Beta 4.0 (Android 4.0+ Devices Only)

[Pent]

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

The most obvious result of 8 weeks work: a white background :-)

I don't have an ICS device for testing, so fingers crossed it's mostly
OK.
Come to think of it, I should've tried it on the emulator...

About project tabs: the action to toggle projects (long-click any
bottom button) is relatively unintuitive, but

a) I found too much interference from Android's own buttons trying to
stroke up
b) since the bottom bar is always there anyway, there's not much cause
to hide the projects, just so you can see the help and search buttons

Important new preference if you don't like a white background: Menu /
More / UI / Theme.

Let the flood of crash reports commence!

p.s. beta for 1.6+ devices coming once I work out some complications

Well That's interesting .....  :)

I did not think this was on the table??
What will this beta include???

Additions from the beta that was available before I started working on
the 4.0+ version, and some extra bug fixes e.g. for wireless charging.

Installed on my Galaxy Note 10.1 on Android 4.1.2. Tasker is indicating no active profiles. Even after reboot. Should have two active. No indications of being active within the UI nor on the notification.

From the runlog, it appears the Tasker Startup profile I have ran ok. Nothing after that. I manually ran the enter task of the profile that should be active first, which sets a variable that should activate the second profile. But it didn't run either, even though the variable is set. The first profile is based on a Wi-Fi ssid, the second on a variable. The second profile uses secure settings, which also does not appear to be working. Everything was working correctly in the previous beta.

For what it's worth, here is the portion of the run log since restarting the device. Both tasks were run manually. Profiles did not activate.

Do you want a system log?

Scott, could you turn on SD logging (Menu / Prefs / More / SD Log),
then create a simple Time profile and tell me if it shows up as
active ?

If not, could you send me the SD log straight away ?

Thanks, could reproduce the wifi at least, and suspect they're
connected.

I don't recommend anyone download the beta until I get to the bottom
of it.

Pent

[Dave]

I can also confirm that no WiFi related tasks are working for me.

Liking the new look! Looking forward to an update that fixes this issue!

[Vladimir Oz]

well well... profile with one simple Variable state context does not work. 

But with "Profile 4 Tasker" plug-in state - works.

I think it's not cool.

UI is pretty enough.

IMHO: projects' tab should be at left and hidden. Tap on Tasker icon should half open it scrollable up <-> down. Like Categories in Google Media, Notebooks in Evernote, etc. It can show then Icon and name.

[Pent]

Beta 2 available, should fix wifi and probably several other things.

Not a bad idea, but that's not the Android design guidelines decree
for what the icon is to be used for.

Pent

[Dave]

yes wifi profiles are working now!

that was quick ;)

[Dave]

small gripe with the design

when editing a task its kinda hard to figure out how to confirm your selection. 

i had to try a couple of times before i found out that the top left corner meant "OK" for my selection

maybe put an actual checkmark somewhere so that its obvious where to click ;)

[Wietse van Buitenen]

had 3 FC's with b1 on my Nexus 7, don't really know what happened and can't reproduce now..

will play with b2

although I am one of those people that doesn't really care about UI I must say I quite like the new look, some things aren't as clear as they were in previous UI but that's just my brain that needs to adjust :)

is it from this beta series on that we can't export Projects, Tasks etc on Android 4.0+ and import them back in Android 2.3?

Or will there be a way as long as the stuff used is available on target platform?

It should work OK unless you're e.g. using something where the
parameters have changed or a new action.

I havn't tested it, but I don't remember anything relevant till now.

It's supposed to be Android design guidelines that that thing top left
means 'accept and up'.
I got lots of 'please change the UI to match the guidelines' emails.

You can also just use the back key.

[RudeboyX]

Great work on the new UI Pent, it makes Tasker feel more integrated with my OS now.

 

I do have a couple of issues to report though.

 

1. Plugin issues

    "Assistant Event" - wont trigger event, doesn't appear in the runlog but if i trigger whilst tasker is running, im ruturned to my homescreen.

