Rdio android intents + tasker

[Marc McHardy]

Hi there,

I've already asked this question on the tasker google group but no luck there. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tasker/DQWRa71lSBo

I would love to be able to use rdio intents within tasker, there should really be nothing stopping it from working as I have been able to get rdio intents working from another android app that I was hacking around with.

Rdios intents can be found here: http://www.rdio.com/developers/docs/guides/android-intents/ref-guide-android-intents

I am trying to recreate the following in tasker:

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction("rdio.android.action.playercontrol");
intent.putExtra("com.rdio.android.playercontrolkey",
    "rdio.android.action.playercontrol.play");
context.sendBroadcast(intent);

However it doesn't work (or I am doing something wrong) with the following tasker setup:

action: rdio.android.action.playercontrol

extra: com.rdio.android.playercontrolkey:rdio.android.action.playercontrol.play

target: broadcast

All other tasker fields were left blank.

I have triple checked for extra spaces, misspelled words, incorrect formatting etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Marc!

Just tried this myself by copy-pasting your example and it worked. It
only worked when Rdio was already launched and in a paused state.
Perhaps you need to launch the app first?

Hope this helps

Best

thanks for trying it out! did you try the tasker code or the java?

The java code i had working fine but no luck with tasker. Hopefully you were using tasker and I can hold on to some hope.

I'll give it another go when i get some free time. I may possibly need to clear taskers cache/reinstall..

I happened to already have Tasker installed, so I copied the example you gave.
