#project #TaskerContentViewer
DESCRIPTION
As you know, Tasker can show us the total number of profiles, tasks and scenes that are imported into it. But what is the main problem from here? It simply shows us non-hidden profiles and tasks. But what about anonymous tasks, linked to profiles? And the tasks from scenes, categorized as anonymous?
So this project will help you to know the exact and total number of them, as them are.

This project includes an Initial Setup task that needs to be executed when it is imported from TaskerNet
(It can be deleted after imported)

Notes:
- Orange profiles and tasks are all non-anonymous, located in main Tasker UI.
- To make it work on unrooted devices, please, make sure that 'Local Auto-Backup Max Age' option, under Tasker's Preferences, is set to any value except: No Auto-Backups.

CHANGELOG
- Other: Progress bar width is now dynamically calculated based on available space.
- Other: Moved all UI settings to 'Setup (UI)' task.
- Other: Small changes.

#task #AndroidPieScreenBrightnessWorkaround
DESCRIPTION
As some users reported having problems with the Display Brightness action on Android Pie, on the latest Tasker v5.8.2 version, I have made a workaround task that may help these users.

You can track the issue on:
· Reddit (thread)
· tasker.helprace (ticket)

Notes:
- Not all people are experiencing the same situation. Some tells that is working fine, between correct and normal ranks (0-255). But others reports that Android is managing the brightness level far out of range, like: 0-1200.
- I have bundled all the tasks into a single project file, so import it as a project.

* The problem, in the end, was discarded by Joao, so there will be no other than to use this project to modify the brightness in those devices that present that abnormal functioning. Sorry.

This project includes an Initial Setup task that needs to be executed when it is imported from TaskerNet
(It can be deleted after imported)

Notes:
- Go here to learn more about how Android Pie now manages the screen brightness function.
- Not all people are experiencing the same situation. Some tells that is working fine, between correct and normal range (0-255). But others reports that Android is managing the brightness level far out of range, like: 0-1200.
- To make the Tasker to set 0 level correctly on some devices, you will have to grant the 'WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS' permission to Tasker. Or have root.
- To use the automated version (B), root will be required.

CREDITS

CHANGELOG
- New: Added a separate version for users that want to automate getting min and max values. (recommended only if values changes on every device boot, as reported by some users) (root needed)
- Other: All switched to Project type.
- Other: Added missing task labels (notes) to guide the user how to proceed.
- Other: minor changes.

[HOW_TO] Bixby - Make Tasker react to single, double and long press even with the screen off
You may probably know that Tasker can already react to pressing the Bixby button, but unfortunately that is limited to one type of click and the screen needs to be on and unlocked for it to work.

Fortunately we have Logcat access now and pressing the button brings up various interesting logs, even while the screen is off! :)

With this you can now react to the Bixby button while the screen is off :D

Check out this demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pacP0ztvZ_U

As you can see you can now do stuff with a single click, double click and even a long click of the button! :)

Import the project for this here: https://www.youtube.com/redirect?v=pacP0ztvZ_U&redir_token=93UjKxwH1a91GIMI7z_YLF2gB458MTU3MzU2Njk2NEAxNTczNDgwNTY0&event=video_description&q=https%3A%2F%2Ftaskernet.com%2Fshares%2F%3Fuser%3DAS35m8ne7oO4s%252BaDx%252FwlzjdFTfVMWstg1ay5AkpiNdrLoSXEZdFfw1IpXiyJCVLNW0yn%26id%3DProject%253ABixby%2BClicks

[DEV] Tasker 5.9.rc - Getting ready for public release
Here's another beta update. Hopefully it won't be long until this is ready for everyone to use! If you can, please let me know if there are any issues in the beta that weren't present in the normal version on Google Play.

Sign up for the beta here.

If you don't want to wait for the Google Play update, get it right away here.

You can also get the updated app factory here.

Mobile Data action with no root
You can now use the Mobile Data action with no root but it's important to note that on most devices it won't actually change the setting but simply update the Android UI of the setting.

Still I think it's important to let users use it without root.

This essentially makes it work the same as the Mobile Data option in the Secure Settings action in AutoTools.

App Factory Fixes
There was a major issue with App Factory apps where they couldn't perform non-HTTPS (simply HTTP) requests. I've now been able to fix it finally!

Other fixes include ability to use app icons for exported apps and being able to use the Pick Dialog action in the factory apps.

Full Changelog
- Made Mobile Data work with Secure Settings on non-rooted devices, warning the user that it may not work on all devices
- Made %LAPP variable available again
- Fix not being able to: use app icons, do non secure http requests and use the Pick location dialog for exported App Factory apps
- Made app factory apps always have the SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW permission if target API is 29 or above
- Madd app factory apps have location permissions if they use maps in scenes or the pick location dialog
- Added option "Use Motion Detection" to "Set Tasker Pref" action
- Redirect to english web page if help in other language is not available
- Fix not being able to accept the "Get Location" action if you checked "Continue Tracking"
- Fixed shortcuts using app icons which were appearing weird before
- Fix some issues with getting next alarm
- Fix some issues with logcat monitor in rare circumstances
- Fixed not being able to use 2 variables in Lat,Long field in the Open Map action
- Fixed showing variable value in variable select list in some cases
- Tip users that they should use the helper when setting up a Logcat Entry event
- Show a dialog giving users instructions on rooting a device when a root-only action is added
- Fixed small crashes

Enjoy! :)

Fingerprint unlock actions on Samsung devices - confirmation needed
Hi everyone! Does this work for everyone on Samsung devices?

https://taskernet.com/shares/?user=AS35m8ne7oO4s%2BaDx%2FwlzjdFTfVMWstg1ay5AkpiNdrLoSXEZdFfw1IpXiyJCVLNW0yn&id=Project%3ASamsung+Fingerprint

This should perform a different action when unlocking your device, depending on what finger you use.

It works on my Samsung Galaxy S9+ with Android 9, but I wonder how it works on other devices.

Anyone with other Samsung devices/Android versions care to try it out? :)

Thanks in advance!

[HOW-TO] Create Tiny URL for the current web page in a browser or replace long URL with tiny one when editing some text
Yesterday I posted a tutorial about this, but I figured it was incomplete.

In this updated version you have 2 ways of creating a Tiny URL:
- From a Share: When you're on a web page, share the page to AutoShare and it'll put the Tiny URL on your clipboard. Demo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3OR6tb3fDA
- When editing text: When you're editing some text in any app, select a URL > AutoShare > Tiny URL and the edited text will be converted on the spot. Demo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6BuMR-y7zk

You can get the full tutorial here or import it directly here.

Again, enjoy! :)
