Use tasker to store Call Log entries to Calendar

[Hussain]

Hi guys,
I want to be able to write all my Daily Call Logs (Incoming/Outgoing/
Missed) to Calendar.
Right now, I'm using the help of a program called Call Log Manager Pro
(https://market.android.com/details?
id=com.appsbeyond.android.callhistoryplus&feature=search_result)
I'm using action intent to Call this Action
'com.appsbeyond.android.callhistoryplus.WriteToCalendarService'
However, when the task runs, nothing happens.
Can someone help me with a solution or at least provide another way I
can achieve this.
Thank you.

You need to contact the developer to see what the intent needs to be
(data, extras etc).

p.s. there's a Calendar Insert action in Tasker, perhaps it doesn't
meet all your requirements though

[Crew One]

There's an app for that :)

CallTrack

[CodeMonkey]

Sms backup + (don't forget the +) has Tasker hooks already and can do
this as well as backing up sms & mms.

I've tried Call Track also, but it does not sync automatically to
Calendar. I have to manually run the app to sync. Thats why, I was
thinking if I could do it with tasker. Any ideas?

Do you want to log each call to a corresponding call time in the
calendar, or a 'daily' log at say 10pm each night?

brendall, I need it to log each call time, but just save it once
daily. I also tried another app called 'Log2Calendar'. It logs to
calendar after each event but I found it draining my battery. Thats y
I need to use Tasker to initiate it once a day only. Please give ur
suggestions. Thank you.

Please give ur suggestions. Thank you.

Being selfish, I don't have time to write this for you, but I can
certainly outline what I would do:

You have the states:
Incoming Call
Missed Call

You have the event:
Phone Offhook

You would need to use the above triggers to write whichever of the
following variables were updated to a text file:

Call Name / Number/ Date / Time (In) (dynamic, monitored)
%CNAME / %CNUM / %CDATE / %CTIME
Call Name / Number/ Date / Time / Duration (Out)(dynamic, monitored)
%CONAME / %CONUM / %CODATE / %COTIME / %CODUR

(detailed on this page http://tasker.dinglisch.net/userguide/en/variables.html)

I haven't tested, so I don't know if the variables 'aren't set' when a
call state isn't true - such as incoming call makes outgoing call
clear - or if they remain populated until the next call.

I'm sure you can see that %CTIME and %CODUR will differentiate between
incoming and outgoing for you. To find out which one of these has been
updated and therefore which other variables you write to a text file,
I would suggest setting %PREVIOUS-CTIME to %CTIME at the end of a
task, so next time a call is registered IF %CTIME =(matches) %PREVIOUS-
CTIME you would know that you need to write the %CODUR (outgoing)
variables to the text file - make sure they are appended.

You can set Tasker to zip the files up once a week and create a new
one, or if you definitely want it exported to your calendar, you would
'read paragraph' of the text file to a created variable of %CALL-LOG
and place that content into the calendar entry Tasker creates for you.

I hope the above made sense...? Any questions, happy to help.

I'm using CallTrack and it syncs automatically.  Have you checked the settings within the app, and the sync settings in Android and the Calendar app?
