4.6u2 Prerelease

http://tasker.dinglisch.net/prerelease/

I'm releasing this version for testing primarly for testing of cell near with the new API when the display is off, and problems with Perform Task when the device is busy.

Pent

        <LI>bugfix: cell tower detection when off: attempted improvement when using new cell API
        <LI>bugfix: removed spurious Java warning when evaluating certain conditions
        <LI>bugfix: action Perform Task: improved mechanism for submitting new task in queue
        <LI>bugfix: timer widget: typed values in number pickers were being ignored
        <LI>bugfix: action Tasker / Disable was flashing an error and stopping task (after disabling)
        <LI>bugfix: action Java Function: catch attempts to run a function on a null object
        <LI>bugfix: task testing: stopping a tested task in middle of Wait exiting, then returning to task edit, task was still showing
        <LI>bugfix: action Java Object: wasn't showing object selection icon
        <LI>bugfix: action Java Object: had no help text
        <LI>bugfix: action Java Function: various problems with inner classes
        <LI>bugfix: action Java Function: storing return values in things that were partially (%) variables
        <LI>bugfix: scene element Text: links in HTML format weren't clickable

[Pent]

p.s. take the 'm' release if you bought from Play Store, otherwise the other one.

        <LI>bugfix: action Java Object: wasn't showing object selection icon

 OK.

        <LI>bugfix: action Java Object: had no help text

 Still no help text.

        <LI>bugfix: action Java Function: various problems with inner classes

 Things get worse, mybe. Some function works well on 4.6u1 while report error on 4.6u2-prerelease. As follows:

---"A1-A8" works very well on 4.6u1("A9" error, doesn't know why?). Report "A4" error on 4.6u2-prerelease. ---

        <LI>bugfix: action Java Object: had no help text

 Still no help text.

It's there for the final release, just inaccessible for the prerelease version.

Fixed that one, thanks.

Thanks.

The A4 problem is the same as on the first task, and is fixed.

I've improved the logging to reveal the A9 problem:

I don't know anything about Xpath, so I'll leave that to you to work on :-)

The demo of XPath using is OK now. It's not an issue in Tasker. I made the wrong parameters type for "InputSource".

The demo task attached.
