Tasker Intent for Webkey

[pktsym]

Hi, the developers of the Webkey app have a thread going about the
best way to work with Tasker; perhaps you could give us your
thoughts.

http://groups.google.com/group/androidwebkey/browse_thread/thread/753617c7483ad407/932d55a4ebb72b48#932d55a4ebb72b48

Thanks for any ideas!

If they specify an intent they listen for, you can send it with the
Action or Component Intent
actions. They can specify service, activity, receiver whatever they
like
(as long as you specify the same in the Tasker action).

Ideally though, they'd implement a plugin:

http://tasker.dinglisch.net/plugins.html

Which would give them compatibility with several apps similar to
Tasker
also and would give you control of more than just starting the
service.

I know this is a Tasker forum, but I wanted to give props to the
author of webkey. Very cool app. I am going to play with it and see
how to start it via tasker. I'd like to send a sms with a phrase that
tasker will identify and start the service.

Webkey has an autostart function on boot... however it doesn't work on
some phones with lower memory as it gets killed cause other processes
have priority. Autostart works on my galaxy 5 running 2.1 but not my
galaxy mini on gingerbread.
