[DEV] Tasker 5.8.5 - Dark Mode - Rolling out for everyone
Today's release is all about making Tasker compatible with Dark Mode, so we have 3 new major additions to do that!
If you don't want to wait for it to be available on Google Play you can get it directly here.
Dark Mode Action
Tasker can change toggle Dark Mode on your phone!
Since this is Tasker this can be used to automate Dark Mode in a lot of situations, like make turn on automatically on sunset, at a given time or even when your phone detects that the light level around you is low.
Check it out in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpEIBgGLFNA
Import a project that gives you all these options here: https://taskernet.com/shares/?user=AS35m8ne7oO4s%2BaDx%2FwlzjdFTfVMWstg1ay5AkpiNdrLoSXEZdFfw1IpXiyJCVLNW0yn&id=Project%3ADark+Mode
This action works reliably on Android 10 but only works on some Android 8 or 9 devices, so please be aware of that.
Dark Mode State
Tasker can now also react to Dark Mode being changed on your device.
This allows you to, for example, change your home screen wallpaper to a darker one when dark mode is enabled.
Check it out in action here: https://i.imgur.com/1GKeSCv.gif
In-App Dark Mode
Tasker itself now has an option to make its own theme match the theme on your phone. So if dark mode is enabled on your phone it will be in Tasker as well!
Check it out in action here: https://i.imgur.com/95vIZto.gif
Full Changelog
Here's the full changelog for this release which can also be found here.
- Added Dark Mode action for Android 8+ (only works reliably on Android 10+)
- Added automatic Light/Dark mode for the Tasker app appearance itself
- Warn users that Auto theme mode only works on Android 8+
- Added Dark Mode State (Android 8+)
- Always show option to backup to Google Drive instead of giving the option to not be reminded again
- Fixed Go Home action not being able to go to a page higher than 20
- Let users know that on Android 10 Tasker always needs the permission to draw over other apps.
As always, let me know if there are any issues! :)

[HOW-TO] Set Live Wallpaper with Tasker (Root only)
Very Important
You need this version of Tasker for this to work. The normal version lacks a permission that this project needs.
Changing the Live Wallpaper
Some people were wondering if it's possible to link the new Dark Mode state with a change of the live wallpaper on your phone. Well, turns out it is! :)
Check out the demo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdLngMMg9yk
You can import the project here: https://taskernet.com/shares/?user=AS35m8ne7oO4s%2BaDx%2FwlzjdFTfVMWstg1ay5AkpiNdrLoSXEZdFfw1IpXiyJCVLNW0yn&id=Project%3ALive+Wallpaper

[DEV] Awesome ways to support Tasker development
Hi everyone! Tasker developer here!😊
Before I leave for the weekend I just wanted to let everyone know of some cool ways you can support Tasker development so that I can continue developing it for many years to come.
Tasker is a one-time payment app, which means that once you pay the initial $3 you get lifetime updates for free. This is not a very sustainable business model for developers, so here's a few ways to help out.
Free: rate Tasker 5 ⭐️ on Google Play
Even if you rated Tasker before, it's always good to rate again because Google now makes recent reviews count more than old ones.
Good Google Play ratings really help an app out. It gives users confidence when installing an app and thus drives up the install rate.
If you like Tasker, it would be great if you could rate it 5 ⭐️ on Google Play to help Tasker out! :) Do it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
Google Play Pass (US only)
Google have just announced Google Play Pass this week and Tasker is a part of it! Play Pass gives you access to hundreds of apps and games for $2 a month right now.
Even if you already bought Tasker, signing up for Google Play Pass is a good way of helping out because if you use Tasker a lot, I'll get a bigger percentage of Play Pass earnings.
So, if you feel like trying out all the games and apps on Play Pass, go ahead knowing that you're also helping Tasker out. :)
More info here: https://play.google.com/about/play-pass/
Patreon
Patreon is a cool website where you can support your favorite creators.
It's the home of my Live Creations video series and also where I post some sneak peeks allowing patrons to try out new features before everyone else.
For example just today I allowed my patrons to check out my attempt at bringing back Clipboard support on Android 10 here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/30291599
PayPal
If you don't like subscriptions you can always send something my way via PayPal here: https://paypal.me/joaoapps 😊
I really, really, REALLY appreciate any help you can give. :) Tasker is a pretty hard app to maintain and give support to, so any help is very welcome.
Thank you for reading and have a great weekend! ❤️

