Re: ES File Explorer

AutoShortcut plugin.

The AutoShortcut plugin won't work though because the item is not in the normal list of shortcuts available.  The only way to make the Shortcut is through ES File Explorer options menu.  The same applies for trying to create a shortcut to a specific directory with ES File Explorer.  For whatever reason, they force you to create the shortcuts inside the app and they are not available through the normal shortcuts menu.

That's because those shortcuts are actually widgets. They probably broadcast an intent for ES to listen for and act upon. Astro can do something similar, and this is exactly how it is working. I just tried it with ES, and it works the same way. You might be able to figure out the intent that is used by using the app Intent Intercept, then you could take that information and use it with Tasker's own intent functions to achieve the desired result. I've not taken it to this level yet, but it should be possible.

Yes, the shortcut created on the launcher desktop by ES file explorer is available for autoshortcut, to get it work, you need to install "quickshortcutmaker" from Android play store. after installed, you will find a new option named" Activity" in autoshortcut.

 

click this new option, and then filter with ES file explorer, then you will see "com.estrongs.android.pop/com.estrongs.android.pop.ftp.ESftpshortcut" which pointing to that shortcut you need to run.

 

select it, and work done.

Use task "Send Intent" to start/stop ES File Explorer ftp:

1、StartESFtp
Tasks->New Task("StartESFtp")->Add Action->Misc->Send Intent->
Action: android.intent.action.MAIN
Package: com.estrongs.android.pop
Class: com.estrongs.android.pop.ftp.ESFtpShortcut
Target: Activity
2、StopESFtp
Tasks->New Task("StopESFtp")->Add Action->Misc->Send Intent->
Action: android.intent.action.MAIN
Extra1: mode:2
Package: com.estrongs.android.pop
Class: com.estrongs.android.pop.ftp.ESFtpShortcut
Target: Activity

I like to use ES File Explorer for the ftp server setting to connect with my computer wirelessly so I don't have to fool with cables.  My only complaint is that the ftp function doesn't start with the app; however, there is an option to create a shortcut to run the ftp server.  My question is how do I get Tasker to run the shortcut to turn on the ftp server after I've chosen the trigger for connecting to my wifi network?  Thanks.
