This is a standard task tag? What app verison? Can you enable debugging in the settings and grab the logcat output while it runs and stop?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Ok, so I can recreate this in 3.2.0 and the new RC set to go out. Let me see if I can isolate why, no exceptions are being thrown or anything >.>
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarkGbe:
standard task in 3.2.0. Currently a bit tied up at work but ill try to do this when i get a chance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Not needed, thanks though. I can recreate it here so that's helpful :) Thanks for the info.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarkGbe:
ah ok, great. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Ok, I believe I have it sorted out. The activity was exiting when it should not have and was unregistering the broadcast receiver when this occured, causing the updated wifi state to never trigger a restart in processing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Anyone want to test?

You'll have to install the new trial version, so use Titanium Backup to back up your current verison (Data) so you can restore it when you switch back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarkGbe:
i'm in.

excellent work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
PM me your email address please.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarkGbe:
Just did a quick test with the trail version and no issues with my car tag now. I'll report back if i see any other issues.

Thanks for your work.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leranp:
It is possible to add a "lock screen" option?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Lock screen access is a bit restricted. It can be enabled/disabled if you are using slide to unlock, but if you have pin or pattern it cannot be disabled by an application (maybe with SecureSettings, but that's restricted to system apps).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leranp:
I have the slide to unlock :-D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leranp:
Can you please add a backup option to the app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Yeah, that's on the list.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarkGbe:
New version working well. Zero issues. Thanks for the quick update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barry3d:
Thanks for the update!

It would be nice if the Wifi passsword is stored encrypted/hashed on tags. Right now it's possible to read the passcode with NXP Taginfo.

Regards,

Barry
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Barry,

Yeah, the passcode is plain text. The problem w/encryption is that it will generally make the text longer to have it properly salted and hashed and size is already a concern when writing tags. I'll tack it on the list though as something to evaluate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leranp:
with the new update Launching the "Play Music" app i not happens

:-\

do you need any catlog?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
The class just needs to be set separately. This is fixed for the next release. A small release for a couple of small bugs will go.out early next week.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leranp:
o.k thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barry3d:
I understand. Maybe it's possible to make encryption an option? I use some tags to connect to my WiFi only, so space is'nt really an issue and I like to keep my Wifi key secret.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Sure, it's something I can toss on the list for discussion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leranp:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strongergravity:
I would love to be able to set the screen timeout using this app. I hate to have Tasker just for that.

otherwise, Love the App!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
That's on the list of things to add.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aureliusmaximus:
Looking to buy some NFC tags. Any readers here from Europe? Where did you order yours? Or otherwise: which one would you recommend (with reasonable shipping costs)?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Take a look here: http://www.jwksoftware.com/nfc-tags

Tagage is based in Finland, rapidnfc is based in the UK, nfczone is based in Denmark.

I'd recommend any of those if you are looking for a European based provider.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] manekineko:
Might be a nice feature addition to add the ability to manually launch or test a saved tag.

I hate it when I've stepped out of the house and realize I forgot to hit my Switch Tag. Then I need to laboriously manually do each of the things the tag would have done, plus my tag state is now out of sync and the next time I use the tag I need to tap it twice.

Plus this could be handy when building a new tag for testing purposes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] randpost:
I know this is an NFC task launcher thread, but I was wondering:

Is it possible to set up tasker and Task Launcher to not only open google music (play music), but to automatically shuffle all?

Clicking on settings, then clicking on shuffle all ruins my dreams of full car automation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
It may or may not be possible, depending on whether or not the music app accepts extra data on the intent to start it and if it does if it accepts that as an option. I'd need to look at the code for the music player (if it's available, unsure there as it's not part of the standard rom).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myplague:
I got the app last week and I love it so far, but I was wondering if you could add an option to perform an action only between a certain time. For example I have an NFC tag on my dock which launches my alarm app. Having the time option I could set it that the alarm app will only launch after 12am and before 10am.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] randpost:
I hear yeah. I hope its possible, but its not a deal breaker by any means. Basically, I have to click twice when I get in my car and no clicks when I get out. I must be getting lazy trying to get rid of 2 clicks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jeffrey8891:
i think it would be great that you can make it when user scan the tag, the phones make a call to a specific person, in which the user can place the tag on top of the table to make a speed dial ... just my humble idea =)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlackHoleSlam:
Is their any data toggle option in the future tried reading through a few pages didn't see anything. Thanks

by me, for me and I love you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] randpost:
If you use tasker with nfc launcher, you can get toggles for just about any setting including GPS, data, and LTE
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Tasker hasn't done GPS for a while - the loophole to access that setting was closed. Tasker + Secure Settings can do this though.

