4.0u2

[Pent]

I've released the next update on the beta page for testing:

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

Although it's just a bugfix version, some of the bugfixes were to
fundamental frameworks so I think a few days of testing before release
is a good idea...

Especially cool if the people having trouble with variable listings
and memory loss could give it a go.

Thanks,

Pent

Hi Pent,

I noticed the items in the "Zoom Action Category" (still) not fit on the tiles, I saw this was a little better in the beta

Is the toast first in the action ? If not, please try it as first.

What type of icon ? If builtin, which one ?

Yes, the toast is first action in the task, originally i used 'app icon' and selected the installed version of the app as icon source, now when i checked, i realized that this isn't possible anymore, so i selected built in icon (white headphone) but the profile still not works. I would send you the project, but you would need a galaxy s3 and siyah kernel to use it...

[Wietse van Buitenen]

still experiencing crashes with u2 :(

will send you a log later today..

if needed I'll try to get more log tomorrow..

the theme change you made in the Scene editor is a very welcome one, I can now see my buttons again :)

It's ok now when opening a Scene but it's still the old (dark) way when clicking an element for resize or move, could you also change this as it is when first opening a Scene?

[Paul [sabret00the]]

I'm using u2 and it's working generally well bar the fact that when I open Firefox it restarts itself.

I've also got an issue whereby I went to change the CPU governor earlier via Tasker and it appeared to work fine (I didn't actually select anything). However since when it's saying that CPU is unsupported on my device.

I created a project with a headset context that just flashes a toast,
works fine on stock N7 both with Tasker and in kid app.

Are you opening the app at least once before inserting the headset ?

Firefox restarts itself ? Or Tasker ?

Just CPU ? No other root functions (e.g. Input / Dpad) ?

Tasker restarts itself.

Also ah you're right. It appears it's the Root actions. How do I get Tasker to re-request root privileges?

> Tasker restarts itself.

Do you have an app context for firefox (or any app context ?)

It didn't happen before the update I presume ?

By 'restarts itself', you mean the monitor icon disappears and then
reappears ?

Is there anything in /sdcard/Tasker/crash.txt from around the same
time?

> Also ah you're right. It appears it's the Root actions. How do I get Tasker

It's stopped working since the update ? Could you try just rebooting
if so please ?

Thanks,

Pent

[Paul [sabret00the]]

I think it's happened since 4.0, it's just become more obvious of late. My apologies for misrepresenting the bug as though it's something freshly introduced with u2.

By restarts, the monitor (status bar icon) disappears, reappears and then it says "XX Profiles Active"

No profiles with Firefox (Nightly) as a context. I should also state that it's not every time, but around just over half of the time.

/sdcard/Tasker/crash.txt doesn't exist

Rebooting never fixed the problem, however updating my phone did. I assume it was a cache issue. Needless to say, I've granted permanent superuser access.

What if you do Menu / More / Run An Action and set the value
to one that is shown in the Android Settings page ?

Pent

[FadeFx]

Hmm, that's strange, yes i opened the app multiple times already, i even rebooted the device. I think i gonna delete that profile and build from scratch. Probably there is something left because of that icon stuff. Btw, please reenable us to use app icons or custom icons in notifications, it would be way cooler to have this because the user canniest easily know what app the notification belongs to...

[FadeFx]

Indeed that did the trick, no idea what has changed, as i only replaced the profile and reused the tasks, but now it works. Thanx for your support...

Btw, the icon request still is valid...

[Pent]

>please reenable us to use app icons or custom icons in notifications,

It was never possible, Android doesn't allow it.

Pent

[Bernhard Mähr]

There it seams to work. But inside a task not. I recreated the action but without an effect. The other actions are executed.

[Cptnodegard]

>please reenable us to use app icons or custom icons in notifications,

Pent

Maybe not on lower versions, but it works perfectly fine with the AutoNotification plugin, unless we're talking about different things 

[FadeFx]

But i did do exactly that in previous tasker version, sure it was a dirty hack, but it WAS possible.

[FadeFx]

What i was talking about is that i built a notification which displayed an icon taken from the app i produced containing that notification... probably a bit complicated to explain but pretty draught forward when you have done it once. I was not able to select a custom icon for notification, only app icon, so i had to export the app once and then use it as icon source for the notification. This was definitely possible in pre 4.0 version of tasker.

[Pent]

> Maybe not on lower versions, but it works perfectly fine with the

App icons ?

Pent

[FadeFx]

Cptnodegard, thanx for the plugin hint, i was going to ask for something like this soon, as i plan to extend the functionality of the notification to have media controls and probably album art of the current title... this should be possible with autonotification plugin...

[Bernhard Mähr]

I had been having problems with my variables when I came across this thread. Previously, my %HTTPD was not showing up. I installed the latest beta and now it is showing up but not in the project. The task that is pulling the http get data is my Sun Data Project. The variable is ending up in my Profiles Project which is my first project (all the way to the left). Hope this helps.

