[DEV] Tasker 5.8.beta.6 - Disable Camera, Get Location 2, Pick Location and more!
A new beta is here!
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

Disable Camera
You can now disable/enable the camera on your phone for all the apps on it. For example, you could create a quick setting tile to toggle camera disabling like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcnc9R59k98

Get Location 2 (Tentative Name)
Getting your location is Tasker is often a slow process, gives you limited data and revolves around confusing global variables.

Get Location 2 (please let me know if you have a more adequate name for it :P) aims to fix all that!
- It uses Google's Fused Location Provider to provide almost instant location data
- It returns a lot of data including location, accuracy, speed, altitude, bearing and accuracy for all of those and even a link to Google Maps with the gotten location!
- It gives you all of this data in local variables, so no more confusion with that

On top of that it allows you to specify restrictions on Location getting! For example you could get your location only:
- if a certain location accuracy is achieved (ie. accuracy is higher than 20 meters)
- a minimum or maximum speed is reached
- a minimum or maximum altitude is reached
- you are near a certain location

So,let's say you want to send your accurate location to someone. Simply set it to get the location with a minimum of 10 meters accuracy and it'll wait for it to be available and return it to you!

Hopefully this can replace Get Location for all situations where you want to get the current location and don't want to worry about location monitoring over time.

Pick Location
You now have an action that allows you to pick your location on a map and then allows you to use that location however you want! Check out this demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKchu0Qx6u4

Locations Distance
The Tasker Functions action now lets you calculate the distance in meters between 2 locations. Can be cool to use with the new previously mentioned actions! :)

Full Changelog
- Added "Disable Camera" action that allows you to disable/enable camera for all apps
- Added "Get Location 2" action that allows you to get the current location with some restrictions applied like minimum accuracy, speed, altitude and nearby location

- Warn users without Significant Motion sensor that the can't use the Significant Motion Event
- Fixed issue where checking an alarm in a task that reacts to the Alarm changed event could cause an infinite loop

- Fixed Google Maps crash in kid apps

#warning #TaskerDev
AutoVoice on Google Assistant has been taken down
EDIT - Temporary Workaround: https://forum.joaoapps.com/index.php?resources/integrate-google-assistant-with-tasker-using-join-ifttt.206/

So a few days ago I tried to get a new version of the AutoVoice action for the Google Assistant approved. It's normally a complicated process so I was kinda expecting to be rejected and I was. Every time I try to update there are new issues to resolve and I was expecting this time to be the same.

To clarify, being rejected an update is not a big issue. The public version will continue working as before.

This is what Google sent me for that update request:
https://i.imgur.com/SSa0Unz.png

Ok, no problem. There's some issues to figure out, I'll get back to it later.
Then today I got this:
https://i.imgur.com/gT8rsYR.png

What? So it was not ok, but suddenly it was ok. Weird, but ok...
Then after about 10 minutes I got this:
https://i.imgur.com/t7mOhuV.png

Wow! So they approved a version that clearly had some issues in their opinion just to take a perfectly working version down a few minutes later because it contained some unapproved stuff THAT THEY HAD JUST APPROVED THEMSELVES!
Also, the issue they mention is just with the description. They even suggest the description I should use.

The current description I have is the following:
If you install the AutoVoice Android app and Tasker you'll be able to do anything you want with your Google Assistant.
Suddenly there's no more stuff that it doesn't understand because you can just make it understand anything you want. :)
Check this video for some examples of how it can work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFfOfCxukCs

The description they suggest is this one:
AutoVoice Action works along with the AutoVoice Android app. You'll be able to send commands from the AutoVoice Action to the AutoVoice Android App to perform several types of actions. Check this video for some examples of how it can work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFfOfCxukCs

Is this really a good reason to take the whole action down? Was it really such a huge issue that the action couldn't be up until the description was changed?

I already contacted their support but it says

We're currently receiving a high volume of support requests. If you're sending a support request, please expect delays in our response.

so I don't expect a swift response.

In the meantime if you try to use AutoVoice on Google Assistant you get this:

https://i.imgur.com/8N8exAk.png

"AutoVoice is no longer available".

This is both on an Android device and on Google Home.

I now expect 1 star app reviews galore while this issue is not resolved. Let's hope something can be done about this.

Just wanted to fill you in on the situation!

#project #TaskerClockScreensaver
DESCRIPTION
Now you can have your own screensaver, the original Android style (clock app). But without having to depend on that app.

Notes:
- As the project calculates the position of the clock randomly on each pass taking into account the size of the main scene (TCS - Clock), you must resize it (including the 'Top Layer' element), according to the available dimensions on your device.
- If you prefer to continue using the original Android screensaver, you can use this task. (requires root)
- If you don't have virtual buttons (navbar) on screen, you can disable all optional actions from 'Toggle Status' and 'Update Time' tasks.
- Single tap on the screen to close it.
