[HOW-TO] Link Media Volume to Ringer Volume
This is a simple one but I think it's worth to share because some people might not be aware how to calculate the ringer volume based on the media volume :)

Basically:
- Create a profile to monitor the %VOLM variable
- in the task calculate the corresponding ringer volume with the Rule of Three
- Set the ringer volume to the calculated value.

AutoVoice on Google Assistant Update - It's up again but only English for now
First of all, thank you very much for the tremendous support everyone showed for the situation. :) It's great to know that there are people out there willing to help me out in a situation like this! All your 5 star ratings really helped mitigate the situation!

Just wanted to let everyone know that thankfully AutoVoice on Google Assistant is now back! Unfortunately only the English language is up for now. I'm still working on the other languages.

Thank you very much for your patience and hope this gets resolved soon!

#profile #AppsKeepScreenOn
DESCRIPTION
It will allow the app(s) to be fully usable without the interruption of the Android's screen timeout.

How to know real max value for my device?
(+ > Settings > Custom Setting')
1. Click on the magnifying glass icon, and select 'Find'. Press 'home' button.
2. Go to the appropriate Android setting on your device, and change the screen timeout to 'never' or similar.
3. Come back to Tasker and click again on the previous icon. If any changes were detected, they will appear on the screen.

Notes:
- To customize the app(s) you want to use, edit the 'AKSOx - Apps' profile.
- To prevent Android from overwriting max value to 10' (or the maximum for the device), a root variant is included. Which will allow to set the real max value to not turn the screen off (if available). Just edit A3 from 'AKSOB - Enable' task, writing the correct value for your device in the 'Value' field.

#task #OpenAppPermissionsPageInBackground
DESCRIPTION
This little task will allow you to jump directly to the permissions page of the desired app.

I will not give an example of use because they are infinite. Everything is left to your imagination of where and how to apply it.

Notes:
- As 'Action.MANAGE_APP_PERMISSIONS' intent is protected (GRANT_REVOKE_PERMISSIONS is not available for third-party apps), root is needed.

#profile #AdGuardToggler
DESCRIPTION
Enable/disable the AdGuard service in the background. You can also apply it to your projects so that it works on demand.

Notes:
- A separate task (AGT - API Library) is included where you will find the rest of all the available official intents with more actions.
- You can go here to know how to enable the dedicated API to be used within Tasker. You will also find some useful information about intent usage.

- If intents fail to be sent to the app using the default password, try generating a custom one.

[DEV] Tasker 5.9.beta.8 - The Game Changer
I'm sooooo excited for this one!! 💥😁💥
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

Opening up a world of events/states with the "Logcat Entry" Event
Tasker now has the ability to react to the Logcat on your device! 😎 Check out how it works in this demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GSE1q6q_Q4
If you're not familiar with it, Logcat is a place where Android and all its apps put logs of stuff that's happening in the apps and now Tasker can react to it!

Just to give you a few examples of stuff that was done with it in the short time I tried it:
- Augment Pixel 4's motion gestures
- Do different stuff for each finger when unlocking the device
- React to snoozing an alarm
- Do different stuff for when you unlock your device with your finger or with a pattern
- React to the Back button being held for 1 second in any app
- React to the software keyboard being shown/hidden
- Do different actions on Samsung devices depending on if the power button was double clicked or the Bixby button was pressed

A whole new world of events is there ripe for the picking! Since I've implemented I just kept coming up with more and more possible events that Tasker can now react to and more often than not there's something in the Logcat that will do it!
I'm super excited to see what the community comes up with! I'm sure there's A LOT of stuff in there that you can react to that I haven't thought of yet!
Would love to know what you can come up with! :)

Replacing AutoShortcut with the new "Shortcut" action
I really should stop shooting myself in the foot. 😝 After implementing stuff from AutoLocation and AutoAlarm in Tasker itself, AutoShortcut can now probably be deprecated as well with the new action.
Here's a demo of it working: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcZWcnQfzDM
Just like AutoShortcut it allows you to launch an Android shortcut from Tasker!
You also get a new related Tasker Function called ShortcutDialog() that allows you to select a shortcut from Tasker so that it can later be used with the new Shortcut action.

Previewing Variables
When you're in the Variable Select list in Tasker you'll get the option to long click a variable to know its value.
Check out the demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYR9wFktWfI

Getting the best location possible
I've added an option in the Get Location v2 action that allows you to get the last gotten location even if the action times out.

For example, let's say you want to get your location with an accuracy of 10 meters but your phone can only bring that down to 15 meters. With this new option the action will still time out but you'll get that 15-meter-accuracy location in your task so that you can decide if you still want to use it or not.

Long Standing Bugs Fixed
I've fixed 2 very old bugs:
- sometimes a task would hang if another task was running at the same time and a wait action was running there
- when you monitored the value of %LIGHT and the light level sank to 0, %LIGHT would never actually be 0 but would remain in the value previous to 0

I'm happy to say that these are both fixed now! :)

Full Changelog
- Added "Logcat Entry" event which allows you to react to any logcat on your Android system
- Added "Shortcut" action which allows you to open an Android shortcut from Tasker
- Added "ShortcutDialog()" function in "Tasker Functions" action that allows you to pick a shortcut so that you can run it later
- Added option in "Get Location v2" to get last available location if action times out. This way you can at least still get a decent location even if it doesn't match your criteria
- Added ability to long click a variable in the Variable select list to show its value
- Added ability to specify a directory as the output for a HTTP Request action so that the file name is automatically recognized and set when downloaded
- Added %http_file_output variable as output in the HTTP Request action so that you can act on the downloaded file more easily when the file name is automatically found by Tasker
- Changed "Get Location 2" name to "Get Location v2"
- Changed all prefixes for the variables from "Get Location v2" to "gl" instead of "cl"
- Changed some variable names for both "Get Location v2" and "Pick Location"
- Changed some messages that show up as toasts into dialogs so that people that block Tasker notifications still see them.
- Fixed long-standing bug (from back when I wasn't the developer) that would sometimes hang a task if another task had a wait action running
- Fixed long-standing bug (from back when I wasn't the developer) where if you monitored the value of %LIGHT and the light level sank to 0, %LIGHT would never actually be 0 but would remain in the value previous to 0.
- Fixed some issues where changes in Light could adversely make some profiles stop working
- Allow scenes to manually specify horizontal offsets higher than normally supported
- Added Custom Settings for the Pixel 4
- Changed Cell Near history to 24 hours instead of 6
- Fixed bug where importing a project with disabled profiles would sometimes enable them
- Fixed HTTP Request action when downloading a file to a folder that doesn't exist. Now creates needed folders automatically.
- Made some events trigger faster with less use of resources
