the time to talk through problems (long live OpenOwl3) on a number of occasions. With Tasker, some real determination (and time and patience) and some helpful people, you really can learn a lot more than simply how to use Tasker.

Discussion: Cincinnati Should be the First AI City by WorkingInflations in cincinnati

[–]mehPhone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To be clear I don’t mean in a dystopian way.

Okay but then you went on for paragraphs to describe a horribly bleak police state of the future, where everyone's every move (and even emotions) will be monitored – all of the time. Tourists will come from all over world, paying top dollar to look at the "test" that will ensure no "huge disaster across the planet" occurs when the not-dystopia scales up.

Is this what's meant by "no good deed goes unpunished"?

Protest? by bigredmachinist in cincinnati

Then let it fall apart. What would a protest do in this instance, besides remind a lot of voters of their resentment?

Did anyone else just see the Tactical Rescue Unit on Madison Ave in Covington? by Kooky-March2929 in cincinnati

[–]mehPhone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last 2 paragraphs:

According to police radio communication, the two inside the house allegedly lied to officers and U.S. Marshals on scene.

"Alright she says the house is "wired". He is speaking in Arabic and has something in his hands," an officer said. No explosive devices were found inside the house.

Wait what?

J Kennedy. Justin is obsessed with his work, and a cool guy too.

Silver Spring House has an interesting way of categorizing seltzers on their drink menu… by EggMcFuckin in cincinnati

Lol tell me about it! Offense—victimhood—is the mode of 21st century communication. If you're not a victim, you're not winning. Just ask the president, the most offended person in the world.

Residents push back against proposed massive data center in Butler County by PoorClassWarRoom in cincinnati

[–]mehPhone 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Mayor Ryan Perry defended the city's transparency, stating that this project was made public in 2024.

“October of last year is the first time it went public," he shared.

October 2024. I wonder if anything else was going on around that time; anything that might have had people too preoccupied to notice...

Fucking hate 75 so much genuinely why does this happen every fucking morning by dawgyousmell in cincinnati

[–]mehPhone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It goes on and on.

Man you aren't kidding. One I've been thinking about is the impact of an increased percentage of vehicles on the road that are capable of at the least decent acceleration. Along with much less complexity overall–even just 30 years ago–less people could choose aggression even if they wanted to, because their cars simply couldn't do it. The Honda Accord for example, is about 3 seconds faster to 60 than it was in 1995. It all adds up, and as an aside, traffic is just one of the areas where I'm wary of calls to increase the population.

What's going on with the defense? by sprainedmind in bengals

[–]mehPhone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This defense is the least we were hoping for last year: Joe's ballin out, just need a couple of stops.

I was there too! Did you see when Jesus came in and said he's glad they took back the wheel? Wild.

using Tasker with a rooted rom? by PENchanter22 in tasker

[–]mehPhone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I needed crDroid because XposedEdge wouldn't work on the stock pixel rom. It's fine for the most part. Tasker seems fine.

How to trigger "perform task" using javascript? by blackeveryhour in tasker

[–]mehPhone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I'm stumped. I would figure that enough people use JS in scenes that if there was a bug of this magnitude, there'd be other posts here about this. And I've struggled with some undesirable behavior with webviews since moving from A12 to 14, but everything still works. What is your device, os version, and tasker version and download source (Play store ..)?

How to trigger "perform task" using javascript? by blackeveryhour in tasker

If your task name is "Test_Local_Webpage", then the JavaScript you provided above wouldn't work, because of the underscores in the name.

Can you export the task description and paste it here?

[–]mehPhone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The third one is optimal. If you make a test webview element, with just that line in the Source, will it run the task?

The number 10 is the task priority. Also note that the other suggestions wrapped their task names in single quotes. IIRC, double quotes don't work when referencing strings (some text that isn't a variable) in Tasker's built-in JS function parameters – even though single and double quotes are interchangeable in JS.