GPS and Mobile data are being added in the next major release (non-bugfix) - you'll need to make the app a system app though to get access to the Secure Settings in which these preferences are stored.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] randpost:
to keep my post short I left out the secure settings plugin, since tasker tells you to install the plugin when you try to enable or disable gps anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aureliusmaximus:
Thanks! Sorry to trouble, but which different tags would you recommend as a 'teaser' i.e. to try out NFC and NFC Task Launcher?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Oliver84:
It would be nice to be able to do it with just one app though. I really don't like having multiple apps doing something that can be handled by one app. I wish Tasker would integrate NFC into it, that would be amazing...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Mobile data and GPS are completed for the next release. The app will allow you to move it to system as well if you select those options. Root required of course.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Ntag are tops for rf performance. Anything with 144 bytes+ should be fine though. I don't recommended small Ultralight c tags with the gnex though due to poor rf .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ygvuhb:
i instilled opera mobile

save a url in the nfc tag

but when the phone read the nfc tag and auto open opera

opera only read http://u/

stock browser have not this problem

i only have problem when use select tag type->New url write url into the nfc, it will auto open opera with http://u/

if i use select tag type->new task->add action->launch applications->URL to write the url

the phone will not auto open opera

it show "Complete action using" , then i open opera , it can open the correct url

don't know why
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Make sure the stock browser is the default browser?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ygvuhb:
hi i try to uninstall and reinstall opera, but same problem

i only have problem when use select tag type->New url write url into the nfc, it will auto open opera with http://u/

if i use select tag type->new task->add action->launch applications->URL to write the url

the phone will not auto open opera

it show "Complete action using" , then i choose opera , it can open the correct url
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
The first scenario I don't have any control over - the URL is written to the tag. When the tag is read the built in Tags app will grab it and pass the data as it sees fit. This is the standard smart poster format. Out of curiosity what is the URL? It might be some weird encoding issue.

In the second scenario the same URL is encoded to the tag, however it's passed in to NFC Task Launcher. I then construct the proper intent for viewing that URL and dispatch it to the system. Since there are multiple apps registered to receive that intent you get the chooser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ygvuhb:
i see,

for the 1st case, any url cause same problem in opera

even i use Dolphin Browser HD->setting->set as Default Browser as Dolphin Browser HD

the phone still auto open opera and http://u/

so it is a bug in opera, right??

for the 2nd case, if other's phone have not install NFC task launcher, they cannot read the url, right??

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Yes

Yes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ygvuhb:
thanks

i will report this bug to opera
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Speed-Star:
Hi. Is there an easy way, to undo the action of nfc task launcher beeing a system app? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Adb shell or terminal emulator. Move from /system/app to /data/app

Titanium backup automates this as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leranp:
threre is a problem with the new update

if i am adding a "disable gps" and Switch Tag the mobile data is turning off

the only time the mobile data is stay on is when the tag is "enable gps"

You're right, sorry about that. That's left in from testing. There's an update going out today to fix that.

Hi.

I keep having troubles with the very last version (and maybe the previous one), and I didn't have any single problem before.

I use nfc task to put my phone in night mode (sync off, wifi off, volume down and data off using a shortcut application launched by nfc) and i wake up the phone using the same tag (thus with a profile).

So since the update, when i'm in night mode but i still want to use internet, I sometimes turn on the wifi, and the phone freeze telling me that nfc task launcher is not responding. I thus can wait (which work) or kill (which also work)

And what happened to me one time was that after waking up the phone with the tag, I somehow touch the return button of my gnexus (to get out of gmail i've juste open) and all the night profile was activated by itself (1m away from the tag).

Otherwise it's just a perfect app that i can't live without. :)

Oh and i'm on a Galaxy nexus full stock 4.0.4
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Please hit report when this happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] st1g:
Hi.