[HOW-TO] Protip: use emojis for your important profiles, disable notification for the rest
If you quickly want to be able to take a glance at your Tasker notification and see what's active at the moment, use emojis. It's great! :)
Check out this example:
https://i.imgur.com/WXE5YqN.png
I work at home, so right now it's daytime (☀️), I'm working (💼) and I'm home (🏠) .
It's super useful to just take a look at the notification and see what stuff it's detecting to see if everything's working like I want it.
So, my tip is, create profiles for your most basic and important states like these and give those profiles emoji names. Then make the rest of the profiles not appear in the notification:
- long click profile
- settings on the top left
- disable Show In Notification
That'll clean up your Tasker notification real nicely :)

[DEV] Tasker 5.9.beta.2 - Fixed clipboard on Android 10, new Set Assistant action, fixed Media Button state and more!
Time for a new beta! :D
Sign up for the beta here: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
If Google Play is taking to long, get the APK directly here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7j58vurja7vm4hj/Tasker.28.apk?dl=0
Fixed Clipboard Monitoring On Android 10
I was able to implement a workaround that allows Clipboard monitoring to work as usual again on Android 10. Let me know how it works for you!
New Set Assistant Action
Tasker now allows you to set which app is the assistant on your phone!
This allows you to have a per-app assistant for example like in this demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTLfQfeZRNQ
In this example:
- if I'm reading reddit squeezing my phone will toggle full screen mode.
- If I'm in the YouTube app squeezing my phone will set the volume to 1 instantly to avoid those awkward moments when you play a video at full blast at the wrong time
- If I'm in any other app the normal Google Assistant will show up
Of course this is Tasker so you can make it do whatever you want in any app you want :)
Fixed Media Button State
On Android 8+ Tasker should now always capture the Media Buttons and let you do stuff with them.
Check out this demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1IEBitxqYw
Here I've setup Tasker in a way that different number of clicks on the play button will do different actions:
- 1 click will toggle pause
- 2 clicks will skip to the next track
- 3 clicks will skip to the previous track
- 4 clicks will allow you to play media in a different app by saying its name out loud
Again, you can add as many profiles as you want to handle any amount of clicks and do any action you want. :)
Import the project for this example here.
Restore Settings Off By Default
When you create a new profile the Restore Settings option will now be disabled by default. This option has cause much confusion in the past so lets hope this is the end of it :).
Full Changelog
- Fixed Media Button state on Android 8+. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1IEBitxqYw
- Added Set Assistant action: set your phone's assistant (Google, AutoVoice, Tasker, etc). Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTLfQfeZRNQ
- Fixed Clipboard related features on Android 10
- Made Tasker always show up as an assistant choice and then, when used as an assistant, give user instructions on how to use
- Restore Settings is now disabled by default when creating a new profile
- Changed Auto theme to Black (instead of dark) when system ui Dark Mode is enabled
- Fixed Input Method Select action on Android 10
- Fixed illegible error message when importing stuff from Taskernet that needs a newer version of Tasker
- Fixed asking for draw over other apps permission when necessary
- Fixed allowing phone to go to sleep when dark mode is enabled while Android Auto is running
- Allow scenes to shown with any vertical offset if user enters value manually
- Fixed crash sometimes when destroying a scene with a map element
- Fixed bug where if you imported a profile sometimes another disabled profile would be enabled
- Ask for notification access permission when enabling the Use Notification If Available option in the Media Control action
- Added reminder that Pixel users can squeeze their phones to call Tasker as an assistant
- Added Assistant Settings in Tasker > Menu > More > Android Settings
- Made Cell Near condition work more reliably
- Made background service detection work on more devices
- Made NFC action work more reliably
- Small crash fixes
Enjoy and let me know how it works! :)