It's not supposed to show up in any Variables tab, that's only for
*user*
variables.

Found another bug, not sure when it appeared, closing the softkeyboard is no more working by using 'close system dialogs'

[FadeFx]

And one more, this time in app factory, and it is more like a missing feature. If i have a notification with action buttons, they are not available in the exported app...

[Pent]

> Found another bug, not sure when it appeared, closing the softkeyboard is no more working by using 'close >system dialogs'

I didn't know that ever worked. In any case, it's OS-internal
behaviour which I have no influence on.

Found out it actually does display, but only if tasker is disabled and it does not display button icons (built in) making it look like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40873244

It did work earlier in 1.3.3u3 afaik...

I noticed that when trying to assign a  task to a specific profile, and the scroll window pops up, sometimes when trying to scroll slowly with finger the task list hops around.  I find I have to try to "guess fling" the scroll list to the right spot.  

Or, I can go into Tasks and open the task I want then flip back to the profiles window and then when the task selection window pops up then its pointing at the desired task.

As well, sometimes when naming a profile or a task, the text entyr window gets chopped in half horizontally so the top of the text you are entering isn't visible.

If this has been reported, I apologize.  Other than that I find this release pretty sweet !

I'm using Tasker to play a music when my Alarm launches. Therefore I have a scene on which the taks should interrupt the music play. Since I have had no other clue how to do it, I loop until a variable (AlarmStopp) is set. Additionally I have added a FadeIn for the volume to increase, which should run in the background. The FadeIn is launched before the music starts playing, which would lead to a blocking task, if not executed multithreaded.

My task was designed several months ago and it works more or less all the time. Unfortunately, out of the blue, the task doesn't stop any longer since last weekend. I manually upgraded to the 4.0u2m today, but the problem still persists.

Additionally I wanted to check the RunLogs. They are empty and I have no clue where to enable them properly. I wanted to check, where it hangs, but since I couldn't find anything, I left it. My current guess is that the MusicPlay-action is not contiued, cause I can change manually the variable AlarmStopp to 1, but the task continues to be executed. Therefore I guess, there is some problem with the MusicPlay.

Any hints how

1) To interrupt the MusicPlay properly?
2) To reenable the RunLogs?

I included my current Task as well as the Debug-Logs for the user-interaction: Start Tasker, select the task Alarm, launch it, press stopp on the Scene, change the variable AlarmStopp in Tasker, change to the Task, stop it in the Task.

When you filter actions, the filter block thing moves up the screen and out of view.

[Cptnodegard]

Found what I believe is a bug. When using Play Music or Play Ringtone, followed by a Stop action, the music will just keep on going and the task will show as running in Tasker, even when the run log shows that it stopped the task

This is getting to the point where these issues are seriously affecting my ability to create Tasker articles, because I have to fight it crashing away half my work all the time. 

[Cptnodegard]

Btw, it's leaving Tasker that always creates the crash. I hit the back button, and I can immediately tell if it's going to crash by how responsive it is. This is a major issue since it then crashes away tons of changes :/

These last few crashes haven't been scene editing related. For this last one, I was editing 3 tasks and a profile, back and forth, wanted to go out to save before I packaged it into a project for export, and boom it crashed.

I have seen this same behaviour of SGS3 Android 4.1.2 Stock.

Hi there,

I'm pretty new to Tasker, so I hope this isn't just a simple a user error. Have looked for similar topics but haven't seen any.

I experience this in both the released 4.0u1 (Google play) and the 4.0u2 beta. The phone is a Galaxy Nexus with stock Android 4.2.2. Happens during Tasker managed tasks and in apps exported with App Factory.

The problem: When I use "Variable Query" to get user input, the input window sometimes just flash one time on the screen as a black square for a very short time and then disappear. When this happens it will skip to the next action in the task list. Sometimes the black square will stay on screen instead of a quick flash. See attached screenshot.

I can't seem to find a pattern in this problem. I set up a test task containing 10 numbered "Variable Query" to see what would happen. Sometimes it skipped a few actions (I saw both the flashing square and the staying square), sometimes it went through the list flawlessly.

I hope my description of the problem isn't too fuzzy to understand... Is this a known problem, or maybe a simple user error after all?

Sorry, feeling a bit dense, where can you filter actions ?

Pent

[Pent]

The same occurs if you just let the task end (and always did) so I
think that's consistent.

Use Stop Music to counter Play Music, for Play Ringtone there's no way
to stop
(they used to just all stop by themselves... need to do something
about that...)

Pent

[Pent]

> Btw, it's leaving Tasker that always creates the crash.

I think that one is fixed in the next update. I had hoped to get it
out sooner. Today or tomorrow. Sorry for the trouble.