I've done a report, 2 times. Because both problem happened just this day.

I've first try to activate the wifi when in night mode and nfc task crashed, and kept the phone busy (the soft key are stuck like if they were presse constantly).

And when i woke up the phone with the tag (day mode profile on the same tag) if i open an application in the next few seconds and then click on the back softkey, it go back toi the night mode.

Onetime nfc task crashed during the process, and i've send a report.

But i've been able to do this again without it crashing. I've noticed that it happen when i open an app just after using a tag and not if i wait a few more seconds

Maybe it is related with the delay set up in nfc task launcher to avoid unwanted tagging (i've set it up at 10seconds.)

Thanks for your time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Thanks,

I don't see any new reports. What was the date on the report, today? Can you stick some text on it when you hit report (xda username is fine) so I can identify it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] st1g:
Well i think i've donne the report the 14th at around 10pm paris local time

I've put a description of the problem, using kind of the same words as in the message above. But i Will do it again, using the xda name.

Thank you very much
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] st1g:
Hi.

I've just done 2 report just now. 16/06/12 at 6:30pm Paris local time (GMT+2).

There may be one more report but I'm not sure if it this one was sent properly, because I was in night mode so no data whatsoever. I've thus done this again while activating the "day mode" and not the "night mode".

Here are the screenshots of the reports beeing sent.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
I got them, thanks.

So they are ANR's. Any chance you can enable debugging and send a log after it happens?

Depending on the results of that I have a test build ready, or one that I can add additional modifications to if you don't mind testing. I assume you can re-create this pretty easily?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] st1g:
Hi.

I've sent 2 debugging log with debugging mode activated from inside your app.

Hope this is what you wanted.

Indeed, I know how to do it again. I'm by the way surprised that it is so easy to do, and that it didn't happen to anyone else.

I'm starting to wonder if it not coming from my phone or my installation.

Anyhow, I can test everything you think is needed.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Great, thanks. I'll take a look on Monday and get in touch.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] st1g:
OK thank you.

I've actually send one more log now, because the other problem happened just now. Indeed, I know how to do the crashing thing, but this one is more random.

What is happening this time is that a profile (with several actions, i.e. my night mode) is activated by itself, far away from any tag. And, It seems to happen a few seconds after actually tagging my "day mode".

Hope this will help

Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dusturm:
So I am having some issues trying to make a FourSquare check in tag for my complex and place of business.

I found some info on the net how to do it but those all had the old version of the app. I got the venue id for the places I want to make a tag for and input the city (first pick).

Then I click the search icon and get no results (2nd pic).

If I hit cancel, I can write a tag. When I scan the tag, the toast message pops up (3rd pic).

What is the proper procedure to make a FourSquare tag?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Search on your venue name and leave the location blank if you are near it (it uses GPS coordinates then).

Otherwise I am going to add the ability to manually set the venue ID again in the near future. It was removed in favor of the search as it's a really long alphanumeric string and people had no idea what it was. However for densely populated areas it's a useful thing to have (as the search API is limited in the number of results returned).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dusturm:
I have searched for the venues and the app just sits at searching.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
What's the venue name?

Does the progress dialog that shows searching never disappear?

Do you have location services enabled (network or GPS)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dusturm:
Venue is The Esplanade

The searching dialogue doesn't disappear.

All of my location services are enabled. Have tired on and off WiFi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Interesting. I can pull it up (just searching esplanade and las vegas, nv) but that's not helpful for you :)

Can you get any search results to populate?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dusturm:
So last night I flashed the build of AOKP build 38 found in this post...

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/28038-nf...r-locked-its-now-possible-update/#entry748431

I guess there was something wrong with FourSquare. I was able to search and find every location I wanted to make a tag for after flashing. Now I have a handful of tags to go and place around the community.

Thanks for the assistance Mr. krohnjw.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Good to hear it - searching by Venue ID should be in for the next version if you need it in the future.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirkStorck:
hi. Its really a great app. So fare the best I have used for NFC.

One thing I am missing is the possibility to copy one configuration of one tag to a new one. That would be great.

Thanks.

