Hi! I'm trying to connect to a known WiFi network using Tasker intents and having trouble. Up until recently I've used the"WiFi Connect" plugin but it doesn't work after my latest system update. I'm using a rooted Huawei P20 Pro.

After reading for the last few hours I've determined what I want to do is possible but most solutions seem like overkill. I'm connecting to a known network so do not need to scan WiFi or use ifconfig, simply entering the SSID should work. Here's what I have so far:

ACTION: android.intent.action.CONNECT_TO_WIFI

DATA: -e ssid (my SSID)

PACKAGE: com.google.wifisetup/.WifiSetupService

CLASS: WifiSetupService.Connect

TARGET: Activity

I've obviously got something wrong here as it doesn't work. Any help is appreciated!

How to send intent FLAG_DISABLE_KEYGUARD
[Android Apps and Games] baudy2:
Hello everyone!

I have a weird problem here. I am not 100% new in Tasker and already using it for almost 5 years automating various things.

I had a task which were automating the emailing the newly downloaded e-book to my Kindle account. Recently Amazon started to send back an email where there is a button in the middle to confirm manually that this book was sent by you.

Now, to the question - is it possible to open the received email with particular sender or subject on the screen and then, using AutoInput plug-in to click this button? Can I open an email using intent or by any other mean?

Forgot to mention, I am using Gmail and Aquamail.

Thank you in advance,

Kind regards,
[Android Apps and Games] ktmom:
I don't use AquaMail, but I thought it has a Tasker plugin.

Regardless, you could use AutoNotification to capture the email notification for the Amazon email. When you have a existing notification for this particular email, that's a good time to setup the profile. AutoNotification has an easy setup option that will help you configure this.

Then AutoInput, also has an easy setup option which should make configuring the task easier.
[Android Apps and Games] baudy2:
Thank you for your reply, but all this I know perfectly well.

My question was - how to open received email from Tasker?

Regards,
[Android Apps and Games] ktmom:
Use AutoInput
[Android Apps and Games] baudy2:
I am sorry, I did not get you. Are you recommending me to use AutoInput to open Gmail message?
[Android Apps and Games] ktmom:
First I suggested exploring the aquamail integration. Failing that, AutoInput can be setup to open the email by clicking on the notification.

Edit: I keep saying AutoInput, but really an AutoNotification action is easier. The correct email notification gets intercepted with AutoNotification, then the task has an AutoNotification action that executes on the %antouchaction.
[Android Apps and Games] baudy2:
Thank you for the response, but can you, please, precise how can I open the specific RECEIVED email using AutoInput?

Have no idea how to make it.

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] ktmom:
Here is a profile you can import that performs a demonstration.

To trigger, send an email to your gmail account with the subject;

This is just a test

Place content in the body of the email that starts with;

This is the body of the email.

It is preferable to send the email from an account other than gmail, or to send the email on a different device. This relies on the notification from gmail which may not display if the app is open.

Alternatively, you can use Intent for Browsing a particular URL. It does the same thing, but one extra thing you can specify is the particular browser which you want to use to open the URL.

Hi. Thanks for all the info. I'm struggling a bit with what im trying to do. Essentially I want to disable s finder from launching when I long press menu button on my note3. Ive already got it to launch google now from nova prime gestures. However it still launches s finder.

I think tasker may be able to help with this. Any suggestions how I can achieve this?
[Android Apps and Games] A_Str8:
I'm not familiar with changes that Samsung adds to devices, but Tasker wouldn't be able to remove a default action from a hardware button. You might have to do something involving root access and/or a mod

You could achieve a workaround by having Tasker kill the S Finder app. I dunno if you're rooted, but killing apps from Tasker works better with root.
[Android Apps and Games] daz_2000:
Thanks. Not rooted. But hoping I could kill the app like you suggest. The app does not display in the list of apps. Anyway I could do this?

Tasker Intents for gtasks

I have been trying for almost 3 days now to work out how to create a tasker action to add a new task to gtasks, specifying text, list, and duedate.

gtasks api documentation:

https://sites.google.com/site/gtasks4android/api

relevant bit:

4. New Task
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSERT);
intent.setDataAndType(ContentUris.withAppendedId("content://org.dayup.gtask.data/tasks", task_list_id), "vnd.android.cursor.item/dayup.gtask.task");
// If you pass task_list_id as -1, it will add to the default list directly.

Send Intent [
Action:android.intent.action.SEND
Cat:Default
Mime Type:text/plain
Data:
Extra:android.intent.extra.TEXT: MY TEST TEXT
Extra:
Package:org.dayup.gtask
Class:
Target:Activity ]

The above when launched with Gtasks opens the add task view with "MY TEST TEXT" pre entered.

now is there a way in which I could also specify a task list (whether by id or otherwise), and also a Duedate.

extra info:

a shortcut placed on the home screen to add a task to list ID 14 looks like so:

content://org.dayup.gtask.data/tasks/14#Intent;action=android.intent.action.INSERT;type=vnd.android.cursor.item/dayup.gtask.task;launchFlags=0x14000000;l.tasklist_id=14;S.userId="UserIDHere";end

also

a tasker intent as folows:

Send Intent [
Action:o
Cat:Default
Mime
Data:content://org.dayup.gtask.data/tasks/14#Intent;action=android.intent.action.INSERT;type=vnd.android.cursor.item/dayup.gtask.task;launchFlags=0x14000000;l.tasklist_id=14;S.userId="UserIDHere";end
Extra:android.intent.extra.TEXT: MY TEST TEXT
Extra:
Package:org.dayup.gtask
Class:
Target:Activity ]

also creates a new task,with MY "TEST TEXT" but not in list 14.

hope I have provided enough info for you guys to help.

thanks in advance

gravitybox intent to change navigation key color

I'm trying to use an intent sent from a task in tasker to change the navigation bar colors.

I got a response from the developer with the intent:

=====================================================

Intent: gravitybox.intent.action.ACTION_NAVBAR_CHANGED

Extra: navbarKeyColor (rgb as integer)

Make sure you provide correct value.

Navbar coloring must be enabled in navbar tweaks. Use at your own risk.

=====================================================

The trouble is, that it doesn't seem to want to work. The best I can do is get it to change the color to white, no matter what color I try to change it to. Then it freezes that way and I have to reboot the phone in order to change it again. I'm assuming there's something wrong with the way I'm entering the info.

navbarKeyColor:### or navbarKeyColor:(###) seems to be the closest to working.

for red (ff0000) I tried 16711680 and I also tried (ffff0000) 4294901760 red with the extra value for transparency. I've tried just about every combination of numbers, parenthesis, and colon and still nothing.

I'm using all of the newest versions of tasker, xposed, and gravitybox, on a rooted and unlocked dev edition moto x running 4.4 stock android.

REQ: Tasker intent to call Xprivacy export rules and import?

The developer of Xprivacy has added intents for exporting and importing of the xprivacy rules however no one seems to have successfully managed to call the intents from tasker.....the developer doesn't use tasker so there may even be a piece missing.

If any of you experts have time please review this and see if it's feasible to make this work. I'd love to have automated backups that get uploaded to the cloud...foldersync app would automatically handle the upload but currently exporting the rules is still a manual process.

Er.. Did you try changing it to Activity instead of broadcast receiver?

Certain changes through Xposed modules work only after restart. Did you try restarting it after sending the intent?

If you change it directly from the Gravity box module, does this color change happen in navigation bar?

I do not think it is possible with Tasker's Send Intent action. It does not return any values. May be you can use Autocontacts and Autoshare to achieve the result you want.