    "AutoRemote" actions wont run (At least for "send message")(Although it is reciving messgaes for profile triggers correctly)

 

2. When filtering/searching in the action menu, if you clear your search and then enter a sub catogory you are presented with all actions from every sub catogory.

 

3. Action -> Profile Status. Doesn't seem to be working.

 

4. I've had a couple of tasker restarts. (noticed tasker notification disapear and restart)

 

5. "Battery Changed" context not triggering.

 

 

Running 4.0 Beta2 on TF300T CM10.1 Nightly. All triggers/events/actions etc work fine prior to installing 4.0beta

 

Thanks again for the UI update, I'll keep my eye out for more issues.

 

Regards
RBX

 

[RudeboyX]

Scratch that. Plugin triggers seems to be playing up for autoremote also. 1 in every 10 received maybe triggers a profile and even then it plays funny games with tasker like keeping the profile active even though its set as an event.

RBX

[Scott Miller]

Yes. Both profiles activate now, and the tasks run as expected. Thanks.

Scott

[TS]

Pent,

The new UI looks great!

One bug found so far:
If I set a lock code (to prevent changes to tasks etc) and set it to be locked at Tasker startup, I cannot enter the code. The input dialog gets reloaded every second or so, which makes it impossible to enter the code...

Regards

[UncleMike]

Any particular reason that Task Timers (on the home scree) are now 3x2 instead of 2x1?

Also, the button to create a new profile is located at the end of the project tabs.  This seems unintuitive.  I hit the button five times thinking it might create a new profile, and even then I misread it as prompting for a project name.  Long pressing on the profiles tab might be more intuitive, but I'm less than sure about that.

Some places in the new UI appear to have gone through color changes only, making it hard to distinguish UI elements from the background.  In particular I'm thinking of the Variable Set dialog, where the field for the "to" value is the same color as the background, and there's no border.  Aside from the "to" line, there's no indication that there's a place to enter data.

I have no plugin category for event contexts.  I could have sworn it used to be there.

Obviously a lot of effort went into the new UI, but I think no matter how well it's done it's going to be a little confusing for long-time Tasker users.

[Daniel Stříbrný]

Great job Pent! But in edit scene window, it is not possible edit elements in upper area because there are buttons of edit scene window...

Time based profiles are behaving strangely. On both of my devices, I have a profile set to activate at 23:31 until 06:59. It did not run on either device. However, I opened Tasker to check on it, and when I exited I saw that it was running. This was the same on both devices. Neither device was sleeping, as I had been actively using both of them at the time.

Also, just noticed, when viewing the run log with the dark theme enabled, time stamps are black on black. It looks ok with the light theme enabled.

Both are stock Jellybean. GS3 is 4.1.1 and GNote 10.1 is 4.1.2.

Yeap. B2 works with Variables states.

Using left tab for projects, You can introduce projects grouping, how it shown at screenshot from my previous message  - feeds are grouped in categories. Yes, it's for advanced users, but it's would be very convenient feature.

Next UI suggestion: reduce the profile switcher's size using " O | I " instead " OFF | ON "

Could you clarify that ? Was the profile shown as active in the
notification pulldown ?

It's important to distinguish between profiles not *activating* and
tasks not *running*.

Thanks,

Pent

Can't seem to turn off or on profiles, even at trying the save and exit button. Only toggling the master tasker on off switch works.

Do you mean 'disabling a profile with it's switch in the main screen

If not, could you give more details, thanks.

I think/hope that newer users will first get used to the button at the
bottom, being for adding stuff, then when not in beginner mode anymore
carry on that way.

The concern is valid however, and I'm still thinking about project
presentation however.

No, never.

Yeah I mean disabling or enabling profiles using the switch button. Disabling and enabling it via another task doesn't work either.

[Johnathan Wee]

Sorry, what do you mean by that?

Do I need to download something for you to see?

In the screenshot it mentions a file in /sys/bus/usb, could you look
in the file (e.g. with a file manager) and tell me what's there ?