Send from my Omega ROM powered SGS3 :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Already on the list of possible additions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oo03sjw:
Killing an App

I have posted on Creative Ideas for NFC, but as I use this app I thought better to try here.

Is is possible to use the NFC Tags to kill and App?

For example, I have my car set up to switch off WiFi, turn on Bluetooth for Parrot car kit, and launch CoPilot. I then have my home Tag set up to switch on WiFi and switch off Bluetooth, is there a way to get it to kill CoPilot as well?

Many thanks for a great App and thanks for any advice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Not right now - That's something we can add in the future though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] limcheehow:
To have a tag used by multiple devices without installing the app

Hi,

I'm new to NFC and I recently bought a few tags to try. I was thinking of letting other users (e.g. friends who come over to my place) to tap on 1 tag to sign onto my WiFi. However, it actually brings them to the Play Store to install the app.

Is it possible for a task/action to be initiated without the NFC Task Launcher app actually being installed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
No - none of this stuff is standard android stuff (there's nothing to accomplish that).

However we made the app free last night so anyone can install it now :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgerbracht:
I'm also jumping on the band wagon and THANK YOU for the free application. Quick question-how do you made a sound play when you scan a tag? I know I can change volumes and notification tones, but I want a certain sound to play. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Under preferences you can pick any notification sound.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgerbracht:
OK, thanks, I thought that meant the notification sound would be changed for future notifications, not actually play a sound.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Oh, sorry - I think I misunderstood. If you want to add a sound to a tag that's not currently supported :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgerbracht:
Bah! Uninstall!

Lol, yeah right. Oh well, maybe it can be done some day. I guess tasker people can do it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirkStorck:
I possibility to add shortcuts and not only starting apps would be great if that would be possible. So for example if I use Apex Launcher whitch has a short to display or hide the notification bar would be great.

If I would have a tag for car mode I could hide the notificationbar and if use another tag I could show it again :)

Thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgerbracht:
May have found a bug with jelly bean. In my profile, I set ring volume to max but in actuality it toggles to about mid range. Thought I'd mention this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
It's working fine for me. Max stream volume is 7 - I set the tag to do max, it sets the value to 7. Can you enable debugging in the app and then either send me the log or take a look at it to see what it's setting the stream to?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgerbracht:
It is set to phone ringtone volume level 7 when i created the profile. I can see if I can get the debugging log. Perhaps the volume toggle that shows right after I scan the tag is my notification volume? I don't think so as I went to settings and volumes and saw ringer wasn't max. Let me see about that log.

Edit- clicked the switch tag on and off a couple times and sent the log. Hope I collected what you needed. Indeed, the profile says max volume but when actually activated, there are two more "notches" to the right that can be slid on the volume toggle.

+++ Edit 2 +++

Learned you can't program different volume level for notifications and ring tones. Just set one volume for both.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TeeJayEss:
Is there any way to set this up so that a configuration is set only when a particular tag is in range?

For example, I have a mount in my car, and so the logical thing would be to put a tag on it so when I slide my phone in, it activates a car profile (Bluetooth, loud volume, etc). When I slide the phone out, ideally it'd revert to an 'outside' profile.

Currently, if I put the tag where the phone sits, it keeps re-reading it and switching profiles back and forth, so I have to put the tag near the phone and swipe it before and after putting the phone in the mount. Not ideal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
No. This is mainly due to the fact that 1.) There is no intent broadcast when a tag is lost (it is logged though). If you resorted to log file reading you also have the issue that the tag is "lost" any time the nfc service is off (screen turns off). To try to get around that you could track last state and try to re-read the tag when the nfc service comes back on, but given how the passive tags I've tested work this would at best work most of the time and would yield false positives. If you have a tag in your dock you can enable rate limiting to stop it from being re-executed within a set time period.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dcmtnbkr:
Just downloaded the latest version of NFC Task Launcher and Tasker, I setup a tag to run a tasker task (toggle bluetooth and wifi, keep screen on and so on). When i run the task within tasker it works fine, but scanning the tag does nothing. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
Was Tasker installed prior to NFC Task Launcher? All NFC Task Launcher is dispatch an intent to Tasker with the Task name (via the class provided by Tasker).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dcmtnbkr:
That did the trick, thanks for the help!
