do they interfere with full screen games for example?
I actually posted this a couple of days ago and it appeared as though I
accidentally double posted. Guess I deleted both :/ This is a project
I've been working on and maintaining for over a year now, but I am just
now finishing up what turned into a complete re-write in order to take
advantage of scenes, action labels, arrays, For loops, etc. The action
labels alone allow me to jump all over place by calling other tasks and
putting the desired label in %par1. What was nearing unacceptably slow
before is now is about as snappy as you'd expect from an app in the
market. As much as I like scenes, they're not the best answer for every situation out there. I think I'd prefer to have this as a widget made with Zoom, but I would need the ability to pass a parameter to a Task from Zoom before doing that. Having spent as much time as I have in Zoom, I've come to appreciate the finer control over the elements and their placement.
This is control screen I made for my own phone that I call up with long
search. The layout is probably self-explanatory, but green=on, red=off,
yellow outline=forced. A single tap toggles, long tap toggles forced
on and off, and in some cases stroke performs some other function. For
the screen brightness, long tap toggles between 255 and whatever it
should be. For screen timeout, long tap toggles between always on and
whatever the timeout should be. The mixer button brings up another
scene for adjusting volume levels.
The way it all works is that all of the setting get adjusted to where I
am or what I'm doing - at home, work, driving, sleeping, low battery,
etc. And I even subdivided work so that if I'm in the office all I have
to do is slide to unlock. If I'm around the west side of the building
where all of the administrative offices are, a PIN is required. Get the
PIN wrong and a photo is taken and immediate emailed to the email addy I
use for sign ups, registrations, etc. Get the PIN wrong 5 times and
the last front photo is displayed for the world to see while a ring tone
of the most obnoxious sounding alarm is played at volume 14.
I've been using a Google Play app called Brightness Level for a while. It allowed me to add a shortcut (which I could then rename to nothing and add a blank PNG as the icon of, making it invisible) to my homescreen and have it pop-up a small box with brightness controls. Worked great, but I wanted to stuff more useful things in the same menu, so I set about creating a scene. The attached image shows the invisible trigger, what it used to do through Brightness Level, and what it now does. There's the same brightness buttons (except auto, which I don't use), buttons for various profiles I have, a TextEdit feed which I use to manually input URLs into a text file I have (where another Tasker setup also adds URLs automatically, this is for when the auto system doesn't apply), and a toggle switch for TeslaLED.

Hope you like them.
I've seen a few people mention making scenes. I've been all over Youtube and Google. I've yet to find anything that points me in the right direction. Is there documentation that'll allow me to make a basic scene and learn from there? Does anyone have something I can see that'll at least show me the steps needed to make things happen? I registered a few years ago and have been using Tasker since. I'm just ready to do something else with it.Thanks!
You might not need the load app action. Unless you want to use a specific messaging app and don't have defaults set.
I used to use the intent thing but ever since I rooted my evo 4g and flashed an ics rom, the compose message goes straight to the thread.

Matt - now that's something along the lines of what I've been thinking about doing...Would you be interested in sharing your script for this? I'm relatively new to Tasker, but got it with a plan to create a little (hopefully little) task which would take an input of BG and Carbs, and using some Carb Ratio numbers, suggest an insulin bolus dosage... Nothing too technical, but sometimes my brain just isn't up to doing it on the fly...Jamie
You're right. I just tested it without Load App and it went right to
the thread. I'll adjust my guide. Thanks for looking it over. :)
how is it possible to show a scene as overlay and still have interaction like tap, long tap and stroke? I am really confused here, when I try to show a selfmade icon in an application I can not navigate in the application itself. in other words I can't have both.would love to hear the answer.

Hey folks,
I'm appalling at graphical design myself so I need some screenshots
for displaying on the website / Market etc.
If anyone wants to show off their creations, here's your chance, post
below :-)

p.s. please don't post here if you don't want me re-using the images.
Hi Ariel, I'm curious you mention database in the UI. Can you share what kind of database to use.
I should mention most of the app works behind the scenes, and generally the end user doesn't really ever have to open the app except for adding new customers. This UI was not part of the original plan, but since app factory came out, I decided to take the app-making a little more seriously so I tried out scenes to see what I can make (this would be my first UI made in Tasker).
;D
Ok, Thx for the info. It gives some ideas actually ;)
Hi, I'm curious, what context you use for creating an alarm? Afaik, time context can't use input/variable from child app. Cmiiw.

Here's mine. it pops up when I touch a certain spot in the screen (transparent zoom widget) and has 16 various tasks, a couple blocks of text that gets updated every 30 minutes and a controller for playing podcasts. Im not sure how much good it well be in a market screenshot. Would anyone even know it's a scene?
(or should i create a new one?)