Pent

There are 2 directories

That's a good one. I can reproduce it, but when debugging to system
log is enabled it doesn't occur :-)

Pent

[Johnathan Wee]

I had the same thing. I just went back to 1.3b4, disable the lock code, then updated to 4b2 and its was ok since

[Scott Miller]

Yeah, sorry, I should have known better. The profile doesn't activate when the time context begins. I also have another profile with a repeating time context that should be running to keep my phone from deep sleep over night. No evidence in the run log that it ran at all.

Scott

[Scott Miller]

I guess I'm not quite awake yet. I replied to the wrong message. The profile did not activate. That's what prompted me to take a look.

Scott

I'm seeing part of this as well. I have four actions in my night time task that change the status of other profiles. According to the run log, the actions were executed, but the profile status did not change from on to off, or the reverse.

I don't know why it wasn't working, but I switched the mechanism to a
more efficient one and it works now :-)

I havn't been able to reproduce that manually changing the switch in
the UI does not disable the profile, it works fine.

Is that for all profiles ?

Pent

[DMagician]

Any reason why FC on open when profiles/tasks/scenes from backup are restores?

[Scott Miller]

For me, I didn't try the manual switch until now. If I turn it off, it looks like it works. I change to a different project and come back, the switch is on. I turned it off, then exited and saved. Came back in and it was on again.

Scott

[tr91]

It's for all profiles, regardless if I'm trying to enable or disable it, it won't save the changes. Even new fake profiles I made in the new beta version won't work either.

Anyway I'm back to using the old tasker for now.

[Pent]

Scott, is it just a Time context, or is there another context there
too ?

Pent

The profile that I originally reported also has a variable set context. The repeating profile also has a power context. I also have several other "instant" time contexts, where I set start and end time 1 minute apart. These only have a time context, and also did not activate.

Found the problem there, it also explained the Profile Status not
working which had been puzzling me.

Lots of other things will not be working for the same reason, will
push an update out later.

Pent

[Scott Miller]

Yes, other changes save. Interesting side note, I made a change to the enter task by adding a stop action, and I also changed the profile status and it saved also.

I just tried changing the status of that same profile again, without making any other changes, and now it does not save again.

Scott

[DMagician]

Sorry, tried uninstalling and reinstalling and all back to normal (look like.) I'll update later.

I thought that may be the case. there are just too many things not working for them all to be issues you missed. One stone should hopefully take out multiple birds (I beleive the expression is something like that)

I guess you're sliding the switch accross as opposed to clicking it ?

If so, problem probably solved, fixed for next time.

It's because the previous code was written for a button that you could
only click :-)

Pent

[Doron Barzilay]

Found what is causing FC:

Banalic as it seems, chaging "Costum Notification layout" is (so it looks like) causing Tasker to freeze and agter a while FC....

I've checked it and double checled it (modifying settings ONE NY ONE)...

I've noticed there is some duplication of some icons in both light and dark style

i.e. the standard "Settings" icon
      the standard "GPS" icons
      the standard "Tick"& "Cross" icons
      the standard "Search" icon
      the standard "Help" icon
And a few others.

The duplicates do seem to be a little smaller is size.

No biggie, but you could maybe save some apk size or add some other icons in their place.

Yes, they're needed for the action bar in the UI. Figured I may as
well make the smaller versions available to the user too.

It's to indicate the drag margin. You can turn it off in UI
preferences. By default it's off.

I see that now, thanks. On the Galaxy Nexus it overlaps with the ON/OFF slider in portrait mode. Maybe it would be better to make its position dynamic, at least if the user has it positioned on the right, like a certain # of pixels to the left of the ON/OFF slider? Not sure how you'd handle it if the user has it positioned on the left.

Don't you have a blue line under text entry fields ?

In the light theme there is a light gray line below the field.

BTW, Next UI suggestion: reduce the profile switcher's size using " O | I " instead " OFF | ON "

When you click it turns blue ?

I read that one, it's too cryptic for non-techies and in any case does
not reduce the switch size (the relevant API to do that wasn't till
SDK version 16 and I'm targetting 14).

Can reproduce, thanks.
