Can Tasker detect if the lockscreen has been unlocked.

[Charles Deens]

I would like to run a task when the lockscreen is unlocked with its code. It appears Tasker can detect whether or not the keyguard is disabled or enabled. Though, it doesn't appear Tasker can recognize if the lockscreen has been unlocked.

I've searched a bunch of topics, though they're all related to enabling the keyguard.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

It’s under ‘Event » Display » Display Unlocked’.

[Charles Deens]

Thanks for the reply, though that didn't work for me. I have an event to disable the keyguard when connected to wifi. I added the "Display Unlocked" to the Wifi connected event, though it still disables the keyguard even with the lockscreen locked. I want it to disable the keyguard after the lockscreen is unlocked.

What are you trying to achieve? Unlocking your phone when it's connected to Wi-Fi?

I want my phone to disable the keyguard when connected to my wifi network, however I don't want it to disable the keyguard if the lockscreen is locked.

I found that if the keyguard is disabled when the lockscreen is locked, it will re-enable itself when the home button is pressed. So that's why I do not want the keyguard disabled if the lockscreen is locked.

Assuming the lockscreen is also disabled when connected to your wifi...disabling the keyguard is a big hit or miss. I've tried several ways and the end result for me was to use Secure Settings plugin to change the Lockscreen timeout. Basically, this would allow me to extend the timeout when connected to a hotspot, but the keyguard would still be active. Then, when at home, connected to wifi, my lockscreen and keyguard are disabled.

Another option that worked most of the time for me was using an Xposed framework Mod. The problem with the keyguard is it's tied to the Notifications shade, so even if you disable it, the keyguard will reappear after viewing notifications. The dev of the Xposed mod removes the code, temporarily, that allows the keyguard to reappear...if that makes sense.

Thanks for your response. I found that if the keyguard is disabled after the phone is unlocked, it will remain unlocked. However, if the keyguard is disabled while the phone is locked, the keyguard will come back on. Thats why I was looking for an event that can be fired once the lockscreen is unlocked. Unfortunaltely, it doent appear to be any event announing the lockscreen is unlocked. I even checked the debug log, and when the locke screen is unlocked, the only thing I can find in the debug is  WindowManager : Lock screen displayed. It would be greate if Tasker can tell exactly when the lockscreen is unlocked. I tried Dispaly unlocked, but that does not work.

Take a look at Widget Locker. It's a lock screen replacement that has tasker integration to enable and disable.

I've owned that for awhile but gave up since it didn't work with my secure settings disable lockscreen task!

How did you manage this?

[Matt R]

The display unlocked event should be correct. Can you post your exported profile description (long-press the profile name and select menu -> export -> description to clipboard and paste in a reply here)?

Widget Locker? I've had it for quite a while and haven't been using it, because of similar reasons. It wasn't reliable, and I hadn't seen updates in a while. One day I saw an update, but didn't pursue it. Then I ended up on a GS4, and got Android up to 4.3. I've been wanting to play with Dash Clock for some time, but when I did, and had Secure Settings disable my lockscreen, I couldn't see Dash Clock. So it occurred to me that Widget Locker might allow me to add Dash Clock. I tried it, and it worked. So that is what I use, now. I still have Secure Settings clear my password and disable the lockscreen. But of course, Widget Locker stays on. Until you issue a Widget Locker command to disable it. I only do this at night before I go to bed, so I don't have to fumble with the lockscreen if I have to look at my phone in the middle of the night. In the morning I enable it again. So there is an extra step involved, but it works.For me, at least. I use a pin for my passcode, which is one of the more reliable methods for Secure Settings to work with. I've read plenty about people trying to use pattern lock, or even passphrase, and not having reliable results. The profiles and tasks I use are below. Every now and again Widget Locker doesn't enable correctly, but it has never failed to disable.

I just put a DashClock widget on my Home screen as well as the lock screen, so I see it when I'm in my car, house or office and the lock screen is disabled, and also when I'm out and about.

What is the advantage of using WidgetLocker over my method?

Advantage?  Not much, really. Widget Locker does have direct Tasker integration. It's not a plug-in, it's a built-in 3rd party action. (Thanks, Pent!) Six commands are supported: Enable, Disable, Suspend, Resume, Activate, and Unlock. I only use the Enable and Disable commands. Widget Locker was the first lockscreen replacement that supported the use of widgets. When it first came out, that was its big advantage. Obviously with Android 4.3 and newer, adding widgets to the lockscreen is now built-in. So there is less incentive to use it. But for me, it solved a problem. Your mileage may vary.

@Charles, I hope this didn't hijack your thread too badly. For your situation, it might be just the solution because of the more granular control you can have over the lockscreen.

Ah!

Thanks.
